Banno has a lovely article on the relationship between a filmmaker and his subject here:

My favourite line from the article, just to get you off your lazy ass and click on that link:

When he chooses to film a bar singer, he also chooses to film his own fascination for her.

I wonder how many filmmakers realize this, even when they don’t put themselves in the frame with their subject.

  1. Ah! What a lovely surprise. Came by, as usual, and found myself here, unexpectedly.

  2. Reason I haven’t got off my lazy ass to click on that link is because I’m a tad overworked… running on empty, as far as (beauty) sleep goes. So to the article above I say I’ll “dive another day.”
