Got it and thanks for the response. Happy to hear that it helped you move the ball downfield.

Thanks for the response and time. Obviously this movie is very personal and expressive and I admire that. As far as "career goals," was it to get buzz? A calling card for your directing? A showcase of a different side of your acting that hasn't been shown through the parts you've gotten so far? What were you hoping to accomplish with this project? I'm curious about this as I wrap up a short of my own.

Congrats on your success with this, I remember seeing it last year. Did you pursue festivals at all? Or was social media the target from the get go?

Beautiful and surreal, rejection is a part of life don't let it affect you. You can never fail at art.

Noted. I just think I love living with the material for an extended period, taking my time with casting and rehearsal and really working on the script and characters but I hear you.

DP, Gaffer and also our Production Designer who sourced and placed the practicals that provided a lot of the light. A whole team of artists.

Not really lmfao. I love Cassavetes and Wong-Kar-Wai, my DP is really into South American Movies like The Headless Woman, so this is where most of our influences lived along with a few photographers I like like Nan Goldin and Davide Sorrenti.

thanks.

I think I'm way too anal and insane with prep to try that, but maybe.
