Another break, another take, another day, another way
So what to say after a month away? Life is still going, always changing, regardless of my desire otherwise, and I'm knee deep in editing a very long, if not rewarding (it is) documentary. ~22 hours of footage= 14 minutes of screen time. Ahh the power of editing. I'm trying to make the environment less sterile, and have brought some action figures and plan to bring some wall hangings, candles, etc. Whatever I can do to make the space liveable. They painted the walls 18% grey, because it is supposed to be better for our eyes. Jess brought in an espresso machine and set it up next to our computers, which is just brilliant honestly.
Unlikely friendships have forged, and it reminds me that although I have lost a few friends and mentors, I will always gain new ones. I'm living in a good place next year, and I think it will make me feel more comfortable about some things, and hopefully will get my feng shui where it needs to be.
I really want to start doing some projects outside of the film school. One of my favorite teachers went on indefinite sabatical, which means she more than likely won't be coming back. Whenever I see Stuart, it breaks my heart a little bit to realize that my best memories of film school, for the most part, are over. Maybe, just maybe, I will be able to be my own person all on my own, away from the film school, away from the bullshit. I'll see it through, but I won't go down silently.
