Talk about a year of change. Ok, maybe I don't mean politically, but for me as a filmmaker (if I can even call myself after not having made my own film in... about 2 years...), I ventured into corners of film that I never really thought I had the cojones to explore before. This is somewhat of an experimental film, I guess you could say, although not necessarily experimental in the sense that most people think. It's more so a portrait or collage of a world left to the elements. Wow, that took me about half an hour to think of how to explain my feeling about the film. I'm open to any and all other interpretations as well, as I think and hope it will evoke many different feelings in different people. The accompanying poem initially had no particular significance to me other than the fact that it fit the film at the time. The overall feeling I get from it is a sort of a simultaneous connection and disconnection with nature, which is exactly how I feel about the film. Anyway, I'll stop rambling like a hippie and let you take a trip inside your mind!
This is my very first documentary, and certainly not my last! I thought I was lost here at film school for a little while, but it turns out there's more to life than narrative film! Documentaries are a ridiculous amount of work -- mostly in the editing as I happened to find out! But they're also incredibly addicting. Real life is addicting.
A Fairy Tale is about a husband and wife -- Ken and Cathy Papuzenski -- who collect Tinker Bell and Mickey Mouse memorabilia respectively. I hope you enjoy!
