Happy Birthday to Philip Glass! His memoir "Words Without Music" includes one of the best pieces of creative advice I've ever read:

“If you don’t know what to do, there’s actually a chance of doing something new. As long as you know what you’re doing, nothing much of interest is going to happen.”

3 things about Yasujirô Ozu’s TOKYO STORY [1953]

1. There are only two camera movements in the entire film.

2. The young people are always telling them they must be tired; they aren’t, but nevertheless agree out of politeness.

“I won’t get that old, so don’t worry.”

A word from David Lynch.

RIP David Lynch. Though I knew this day would come, I'm still very sad. I can't calculate the effect that seeing the very first episode of Twin Peaks had on me when I was only 14, except that it quite literally altered the course of my life. It opened up completely new worlds to me, completely fresh ways of seeing and experiencing life.

It was the thrill of my life when Barry shared my film with "Dave" and the word came back that he loved it.

As long as human beings are still watching cinema, his films will be there to inspire, perplex, and thrill.

RIP David Lynch. Gutted. I can't calculate the effect that seeing the very first episode of TWIN PEAKS had on me when I was only 14, except that it quite literally altered the course of my life. It eventually led me to the work of Barry Gifford, which in turn led me towards making ROY'S WORLD.
