This guy is taking a week to return my interview. A WEEK. He's screwing me over. He can't take much longer now. I hope.

I got a couple more ideas about the Supernatural characters. Which I'll come back to when I have time. Now, I'm not actually supposed to have time.

And it's really bad to have to do editing this week. It throws off the routine of just getting assignments done first. But I'm not the only one in my group, so editing it is.

Extract of what I'm writing for a Uni report:

[[ In answer to my fifth question, Kan says, "South East Asian independent films have been on an upward trend for the past 6-7 years." In all honesty, I had no idea. I haven't exposed myself to South East Asian independent films in particular, though I have been watching more Singaporean independent shorts. And the truth is, I am not particularly attracted to "South East Asian independent films". That sounds very niche. It is probably very telling that I still watch a lot of Hollywood shows and what not, as opposed to seeking out South East Asian films to watch.

Kan himself has said, "As an impressionable youth, I was influenced by Hollywood and wanted to make films in a similar vein. It took me quite a while to realize my own heritage and learn not to despise it." ]]

Now, don't you think this is a good interview. I still won't watch South East Asian films. Well, I'm more the Eric K / Kelvin T fan type. And I don't despise my own heritage. I'm just trying to be more interested in it.

[[ I know that I'm interested in both 'drama' and the 'drama of life', i.e. real-life fiction. But if I'm no Jean-Luc Godard just yet, I will wait a little while longer before endeavoring to make films for myself… I still need to keep looking for a good starting job, and good people to work with. If I'm still interested in drama, and not necessarily any community-involved drama so to speak, but perhaps a genre film that excites thought and the senses, I think I should still go after my interest in this. Yes, it may seem typically amateurish to still be enamored by the B-grade type genre film, but there's a kind of honesty in a B-grade movie with lots of horrifying garish and exaggerated drama in it. I don't necessarily want lots of blood to be seen, but a drama that doesn't endeavor to tell lies sounds pretty good to me, just because nowadays we know that media images are not exactly honest. So, so long as it's a film that tells the truth without necessarily becoming a social documentary, I will be very much interested in it. ]]

[[ Therefore, right now I will endeavor to watch a lot of films and write about them if I get the chance to continue working with SNMA (abbreviation just so that ppl won't arrive at my blog from snma.sg ^^), and besides of watching them for the drama, I will keep identifying the themes that make the film resonate with me. Films that portray youth for instance, resonate with me quite. Maybe not so much a young generation that is on drugs and completely 'off the rocker', but a young generation that is sort of lost. And actually, I think that the idea of a lost young generation would attract some amount of interest in SG. Just maybe. ]]
