LOVE- HATE- RESPECT
So much of making a film comes down to the people you are working with; it is not always easy. When a film is your baby people who stand in your way seem evil. It seems they should just work in harmony with you. In reality they do sometimes and sometimes they don’t. It’s a crap shoot.Sometimes you also work with people who are very good at what they do, but drive you crazy.
I guess being a good producer and director is really about using any relationship no matter how hostile to your advantage.
About
Gravity is a non-fiction feature that captures what it feels like to jump off a building, cliff or bridge and walk away alive. It is about the essence of life, of freedom, of what it feels like, for a moment, to defy gravity, and to fly.
In the early eighties Carl Boenish coined the acronym “BASE” (standing for Buildings, Antenna, Span, and Earth, the objects jumped) and invented a sport. Carl was the catalyst behind modern BASE jumping; an electrical engineer and filmmaker who believed that BASE jumping would allow mankind to overcome artificial limitations. He religiously chronicled the early days of BASE in beautiful 16mm film, often with cameras mounted to the jumpers’ heads. He saw BASE as the next amazing thing to film. Subscribe via RSS.
