The Birth of a Documentary →
For Dinesh Sabu, documentary is a “safe, mediated” way to process trauma and to “develop a language to understand it”.

saracrow:
At one point there was a Bomb the Music Industry documentary in the works. Is that still happening?
Yeah, that’s still happening. I like music documentaries a lot and all the ones that I think are really interesting take place over a long period of time. And Sara Crow (the director) felt the same way. So I think that’s where we’re at—if the documentary came out today, there...

realh0rrorshowlike asked: about the object in the shining-- i am a huge fan of the movie, and i've seen a few documentaries that talk about the object. no one knows for sure what it is, but while some have theorized that it is some sort of intentional subliminal-meaning object, the usual answer is that, as you said, it was something that functioned to make the blood flow work properly.
sp00ky3teen asked: Have you noticed the object falling out of the elevator in the elevator of blood seen in "The Shining"?
Check my blog. It lends the scene a new, more terrifying aspect. Tell me what you see?

I’m in the process of trying to queue up some film responses and plug a very talented friend, but I have nothing to write about in the meantime. If you’ve got any film-related suggestions, moviemaking stories to tell, aspirations or dreams, even personal introductions (or personal questions), I want ‘em!
elaborateheists asked: Your post about the 48HFP screening basically described how I felt about our screening last year. I was pretty unhappy with the film we made. (Also my team was the youngest and I was the only female team leader as well!) But knowing the mistakes we made the previous year was really helpful going into this year's competition. So I'm sure you realize this, but I just wanted to say that...

We definitely didn’t win anything last night, but I am very proud to have worked with such a hard-working cinematographer. If any of you live in Chicago and are looking for an ambitious and talented DP to work with, look up this guy.
The cons of last night: - Our audio was too quiet and our image was too dark - We were competing against some very seasoned and well-equipped professionals who...

Screening at the Logan Theater in a few hours, followed by a Q&A session with all the filmmakers shown tonight. Feeling kinda queasy, but confident in my DP/Editor’s talent.
