The Untimely Meditation of David
Finally getting to make my first film - and wishing to make something that was as sacred as how I felt about movies. After kind of diving out of film school (I got out of there as quickly as I could, no fault of theirs), and after doing some production work for an old classmate (artists needing to make something of their own is such a common thing, we’re so needy) that gave me enough cash for actors and some setpieces, I wrote something a little odd - David, directing his own film about what it meant to be an underdog. High concept is an understatement - I think it escalates to the point that even me watching it feels like the concept of rationality has been beaten down. I’m left with something odd. There’s a few things I’d fix, like getting subs on The Appirition’s standup routine at the beginning, but this is probably as far as I’ve gotten in making a film, and directing actors. My little slice of weird and pretty, The Untimely Meditation of David.
