Notes about script, storyline ...

The script is maybe what will be the hardest part to come up with. Right now I'm thinking of doing the whole thing with a voice over, which I think will suit the format of the film well. In that way I can comment on what I'm seeing/filming/showing and thus make a good connection between what I see and what I think. I have always been enjoying to look at details, strange things, things that other people probably don't notice and don't care about, that appear around us, almost everywhere you look. The camera will be my eyes (naturally) ... In this way I can interchange between telling the story as a superficial, what you see is what you get, and the deeper meaning, the symbolic meaning, the clichés ...

It will be difficult to make a complete storybord that will be strictly followed. Partly because I want to film over a long time, going from winter to spring, and how the nature looks, how the weather changes will be part of that. This means that whatever weather will be, will be. Also, the movie is, superficially, about my boat, and what that means to me. What I know about the boat now, is that the boat has been 'sitting' still for 3 years, without any care at all. Last time I tried, 3 years ago, the motor started up, but I do not know if that will happen now... Thus, this will also be a journey into some unknown territory. What happens, happens. Anyways, the boat is only an excuse for me to tell my story, my fears and joys. If this will be a happy movie, a sad movie, depressive or optimistic, I don't know. I really hope it will turn out happy and optimistic though, since I feel like I am an optimistic man, after all. An optimistic realist, that enjoys the moment, and tries to make a good life for myself and my family, with the help of my friends and family :)

I've been doing some filming already, and I think it looks good so far :)
(I've been filming the boat under the tarp, in the snow, and I've been filming the docks, on a really nice sunny, winter day... Today there is about 25-30 inches of snow, all in one night, that makes it hard to get around, but would be nice to film as well ... I'll see what I can do ...
