I’m so proud of this film! And can’t wait for the world to see this labor of love. Working with #kitaosakurai was a dream. The stunts by Jon Valera are insane, production designer Kevin Kavanaugh killed it, and Kym Barrett’s costumes are off the hook.
What I’m getting at on this sort of art school, film school tangent is I feel like I’ve had to unlearn convention and I’m constantly reminding myself to strip away the rules and expectations of the way that we should do things or I was taught to do things and now having this toolbox of sort of craft to work from but how can I throw everything I know away and reinvent new ways to do things where it’s almost like a child painting a beautiful Jackson Pollock type finger painting, could be like the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen and you don’t know why. And so I think it’s like the real trick for me is to have the 10,000 hours of experience to have all the time in to understand the craft, but to really consciously try to throw it away and start new so things don’t become tired and they don’t become sort of repetitive in process.
