Brick-Ben Folds Five

I am somewhat inspired by Ben Folds Five's Brick, a song I listened to on the radio in high school and finally found out its name and title today while meeting up with my composer, Adrian. Adrian is charging me $200. I though I could get it done for free. $25/hr that's like 8 hours of work. It's basically the money I made at UTS. It got to be good. Glebe is a nice town.

Anyway, while I was listening to "Brick," I got some footage and images on my head and though I could do a short film about abortion.

While I was with Adrian, I couldn't but think that I would compose my own music if I work hard at it. Adrian has a BA music degree from Sydney Uni did a course and is currently doing AFTRS' grad dip in composing.

In a way, I am quite flexible. I think eventually, I can teach, direct, compose song and music, be a DOP, editor, do aftereffect and do my lights. But you actually can't do everything at once in a production. A lot of it is communication.

Finished with Ayumi's 'Thanks' short film today. Bernie and I had a stupid fit about gaffer tape. It was totally stupid.

I thought about starting an annual "Asian Australian Film Festival" or even a bi-annual one. No, annual. I think there isn't one. I am sure people, or at least the Asians want one and get support from SBS, Asian businesses and associations. All it needs is money, venue, volunteers and judges. I am pretty sure I can get some government money.

Met with Queenie yesterday who became my assistant editor. She's a freshman, or 1st year and young people have this idealism and innocent. It's so wonderful. She makes me young. She is going to work on the titles and maybe end titles, as well as syncing.
