Time moves like a dark freight train in the night. Birthday passed beginning of November. Then two weeks in Amsterdam. Corporate film shoot, Aviation Authority, planes, offices, interviews. Renovating my writing space/library, painting walls, archiving, dumping unnecessary stuff. Kilos of newspaper, mags. Getting lean. Ayahuasca private moment with Mano a colleague and the travelling Hilario […]
I read about this young potential candidate for the first time back in January 2007 on my way to the Rotterdam Film Festival. There was a newspaper lying around on the train and one page was dedicated to the race lying a year ahead and the possible runners. Besides the usual suspects with the same […]
We’ve been absent from the weblogs for a while. As mentioned before, I’m writing mostly longhand and working on new fiction material, so staying away from the computer as much as I can, except for the essential business. Some turbulent times, monetary systems imploding, recession, depression, if you have to believe the newspaper headlines we’re […]
No time again to write my weblog entries for the last 3 weeks. Have been filling up parts of the small Moleskin pockets I carry with me while on the move. I try to avoid the computer unless it’s necessary for business. Lots going on now, with the North American release of The Mindscape of […]
Olympic Games have finished. Didn’t have time to watch any of it, although some of the opening ceremony visuals directed by Zhang Yimou were impressive. $ 150 million US balls for that though, while a large majority still lives in poverty. Michael Phelps with 8 gold medals after ploughing through lots of water and equally […]
Back in Legoland A longer than usual update after a few weeks of absence on this weblog. That happens when you’re on the move and caught in the tropical rhythm of non-stop moving, hypnotized by the sound and the fury of Paramaribo by day and night with intermittently wild space and forest and urban development […]
Free Ride Mountain Biking Most of the last two weeks I’ve spent in the field, filming in the port of Paramaribo, irregular schedule of ships coming and going, super stackers and forklifts racing past us, containers swinging dangerously close which brought flashbacks of Road Runner and Coyote cartoons of heavy loads flattening characters like post […]
Greetings from Paramaribo Been ridiculously busy on the move, so didn’t have the time to update the blog for weeks. Thanks for your complaints and queries, I wasn’t aware my digital ramblings would be missed. Not only was I sapped by the creative writing and business going on, but I also felt bored with computers […]
Mindscape Reaching Critical Mass Friends, brethren and sisters, hope all is well. Them Shadowsnake Crazy Commando Missions continue… For those interested, a quick update from the Shadowsnake frontlines of guerila filmmaking and some dates of things that might be happening near you: UK RELEASE * 28 April was the official UK release of The Mindscape […]
Still Riding the Hurricane Crazy Urban Commando Missions. Haven’t even had time to update this web log in 3 weeks since I came back from Suriname (with plenty footage and stills). Very intense time in London and Amsterdam now, manoeuvring between 5 different projects, one of them a challenging commercial. Had a meeting in The […]
