6.5 weeks and counting.

11 weeks is not enough time for someone to find themselves as a director. There is no time to breathe in the material. There is no time to let the casting options soak into you and the script. There's no time to find that perfect location. Nor is there time to have that perfect edit. And don't even think about sound design.

I've heard this a lot from friends who have been through what I am going through now and it never made enough sense to me until now. I feel what they've gone through. The only way I can describe it, in to more human terms, is it's a lot like going wine tasting, well the theory of it, you see I've never been, but regardless of that you get just a small taste on your tongue and then you have to spit it out and try a different one. How is that in anyway enjoyable? How is doing everything you can for your film just to the point where your ok with it and then moving on to the next thing make sense? I want my film to breathe, and I want it to take as long as it needs to. But I can't. It's like a good wine, open it too soon and drink it too fast it'll still be good but if you had just given it that little extra time in the bottle and if you had just let it breathe the right way when it came out of the bottle it wouldn't be so easily forgotten and it wouldn't be just a bottle of wine. It would be the best red wine you've ever had. And. You would go back for more.
