For as long as I can remember, it's been his obsession. He got a video camera for his eighth birthday and would literally film everything with it. Even the most mundane things. He would have us do interviews for the camera. Make little movies for himself. I thought it was cute at first. I really did. I would always help him with whatever little project he was doing this time.
As time went on though, something started to change. I can't really say what made him the way he was, but he became increasingly arrogant and increasingly difficult. Our parents definitely spoiled him. Spent a small fortune making sure he got the education he needed to pursue his dreams of becoming a director. paid for any of the expensive equipment he needed for making and editing his own little movies. helped pay the salaries of any crew or actors he hired for the little short films he produced. Maybe it was that which made him become so arrogant and mean spirited. But increasingly he became that worse kind of cliche. The artist obsessed with their vision. And treating everyone in their lives like crap.
The self centered, petulant child in an adult's body. I'd like to say that I called him out on any of this. But the sad fact is that I went right along with him on it. It started in his teens. Verbal abuse and the occasional slap any time I didn't do something right or quickly enough for his liking. I should have stood up to him, told him to get lost. But I found myself totally under his thumb. Unable to say no. Or simply get him out of my life. To be honest. Looking back, I can see just how unhealthy the whole thing was. Now before you go getting the wrong idea. There was never anything incestuous here. My brother was just a bully. A little tyrant who enjoyed bossing people around. And I basically became his personal servant.
He would belittle me in everything I thought, said, or tried to do. Anytime I tried to build myself up. He'd tear me down. And make me feel like I couldn't accomplish anything on my own. Couldn't even survive out there without him. I should have known better, I suppose. But it had started from when we were so young that honestly a part of me came to genuinely believe the things he said. A part of me was too scared of trying to make it out there in the big wide world by myself. That I put up with my brother's constant bullying and taunting and increasingly shrill, angry demands. Because I was scared of being alone. Being cut off from the only family I had left. Our parents had passed away by this point. And we had no contact with the rest of the family.
Without my brother? I'd be all by myself. His overbearing presence in my life had prevented me from making any real friends. And the thought of trying to build a life for myself? By myself was one that just terrified me. So I did as I was told.
What is the legend of “Better Films” and why does it frighten industry insiders?
He would say, Joan, get me a coffee. And I'd drive all the way across town to the one Starbucks he liked to get him coffee. He'd say he needed extras. and I'd devote weeks of my life to arranging and carrying out interviews. He'd demand some expensive piece of equipment. And I'd spend however much it cost to get it. That was my life now. My brother's PA slash maid. The subject of my brother's short films and mini documentaries had become increasingly dark and surreal over the years.
