It's not that I haven't been thinking about this project enough, but that I've been OVERthinking it. I'm an extremely indecisive person, especially when it comes to film, and it's hard for me to just settle on an idea as soon as it comes to me. I like to weigh out my options, make lists of pros and cons and map out everything to make sure it would all work out and run smoothly; I want everything to be perfect. But this project has taught me that in life there are set deadlines and going back and forth in your head about simple details can waste a lot of time so I have decided that by tonight I shall chose a single idea and stick with it! I already know what stylistic elements I would like it to have, certain actors that are available etc, but I just feel like I need a simple plot that I can build off of. Ugh.

**Because I'm so down in the dumps I've been looking towards some of my film heroes for inspiration. Some of my first couple of heroes have been the leaders of the French New Wave (or La Nouvelle Vague); a wave of cinema that broke film conventions and forever changed how I look at film making. Auteurs, such as Jean-Luc Godard, had beautiful philosophies about just getting out there and making things that they wanted to see. These crazy cats literally just got out there and started filming, even getting kicked out of some places because they didn't have permission(which isn't something I'm planning on doing, don't worry), but the passion that they had to even break the rules is so inspiring. I gotta get in that daRn mood of just getting things done and getting on out there and doing what I set out to do!!
stay tuned and stay cool, kmp
