The Milford Track was amazing because of the three friends I traveled with: Jorge, Lisa and Rob -- but that is only a small part of what this film was all about. In this edition I tried to frame my last two weeks in New Zealand as quiet but confused bliss. Of late I'd say I've been working through some existential angst but the fact that this project came out nostalgic and sentimental shows that despite all I'm doing great. I'll be the first to admit that this theme is subtle but in my defense this is only the fourth film I've ever made.
The autobiographical films have two purposes: 1) give me an outlet for learning film and 2) tell my autobiography. In future films I've decided to work on the following:
1) Conveying a complete, unconfused idea/concept
2) Offering more universal entertainment appeal
3) Including relevant dialogue
4) Including more local flavor
This is a learning process, thanks for watching.
