a quote from Roy Andersson

I read this quote in the paper yesterday.  Roy Andersson is a Swedish film maker, whos work I have yet to see, but sounds cool and stylistic.  DIFFICULT DEATH has elements like that, deliberate and contrived almost cartoonish elements...

"So overnight - I know exactly when it was, in 1985 when I was preparing a commercial, I understood that the only way to get the language of cinematography more rich is to leave naturalism and go over to abstraction. When I was young, I was very fond of naturalism and realism, but later I could really see the wisdom in more abstract painting, like the Expressionists and the Symbolists. I'm so fond of two painters in Germany between the two world wars. One of them is my absolute favorite, Otto Dix, and the other is George Grosz."

Paris Fashion Week INSPIRATIONS




here are some cool pics I found in the New York Times coverage of Paris Fashion week.  I find these very exciting + am hoping to have some costuming like this in the film.

the first one

Difficult Death is an upcoming feature film being produced in New Orleans in 2010.  The film will be made on locations all over the city and features and ensemble cast of local performers from all walks of life.  This blog is dedicated to found images that are related to my project and eventually will feature commentary and updates from our production!
