Creation is a beautiful thing. I love being a creator. I know why God has such an ego now and demands the worship of his minions… just kidding, I don’t deserve worship from anyone; nor do I desire it.
Filming is a slow process this time around. In the past, Evil Wine has gone through a brief pre-production and then immediately into production; a poorly planned and purely ad-libbed production… and they are always mediocre representations of a potentially high quality and quite humorous, absurdest tale.
In the occasion of NAUSEA things are quite different. We have been in production now for nearly a week and have wrapped in completion on two scenes (of 202) and nearly completed a third. We have grown accustomed to analyzing the depth of the scene, observing the immediacy of the situations, and pushing through to a higher quality of guerilla cinema. Of course, everyone thinks they do this.. but do they? Do you really? I hope so. I used to think I did. That is, until I actually did it.
Thank the balls of Mark Twain that Dustin is on set… what would Evil Wine be without that distorted human being’s existence? He is quite the photographer as well. The shots look the way they should look. The humorous thing about the look of the film, well at least humorous to me, is that it embraces it’s video. The images are well lit, well executed, amazingly framed, but it LOOKS LIKE VIDEO. It does not try to look like film or appear as some art fag imagery, it appears as what it is. A pristine and elegant version of what could potentially be the gayest looking thing ever.
And now we can discuss the evolution of humor… a scene which is written with no jokes, centering around a character who is fundamentally disturbed and “evil” has been made into a character who, I dare say, is cuddly, warm, sympathetic, and tragic. All a scene needs to do this is for the filmmakers to observe the absurdity of the character’s existence, embrace it, and allow it to be exactly what it wants to be.
I am at a point in my “artistic” career, where for the first time in all of my productions, I actually feel like I am making something that I can be proud of. I feel as this production is the landmark in my life both personally and artistically. It has paved the way, already for me to allow myself to be myself. To know that we are all human including me and that the only thing worth doing to a life is bending it over and sticking my hard dick as far up the asshole as possible and ejaculating all over the sphincter… if I don’t do that, how can I ever be happy.
