View to a kill – one of my favourite films

Because deep down inside, you know that …

… this will not be the thing that brings you down.

I can re-live a memory, no matter how old, that is as clear and as strong as the day it happened.

However, there is a bias towards the melancholic. I don’t seem to retain happy memories in the same way.

I live the sad stuff over and over again.

I secretly think this is why I need to write.

I’m making a film.

Once upon a time filmmaking was my first and only love. If you made a film it had to be on 35mm (or 16mm at a push) or else it wasn’t a ‘real’ film.

It was a f@cking expensive hobby that required specialist crew and processing at a post production facility.

Photography and writing used to be the things I did in-between film projects, but because of their instant nature, they slowly became the things I did

the most often, and film slowly took a back seat.

Well not anymore.

I’m starting development on my new film project this week, and it’s good to be back.

Still toying with two variations of the same idea. A proper post, with project details to come as soon as I’ve made up my mind.

Angel? or Viking? … just joking (or am I?).
