specifics
Background & Reason:
Almost 15 years ago I directed short fiction films; usually within the very fast and very limited deadlines of training courses.
These enthusiastic, but unpolished films were barely shown at the time [no "social media" back then] and so they disappeared into the refrigerator.
We have now republished some of them online here for viewing.
Our most ambitious script [set in a distant foreign location] proved unfeasible with the then primitive means and, after many delays and obstacles, was never realized, after which our creative group gradually drifted apart.
I decided to refocus and take a "short, temporary break" from filmmaking.
A break that would ultimately last a decade; in which (after extensive wanderings as a photographer, among other things) I also took up acting again on the local stage.
