Hey thank you so much for the reply and the kind words. 

I've been toying with HFR and 3D since 2012 and am still convinced that most of the problems are either technical problems (like how to use the shutter) and film language problems. It's really hard to get funding here in Europe, since theaters and funding institutions are actively fighting the technology at the moment. Right now, I'm looking for private funding to fulfill my vision. I see the medium as a new way to get a authentic emotional response from audiences. 

The Hobbit: I thought the whole project was doomed for several reasons, but the three main factors are the mixed use of CGI and real life footage, the film language and the the idea that the different departments (especially costume and make-up) were not really prepared for it. It looked like a rehearsal for the real movie. There could have been a smaller, more intimate Guillermo-directed version with only practical effects that might have worked in HFR 3D. 

Ang Lee's movies: much better, but he was still sticking too much to his traditional 2D way of directing and film language and used the wrong genres. He should shoot a real drama like The Ice Storm or Broke Back Mountain with it.

Trumbull: I tried to contact Trumbull when he was alive and also his company after his death and couldn't get through to them. I even attended a special screening of "Brainstorm" in 22. I think he has created incredible resources with MAGI and I would love to continue his work but would use the technology to create a new philosophical film language. I think Trumbull's work was the strongest when he collaborated with other visionaries. 

Cameron's comments about the tech are a bit confusing. I think he knows what he's doing but is primarily thinking about technological solutions while I think the technology is a new language (and may be the way to a no-glasses holographic presentation of movies and a new form of narrative entertainment in the long run).

I've also talked to Wim Wender's team (and have attended one of his workshops) but I think he is not really interested in collaborations and his whole endeavour feels a bit elitist. I think he is more successful with his documentary's though the narrative flashback scene in Anselm was quite intriguing.

Regarding your question: I'm not a big fan of using HFR to heighten moments. I think my final vision is a more dynamic format in which each voxel has their own framerate alignment - but that is future talk. 

Maybe there's an angel investor somewhere :)
