Folk film seems temporarily stuck in a rut of navel-gazing as of late. I think it’s because of newer filmmakers being inspired by surface elements of others’ work. I mean this all with zero shade, just an observation. Aim higher and be inspired on a deeper level
If it’s gonna be about nothing, at least make it beautiful.
If the conversations are gonna be natural, at least make them meaningful.
Etc.
I’m saying what others are thinking but not saying 🤷♂️

When you watch something and it’s great and feels natural and like it just sort of came together naturally and easily, realize that youre usually just not able to see the strings. Either it was more work than you think, or the artist put more time in to get to that skill level
When i look at @DAN_LOTZ’s Pure Cinema, i see the artistry and craft, as a fellow magician. To the uninitiated he just turned a camera on, talked on a phone. Yall fell for the magic trick. Thats beautiful. But go try and do what he did and see you dont know how the trick was done
