gathering influence

starting fresh, opening new opportunities and gathering influence for ideas, its an exciting place to be. The importance is to scuplt a wide base from which to launch a study. The idea is present, the vision will sculpt itself, but the interest needs to be fed and kept alive.

Below are afew things that have recently caught my eye,

Ex Drummer

For those with a hardened stomach and the patience for subtitles this gritty film is a must see. Its chaotic, filthy and sometimes brutal portrayal of the world left me feeling alittle unclean. It touches on themes of misogyny, manipulation, poverty, death, homophobia, suicide, drug addiction, homosexuality, thuggery and rape. Aside from its dark aspects the film is aesthetically pleasing and holds an interesting stance on narrative.
