jfbEvery year during the festival I watch dozens of filmmakers talk about their movies, and I am filled with love for them, and I think about how I would like to work on a movie, or at least to have worked on one, to be what we call "with a film" at a festival like this one. Once in a while, though, you see a director whose film was not what they wanted it to be, and they know it, and you can see that they know it. It's hard to watch. I don't think I could stand to be in that position. Not that I'd be a director, but you know what I mean.
I've read a lot of interviews with people who make music and people who make movies, and sometimes they say things like "If my song comes on the radio I change the station" and "I can't stand to watch the movies once I'm done with them" and sometimes they say things like "Yeah, I'm really proud of the record I made--I love hearing it." I always thought if I made something, I'd be one of those people who says one of those kinds of things.
Now that I have a CD it turns out I'm both of those kinds of people. Sometimes I'll be driving along and one of my songs will come up on my MP3 player and I will think: Yes, this is a really catchy melody! The production is low-budget but interesting! This holds up next to some of my favorite music! And other times I'll hear the same recording and all I can think is Oh my God, this is awful! Who is that singer! I can't believe I let anybody hear this!
So anyway, yeah, I think it would be cool to contribute to a movie someday. But only a good one! Good luck with that.
