Addicted to filmmaking
I've realized through time that Filmmaking is my addiction... just like a person is addicted to smoking cigarrettes or using painkillers because it gives them "comfort"... that's how making films is to me... when I feel lost, hopeless, useless... I return to filmmaking as that is my addiction and it gives me comfort...
Creating short animations is a quick fix but just doesn't do it.....
As I experienced when I finished We Are The Strange and Heart String Marionette I sort fell into a hole once they were done... I had no comfort because my addiction was not being indulged... So I've realized to stay healthy I need to constantly make films... I'm going to complete the new film by Xmas 2013 and then I plan to release a new one every other year...
So just like a dope fiend ignores all other responsibilities and runs off and hides in a hole so they can puff that rock... when I get a new idea for a film that hits me hard... Its like I found the dope... so then I'm going to run off and grind on that film till its done...
I like to call myself "the worst business person in the world" because of this film fiend nature that I have- so I should probably apologize to all the people I've flaked on for things outside my own films but what can I say? I'm M dot Strange filmmaking fiend?!
Back in the hole- on the grind to make a new film
