Lately I've taken a shining to short films. I love the big ideas of them wrapped in bitesized packages. They've really been fun to dig into and digest.
The only other news I have on the movie front? Oh just a little thing. Apparently Harrison Ford has just signed on for the sequel of Blade Runner. Yeah, that's right. Decker is coming back.
The concept is another space time travel idea, but this time the story deals with salvation and intervention in the face of impending and inevitable doom. Record/Play manages to touch on so many rich concepts and ideas so quickly that I hope that Aaron Wolfe and Jesse Atlas are able to see some of their ideas make it to the big screen some day soon.
When I first watched TimeCrimes, I was struggling to understand if the TimeCrimes time travel system was deterministic or if time could actually change as the movie moved forward. A lot of this confusion centered around the young woman... who she was, how many times did she die? Did she die at all? Was Hector's wife killed and then saved? Was she killed at all? Etc. I also wasn't sure how the time machine worked. But seeing as though this was the first time that a "vertibrate had entered" the machine, they didn't understand it either.

I think your answer is great. The two characters were partly based on my previous love relationship/on us, and she had a quite different personality from mine but that's what inspired me to be with her. To learn something from another person who I can respect, who can show me the world, little things the way I haven't seen them before and bring the best out of me. And it's one of the best things in life if this need for sharing is mutual from both sides. (Well she did textile design and I make films...which is quite different, but at least both are art in a way)According to your children's question I think they wanted to know why R&D didn't 'do the fun stuff' anymore together since it's hard to accept or see when something good ends (changes).

What's the next big thing you would need to hear or have happen to move you guys towards a feature length expansion of Polis? -- Well, we won the competition so that is very exciting news. We are just starting the journey of making POLIS. We cant say too much but we're excited by all the support and producers involved.
These waves? What are they 30 feet? 40? The vertical is crazy. Notice that these guys aren't wearing ankle straps as they are riding? Your board would kill you if you did. Most come with releases now adays, but even so... no way. No thanks. It would drag you down into the coral for sure.
Over the last month or so I have been making a concentrated effort of delving into the short film world. I've had the pleasure of talking with a couple of fantastic directors and have discovered there is a ton to this world of shorts I knew nothing about.
I've been saying for years, and years, that the scariest, and one of the best books of all time is definitely The Shining. And the movie, with Jack Nicholson is a serious cult classic. Just a phenomenal movie. Definitely two amazing heavyweights in the world of books and movies. Redrum, Redrum.

Not that we need more evidence of Serial's absolute, and completely overwhelming hold on society, including our judicial system, but here it is all the same. Asia McCLain has filed an affidavit stating that she was with Adnan between the times of 2:20 p.m and 2:40 p.m. If you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about - please just stop reading and go listen.
So there was a documentary (Mockumentary? Meme w/in a meme? Internet scam?) that came out a year or two ago called Catfish. A guy begins to fall in love online and he and his friends decide to start recording video about the whole internet side of it and the unveiling of this relationship over time. They spoke on the phone, shipped art to each other, wrote love poems. It was very sweet... and intriguing. Only glitch? The woman on the other end of the relationship was a sham.
