Beyond the Frame

The best advice I ever got from a teacher was to keep a journal.  He rhetorically asked how do you know what you really want to write about unless you are writing?  A journal gives you a chance to explore your thoughts and feelings freely before committing to the structure of the scripted narrative.  Reading older entries also lets you know what’s really important in your life.  And that is what you should be making your films about.

Thank you, Dan Conway.  Your advice resonantes through me every time I write.
