“Wow, this movie looks terrific. And such a nice DVD too…”
Indiegogo backers of my film Choch will be pleased to hear that the DVDs are finally finished and I will be getting them into your eager hands in the next three weeks. Thanks very much for your patience!
Those of you who have never heard of my film, you should go check it out. We’ll be doing a wider release of the DVD in the spring, although if you contact me directly I may be willing to sneak you an early screener.
In replacing narrative, you need an idea. What you do is take an idea that you have about a situation and then translate it into a dramatic situation that seems as normal as everyday life so the audience doesn’t see the idea. So it doesn’t show… But you have to deal with philosophic points in terms of real things. Children are real. Food is real. A roof over your head is real. Taking children to the bus is real. Trying to entertain them is real. Trying to find some way to be a good mother, a good wife- I think all those things are real.
