my favorite episode of girl walk.
The always talented Andrew Palermo is shooting my second feature next month. We’re filming on the RED Epic with Lomo Anamorphic lenses. It will look something like this video.
Did I mention that Lindsay Burdge is starring? And did I also mention that she has requested to be paid in ice cream?
Come April, I will be (once again) living in Greenpoint and feasting on donuts all day every day.

“If writing is gender-neutral,” she asks, “why do I read so many screenplays by women that are character pieces and so many by men where there’s an explosion on the first page?
“What nobody in Hollywood is allowed to say out loud,” she adds, “is that the subject matter that interests many women isn’t going to sell tickets to a mainstream audience. How many women want to direct ‘Fast Five?’ How many women want to direct ‘Captain America?’ ”

…the imagination being like a barrel organ that does not work properly and always plays a different tune from the one it should.

Film & Video: Jean-Luc Godard - Schick Commerical (1971)
Duration: 60 seconds
Godard & Gorin, according to the profitable contract signed with the publicity agency Dupuy Compton, from which they had a salary, were forced to propose one project per month and deliver at least one advertisement film per year. For Schick, they got the budget to pay the hole crew for a week, even though the shooting only took half a working day.
Schick was owned by ultra-Conservative, capitalist extraordinaire Patrick Frawley. Does this matter, that Godard made a commercial to help sell products for a company whose profits supported political causes antithetical to his own? We are all complicit in these hypocrisies, small and large, as we use and consume objects each day whose sources in the global matrix are often obscure. If Godard made the commercial to help fund his more radical projects (perhaps Tout va bien, the following year?) then do the two projects cancel each other out? Is there some sort of ledger to keep track? Is it okay to denounce the enemy, and then collaborate with the enemy, as long as you can come up with some sort of intellectual rationalization for your actions? — Nicholas Rombes
