Who Knows? It's all about timeing.

It's getting to that time were i have know idea how my film will go down with the viewers, i think it's pretty fucking cool! But you never know!! Take John Carpenters the "THE THING" it's a huge cult hit now but at the time of it's cinema debut it flopped and was even slated!! It came down to timing and after "ALIEN" the views had a certain style they were craving from a Sci-Fi. I have thought very hard about timing and my viewers and now only time will tell if i was right or wrong. This was the same for Donni Darko which did real bad on it opening in the US and took a European market to notice it's brilliants, i thing after a re-release! The truth is if any one in the industry tell you they know the out come of a film, THEY ARE A FUCKING LIAR!! Jokes!

The NeverEnding Story

I was wondering when the last great fairy tale move came out that could mach up to the mighty power of "The NeverEnding Story", that film was just insane. Being both dark and emotional compelling i never quite new what was actually going on, i don't know if the director Wolfgang Petersen just didn't want to spoon feed his young viewers or possibly he just wasn't to clear in his story telling, But for me as a child that was the draw, a world so far out there, i wanted to be pulled in! It was fucking bonkers.

Fangula

This is the first short i made in film school, shot on super 16mm with none sinc sound.
It was a lot of fun and heavily influenced by Mathew Barneys art work and Barbarella.
