In a room filled with talent and visionaries, I found my pulse was racing, my soul was invigorated, and I could feel the breath of creativity stroking my face. Enlivened by the sheer genius of so much conceptual art brimming, clawing its way to the surface, boiling and awaiting overflow. There is something quite tasty about the focus of those who want to see their mind’s eye be shaken and put to screen. It only solidifies the reality that is the cinema.
The moving canvas of our secrets, our thoughts, our fights, our social statements, our cry to the world … Every filmmaker must be willing to face that we are a little darker than most. Our raw flesh eating itself to expose what lurks within the depth of our conscious (not subconscious). We voluntarily awaken the beast. That is what pushes us to create in the first place. To underestimate the power of film is to underestimate the intoxication of illusion.
