filmmaking

What is it to be a filmmker. It is to want to show things to people the way you are seeing them. It is to shed light to emotions, facts, thoughts, problems, human icons that people can not see, or have not thought for them selves, or didn’t have the time to comprehend how many faces life has. Always shown through the eyes of the creator.

So, revealing in my book is what filmmaking is all about. Even if it is a story that is so far from the truth. Even better. It will awaken dimensions unexplored. Even if it just shows reality. Even better again. It will awaken likes or dislikes, help shape opinions.

One filmmaker once told me. You have to watch the movies that are being made and you have to understand the mistakes they are making, what their faults are, what the audience is not getting. You have to see what is missing and be the one to offer it. At first I thought great idea, that way I will be a step ahead and grap their attention.

But now that I think about it more it is completely wrong. I don’t want to find my voice through what other voices are not saying. I don’t want to discover where the light is not shed so that I can take my flash ligt and very cautiously place it there.

That would be the absolut form of lack of voice, of lack of personal vision, personal beliefs.

As a filmmaker I want to show the things that spontaneously spring out of my soul, my heart, my mind. The deeper I go in, the more in touch I am with the truth of my thought, the more people will undestand and identify with what I have to tell them.
