A year ago we shot Baby on Board. A year! Where does time go? The older I get, the more it seems to just evaporate. The film is doing alright on the festival circuit; still got a few more pending before the year is out. Think I might put it on YouTube on Christmas Eve.
How do I feel about the film a year on? Okay, I think. I reckon it’s solid enough - it looks good, great performances, good script, but I don’t feel particularly connected to it. It was good for me to direct Volk’s screenplay - and I was honoured to do so - but I don’t think I want to direct someone else’s script again. I want to tell my own stories. I had to do someone else’s story to find that out. I’m glad I did, but it’s my own ideas that really excite me. Films are so hard to make, why make someone else’s dreams and visions?*
*Listen to that ego talk!
