Sweet Dreams

So turning over another leaf and trying to ignore pondering about life in general, that never ever leads you anywhere and listening to my Angel Maxette, I concentrate on here and now and on what I know best.

We have now shown Nemo to quite a big group of people from different surroundings and with different interests and they all have one thing in common (besides really liking the film) and that is the question, “what is the next one”.  Slowly (because that is how I am constructed!), I start to realise that Nemo could be the start that I have been waiting for most of my life, the start of realising the films that has lodged themselves in the back of my mind and sits there like couch potatoes in their undershirts, bellies hanging out and a beer in hand watching “footy” on the “telly”. Now I have the chance to get them out and get them exercised.

There is no lack of ideas, fortunately I have never had that problem, but it isn’t as simple as having an idea and then finding ways of realising them, I am too much of a realist in life to think that. I do not have an endless budget, currently I have no budget, so I have to make sure that the ideas are being developed into a more generic form but without turning the whole idea into a thesis. I also need to keep in mind a way of realising the film without having a budget like Avatar.

So how do I go about it? How do you develop an idea when you have strict limitations, or maybe the best ideas comes from limitations? Maybe if I think of the whole realisation and creation of the film (as I think of my current state of mind) as a ball of yarn that has been through a cat house (hihihi, that is descriptive not only for the script, I fear)and I need to unravel it into a straight thread. What you do is you try and ease it into a bigger more airy ball and then you pull all the different loops until you find something that could be the start of it. It is not a very nice process, with a risk of not only snapping the thread, using too much frustrated force, but also there is a risk of turning you totally mental with a blood pressure of a stock broker.

But at the end could be a dream coming true, so for me it is definitely worth it, even if I only come half way to the dream , it is such an excellent dream,  a small part of it would be worth it. Because what else is the point with dreams if not realising them?

“So until we meet again and the case is solved!”
