I love film.

I'm obsessed with film.

And so I think maybe I'm taking my time because I do have so much reverence for

I think about, my immediate thought goes to the film Teorama by Pasolini.

Which one?

The film Teorama by Pasolini.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think I enjoy scripts, I think, that have a lot of suggestion where more is kind of inferred than directly said.

God, that's interesting.

Yeah.

And, but then on the other side of things, I love, you know, the director, Sean Baker, for example, where it feels like a documentary, something really kind of naturalistic about it.

So I think either things that don't feel like they've been scripted at all, or more kind of surreal, fragmented, kind of, you know, Orphée by Jean Cocteau, that kind of world, I really connect to.

Exactly.

It's very much about the spaces in between.

And maybe I think that's the real key when it comes to script writing.

The fact that, you know, as humans, I feel like we're often like holding back what it is that we really feel.

you know, we're lying, we're not telling the truth.

So there is something about, it's a skill in itself, I think, to maintain the spaces in between and really tell a story and develop characters.

Yeah.
