Nick Eddy, documentarian

I asked the Bride recently whether she thought I had the acuity to learn iMovie.  Her look of incredulous disdain left me bedridden.

No matter!  I need to take the iPad around and make a documentary film about people's first experiences/life-changing moments/impressions of/thoughts on the 1987 New Order single "True Faith"/"1963."

I could ask school kids, prisoners, celebrities, people in nursing homes - just everybody.

Or just go guerrilla, kicking open random suburban screen doors and interrupting re-watchings of The Big Bang Theory and forcing stunned residents to listen to both sides and then tell me why they ever bothered to go to church in the first place!  Filming the results.

Anyway, first a little movie then a whole channel of this, just people talking/discussing/reflecting on this single twenty-four hours a day.

No, two channels.

Director found for my Gene Tenace dream project

Watched The Brown Bunny on Friday night, and it was every bit as horrible as one would expect. Even the "famous scene" was stultifying and pointless. Needless to say, loved it, if that makes sense. The super-Warholian "let's make sure we show every second of him getting his motorcycle out of his van, 'cos otherwise the audience won't believe he really got it out..." school of film making!

Anyway, old Vince has shown me with this that he is worthy of taking on my Gene Tenace project mentioned last week. Either him or a stranger I meet on the street who's never seen a movie before would do equally well.
