"I Can Only Give You Lots and Lots of Love"that was what Mr Filmmaker said over the phone just now. how
sweet! as his nickname suggests, he's the first one who has shown me 100% enthusiasm and passion for art-directing and film making. like Jack Neo, his life orbits around filmmaking. he lives it, he sleeps in it and he breathes it. i could never have understood so much about lighting, production work, editing and HD post-pro if not for the conversations we have had.
amazing.ever since i stepped into the Design world, i have realised that there are gems in here. i love to dig the treasures of art and long to learn more. i begin to realise my dreams in art. i like art and i like to sink myself into the oceans of fantasies, imagination and romantic ideas. and even though art may not bring big bucks, it's the passion that sustains it all. and he sums it up with, "im unable to afford materialistic wealth, but just lots and lots of love."
i'm not sure if it is accurate to say that Man shouldn't be too materialistic. that our goals and dreams shouldn't be founded upon profitability and prosperity. his inspiring conversation led me to understand how directions in life motivate one to push beyond the boundaries. he lives in his world of film making. even though it doesn't earn him big bucks, it has given him high accreditions and recognition. his films have won various prestigious awards. he's now looking at showcasing his works at international film fes.
power. despite not having the good wealth in materialistic terms, he's earned a good wealth of knowledge, exposure and experience.
i wondered why, but i enjoyed talking to you -KT, really. i felt that i could be myself and even though it was a business call, i have learnt so much from you in the most personal way. thanks for the jokes, the sharing and everything! you've made me smiled. i've grown up again today! ;)
