Manifesto

well... I am a drama, theatre and performance with film production student back home in England, I tend to look at film through a theatre aspect, not because its less important but just because thats how i was taught you know its my background. When i watch a film it is to me pretty much exactly why film was created in the first place, its an escapism. It takes me away from the norm and immerses me into something new exciting and real. when I watch a film, you know one that really makes you go woooo what does that mean? why did they do that? How is that possible? it makes me want to create that, i wanna make people think, and maybe for one moment change the way they think about things. Film is different from theatre, its both more real and more unreal, I mean like abstract theatre its there,your thinking about it, it doesnt make any senese and yet you emotionally feel something because there is something there that changes the way you feel, thats how film is, its the emotional connection an audience can have with something that was created how ever long ago and it can change something bout the way you think.

With experimental film, i always look for the emptional connection creating some sort of character relationship, whether its just between one squigly line and
another there is a connection, and thats something i think theatre has given me. I always find a way to identify emotionally to stuff.
