Jammy Yoon Blog March 3rdIt's been a rough couple of weeks. The writing has come a lot slower, again because of 'real life stress.' I've been doing some research on an element of filmmaking that is new to me: funding. The topics are of interest now, maybe more out of necessity. Interesting how it comes in line with the lessons ofpracticality and balance. Been thinking about mission statements, vision statements, and the like. I think that having these things in mind have been helpful in a subtle way on my creative energies, simply because it sets things down on paper for the eye to see. Organized goals are slowly starting to unravel from the mess of what my scatterbrain has become since graduation. For one, I've decided to focus on a trilogy of work. The stuff will include screenplays obviously, and I haven't decided on the guerilla aspects if it were to go to that step (independently). I figure just like Robert Rodriguez this could be a good plan in focusing on becoming a better filmmaker while simultaneouslykeeping my name in the tiny atmosphere of guerilla film. I think using the actual scripts as calling cards would also be a good thing to take care of. Jammy Yoon talks about his storytelling Emotionally, my life has given me ripe stuff for the current piece that I'm still writing. In that sense, it's also been slow, because of this newfound experiment in heart-based storytelling, where I'm baring as much as I can of myself into the work. I'm trying to trust my instincts in storytelling whilebeing completely honest in the form of expresssion. The outlet has been good, but there are times when I get nervous about exposing myself the way I am. Makes me feel freakish, like a narcisstic ego maniac. My faith has been shaky. I use that as a motivation to write. A lot of what I'm writing about now is trust, dependency and belief. I hope to carry over into the unity of trust in my subsequent piece. Jammy Yoon talks about getting Motivated Writing this stuff down has been hard. Being motivated has been difficult. When I watch movies, I only find myself thinking about my own stuff. I get a lot of ideas. Sometimes it's too much. But watching movies has been real difficult these days. I get real cynical. I find it hard to detach myself. I almost feel as if entertainment is secondary. Actually, that is what I feel. Most of the time I find myself not being a film geek in likingstuff. It's all been boring and sometimes depressing(to think about watching). However this is the stuff in my blood. People can't choose what blood type they are. They just are. I need a real job.
