"I can never read reviews of my own movies. I'm terrified to find out what the barbaric world thinks of my trembly filmic dreams and, by extension, my overly frangible soul."

Guy Maddin, Very Lush and Full of Ostriches, The Village Voice (New York), Aug 7, 2001.

You always hope that your films will get somewhere, that they'll affect someone, that people will respond. And as nice as it would be to work in isolation, to create in isolation, it's impossible. Films needs an audience. I don't know if that's always a good thing.

Film News

"Last month, Cuban artist Salvador Gonzalez, subject of a documentary by Bette Wanderman, was denied an entry visa into the U.S. for the October 11 premiere of the film about his life. The State Department, under the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act, requires applicants from seven countries, including Cuba, to undergo extra background checks, because they're named as "state sponsors of terrorism.""

I've quoted this from an article. Read the rest of it here.

Other news:

It's always scary subjecting yourself to the rawest form of your work everyday, watching the mistakes over and over, and then trying to brush over them carefully, pretending they didn't happen. Always a little humbling. Even more humblng is the fact that you rarely make these cover-ups alone, artfully masking cinematic flaws. You need, as I do, someone more skilled to guide you in the process.

...an editor.

In the end, you try not to disappoint your actors, you try and give them what they expected... or even more. You hope that they watch the film and think it's good, that it was worth working on, it was worth going through the rehearsals, it was worth their time. In the end, that's the foremost thought going through your mind. When all's said and done.
