Do it properly
I got a call today from my beloved film institution to learn that my current tutor who was overlooking both of my projects is leaving to teach at Toronto Film School. I’m not sure if this is official news, but I know he’ll read this eventually.
He’s been great help and showed amazingly encouraging interest in my ideas; probably single-handedly turned me from a free-floating slacker into a person fully determined to do my own thing. If this is not going to actually cause some harm to the documentary film heritage of humanity reminds to be seen. But it did evidently help me out if only by stuffing my throat with the likes of budget spreadsheets (a.k.a. budget spreadshits) and equipment checklists I thought I could get away without. It might seem like little inspiration but he knows I’m not short on inspiration. It’s the action I’m not big on.
You’re going to do it, he said, do it properly.
And you know that’s what it comes down to - do it properly.
Well I hope these spoilt brats at Toronto Film School appreciate what they’re getting.
