fighting temptation
my mind has been a mess lately..
i got hit by a wave of inspiration, generated by a lot of different sources (from my sister'n'em's photoblog www.madeinponton.skyblog.com to watching uchenna's asian dvds collection to thinking about some of our cast to random thoughts )..
so like it's weird and difficult because:
- i can't talk about it with uchenna because i'm trying to keep his mind on THIS MOVIE
- i'm trying to keep MY mind on THIS MOVIE
- ideas are always more exciting than final product and like i said in my latest blog entry, i already the normal Production Down Syndrome and these fresh, uptaped, yet to even devellop new ideas are too damn exciting and may even too much for my mayonnaise (again) state of mind..
- i'm trying to also plan my life and that's even harder than producing a movie especially while you're doing so while producing a movie (get it ?)
so yeah pictures of my sister dressed as if in 2047 the center of fashion was Seoul inspire me.. just like our common conversations usually inspire the both of us. Like she's in architecture school and it's known by very few people i almost went into Urban Planning.. That's the map nerd in me and all that. Thank god i started an economics major instead that was so boring that i dropped out and went to film school (or was i just running away from a boring town ?) and we have those long mundane pluridisciplinarian conceptual conversations about everything.. our favorite one is about africa and organized chaos. how the non-sense makes sense.. and i can already promise you that the day i decide i'm mature enough to go behind the camera as a director, that concept will be fully explored (and that's probably the biggest reason why that day will never happen).. so yeah, the little devil unknowingly, in correlation with some other inputs sparkled something again. i won't tell you what though, hell, i won't tell her what.
then there's that weird desire of seeing Frank (our lead actor in Too Much Beautiful Woman) dressed in the same way as a character in a korean movie i watched yesterday night..
then there's that series of pictures Uchenna posted that reminded me of a short story set in Jamaica that would make a cool cool cool movie..
then there are songs here and there.. memories of books that come back to the surface..
yeah and that mess..
it will wait though.. wait until we're done with the shooting of this at least (or the total completion), wait until i can talk in detail about it with Uchenna since i can't write a story if my life depended on it, wait till those ideas get more mature, wait until we exactly know where we're going and hmmm.. where i'm personally going with all that..
ever tried to fight inspiration ?
like "you, great idea, GO AWAY ! NOW !"
i'd never thought i'd do it, i never thought i'd have to do it..
but hey, such is life.. and we're learning..
