I was watching thinking ‘this is really pretty and smart, but where’s the humor?’. So, thanks fot the little punchline at the end eventhough it’s rather dark. dark is wicked.

I am glad that film is not my focus…if it was…I would hate you…now it is just simple jealousy. I am amazed at the stuff you have created. I wish i had the equipment, knolwedge, and vision that you have.

I’m in the middle of shooting a 25 minute short film (on Super-16mm film) here in Philly with a bunch of the best students at Temple. The other day we had about a hour to spare between scenes, so a couple of my fellow crew members and I ended up at my apartment, and you’d just posted a videoblog, so I started showing them several of your pieces. They were blow away. They were like, what filmschool is he at (I said highschool.) They are both 10 years older than you — and they both said, oh gosh, forget it. I’m done. This guy is so much better than me…
They were completely impressed in that way that makes you wonder if you should even try, ’cause clearly there are other people out there who are so very talented.
And then we went and shot another 350 feet of film.
SO
Don’t worry about any form of rejection. Just get used to it, used to not having it affect you. Feel it. Feel all kinds of emotions, but don’t do a thing about them.
Build up that sense of self, and knowlege of your own mission. You are doing great stuff. Just keep doing it — for yourself.
SVA will be full of jealousy, weird bullshit, competition, lying… just move through it all like it doesn’t affect you. Move through the 15 minutes of fame, the acclaim, the praise, the worship just the same, like it doesn’t affect you at all. That’s how you will make it, how you will honor yourself and your voice and your life’s work.
