What was the inspiration for making your film?
Boy, that's a question. I suppose I was compelled to make an experimental piece that had a profoundly rich message at its core. Additionally, working within the surrealist genre would encourage abstract notions, and fathomless imagery, that all in all would explore the very nature of art. I wanted to make a Film that placed heavy emphasis on audience interpretation, i.e. how varying spectators could sculpture their own unique reading; this the oil that powered my cognitive engine.
Any fun Film Festival stories?
Cannes being the first Film Festival, no stories have unfolded as of yet. However, I'm hoping to take a beach ball, so I'm sure things will get wild.
How do you fund your work and balance your creative and work lives?
Amid the UK's Cinematic climate change, Film funding proves a streneous ordeal that curtails the growth of Production. Consequently, I've had no other choice than to fund my own projects... Apropos, I have a reservoir of work on ice at the moment. In terms of balance, all Filmmakers at some stage are forced to lead a double life; that's just the way the tide travels - Unless of course 'Lady Luck' hands you the nepotism card.
What do you hope to accomplish at Cannes and in your career?
I see no point in going to Cannes hell bent on trying to 'accomplish' anything - just being a part of this illustrious Film Festival is in itself a feat. Povided I can continue making Films, whilst concurrently venerating this piquant craft... I'll be a very happy man.

I was lucky enough to catch this at the festival and, can I say, one word: magical. Fragments of purest gold and a poignant elegy to a bygone era - a more noble time.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, with work like this you need to keep that cognitive motor set to turbo charge!
P.S. Wouldn't mind a shot of you with that beach ball! ;)
It's funny you should say it a "poignant elegy to a bygone era" @Kingmurdoch because I was more stunned by how futuristic it was - some might say timeless.
ReplyDeleteEmotionally speaking? Boy, where to begin - but probably not with "magical" @kingmurdoch, who does YOUR hair???!!!!
p.s I DID get that shot! <3 <£ Lollinz!
