Metaphor in Context
Working with sound and my imagination, I envisage the angles and cuts, making the only substantial films I can manage these days, mind movies. I brood constantly about hte business of being an artist. I've managed several five-minute films recently, and they're not bad, freer than a lot of stuff I did before, when I was nervous and there was money involved. I'll show them to my good pal Anita, next time she's round. She knows how to be both encouraging and damning.
