Still editing, but here's a teaser for my new film "Fucking perfect". The film is shot as a documentary style and is about eating disorders amongst teenage boys. It's also connected with the anti-bullying campaign I had a few months ago. This is for my uni project "Personal Narrative".
Like it says in the trailer, the full film released on 25.05.11 on my Vimeo channel. Gonna tell you more about the film, the process behind it and where I got my inspiration from, so tune in the 25th of May.

MILK ANYONE?
Got a 57% on my essay, which is the equivalent of 4+/C+, so I'm pleased with that. Gonna try to improve of course and aim higher. I want at least 5/B :D
I love The Script, another great song is The Man Who Can't Be Moved

I just saw Milk, a great movie about the true life and passion of Harvey Milk's fight for gay rights in the USA in the 1970's. They way some people treated them (and some still do today) is apoling! It's not about sexual orientation, ethnicity or believes, it's about basic human right for all humans. Harvey and the mayor of San
Fransisco was murded in cold blood cause some people wouldn't not accept was they stood for.
Storyline: Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces Harvey Milk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for San Francisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to bar gays and their supporters from public school jobs. Source: IMDB.com
Milk is a film I highly recommend both because of the contents and because of the cinematography of the film. The film is made up of old footage from the 1970's mixed with today's techniques. Throughout the whole film Harvey Milk is a narrator and is recording his "biography" on tape in case he's assassinated. The director, Gus Van Sant, has an amazing way of traveling through time. Even though we're following the characters for several years, it's still flows nicely. Some amazing shots and great acting, especially from Jean Penn (Harvey Milk) and from James Franco (Scott Smith).
Rent it, buy it, borrow it or whatever, but this is a great film :D (£3,98 at Amazon.co.uk)

END OF BANK HOLIDAY
Got up today and wrote 800 out of 1000 words on my essay, laid outside in my hammock and went to the gym (danceclass and full body workout) :D Great day, a bit windy though. Like I said on Facebook this morning, hope the nice weather stays like this until the 20th of May (deadline for my film). After that, just relaxation, finish my secret private projects and put the finishing touches on my visual diary. Also expect it to be some fitness, beach, friends, filming, mind mapping and pictures for the rest of the time until 15-20th of June ish. It's not long at all before the summer holiday, 6 weeks, omg, this year has gone so fast!
Live the life you love, so you can love the life you live.
Have a great night peeps :D

INSPIRATION #3
Don't think I've posted this video before, it's really good. Posts with the title inspiration is works/products that inspire me.
About: A documentary about a journey to "The Edge of the Earth". The Gates of the Arctic National Park is the northernmost national park in the U.S. (the entirety of the park lies north of the Arctic Circle).There are no established roads, trails, visitor facilities, or campgrounds in the park.
Following the Alatna River you will see an amazing place people rarely see, including the amazing Arrigetch Peaks.
This documentary has some amazing shots, both the technical aspect and on the contents. I wish to do something similar when I hope to go through Europe.
Today I've been getting to know my Ricoh KR-10 super camera, so much fun. Went down to Pounland of all places and bought 3 x Kodak 200 film to try out. I've never used a 35 mm film based SLR (speilrefleks) for a longer period of time. It's the same principal as a DSLR, but you have to think it more through. It's a really good exercise getting used to the fact that you only have 24 pictures on one roll and you're out. The pictures feel more "alive" and I don't know, I just love it. I'm gonna try to process the film within the week and post'em here :D
