Snow, and more snow ...

It has not been much progress with either the filming or anything else lately. It has been snowing almost every day, which is nice for the kids, and for people that like to go cross country, but not very good for doing stuff with the boat. The good news is that it is not -4F anymore, which has been the case lately. Now the days are getting longer, clearly, and it is around 32F and sunny. Very nice! I found it a bit hard to write down my "secrets from my past" since it involves a lot of grief, sorrow, and supressed feelings. Oh, well, I think making this movie will be a nice way to let it all out, even so, I still think I will be hiding behind the format and nature of film making, namely that it is something which is perfect for fabricating stories, which in turn can turn out to be true, or not. In other words, film making has a history of telling lies. It is perfect for that. And even though I will tell a true story, the viewer will not know if it actually is true or not. I think that is a powerful aspect of making films. It is a tension that can be taken advantage of in many ways. There will also always be a rather strong filter between the film maker and the viewer. Any viewer will also read the movie differently, and none might actually read the movie as it was intended from the maker. This is again something that just needs to be taken to account, and might even be amplified deliberately, or not ... Ambiguity is one way to work with that. Repetition another.
