I'd been home less than 48 hours
when it was time to shove off again--literally this time, stowing away for a two-night sail on Vive. Captain Deuel picked me up directly from my first jam in months and first with full house (minus Rich) since March 2020. Though I left earlier than expected, the half sesh was catharsis enough, a banshee wail of paranoid retreat and comic nihilism. My creative life has been on hold and I was eager to sing, play music... and make the most of the boat trip by making a movie! My approach to filmmaking is to allow interesting locations to set the terms of the story, so I concocted a gothic maritime yarn to take advantage of my time aboard Tom's deluxe 41' sailboat-- like Knife in the Water crossed with Twilight Zone. A tale small enough to fit in a dinghy, easy to shoot, but both of us were kind of pooped and it quickly started to feel like work so I shelved it for now, but did get some B roll, a hint of which I mashed up. |
