the best feeling in the World

I’ve been shooting Super 8MM since my brother David started us off on it in the mid-90’s when we began filming DIG! I immediately fell in love with it and incorporated it in all of my films and music videos etc where I might need a textured, esoteric, ethereal, nostalgic feeling (which is almost always unless I’m making something about the future/tech like WE LIVE IN PUBLIC or THE NEW AMERICANS!) I have, ironically, always described it as “perfectly imperfect” as I order boxes of it and explain why. I believe it captures the magic that exists all around us and makes it perceptible.
When I was shooting MAPPLETHORPE, I knew it would be impossible to capture the script in only 19 shoot days, so to make sure there was peanut butter to hold the sandwich together at the end of the day, I kept a Super 8MM camera on my directors chair and would take the actors out or let them play on the set as Nancy Schreiber and there team were finishing lighting, so I could film them as if they were documenting each other! It added such texture and beauty to the film, as it brought the jungle alive in my series JUNGLETOWN, and brings an important dimension to the two films I am currently making.

i’ve been teaching myself to ride a bike and in the process i realized that i don’t do this often. learning new things gets harder as you age because everything becomes more rigid; but fuck it try something keep with it and learn a new skill.

i went in with no expectations & very little knowledge (ideal). was very pleasantly surprised. smart, stupid, intriguing, and it understands me in and my tastes in an unexpected way. evening mirror so good.

it’s a streaming service that’s free with most library cards. so many art house films that you can access for free, many streaming nowhere else. get a library card, and watch an art house film.
