You kill your dream several times, mostly by talking about it
In is truth of any creative endeavour that once the though has occurred the dream fades. You kill it mostly by talking about it, writing it down…
The opening scene in director Rob Marshall’s Nine (2009) is a thinly disguised homage to italian film director Federico Fellini on the creative process and guess a truth for all film makers. It’s a miracle if a dream survives the process of becoming real.
“You kill your film several times
Mostly by talking about it
A film is a dream
You kill it writing it down
You kill it with a camera
Your film might come to live for a moment or two
When your actors breath live back into it
But then it dies again
Buried in film cans
Mysteriously sometimes in the editing room
A miracle happens when you place one image next to another
So that when finally an audience seats in the dark
