I have been thinking about what major project I want to do next.
The large, time consuming, documentaries that I have produced myself have all been about place. I have rocked up somewhere, knowing roughly what the themes will be about but then slowly documenting what’s in front of me.
I like making those films. I like the process. And I think patience is the one of the most underrated skills in being a filmmaker.
I think I need to start making another film. I know it will be about a place but I haven’t worked about what the place will be.
I know that it needs to have a natural narrative (like the football documentary – start of the season to the end of the season).
I know I need to be able to film at the weekends.
Anyway, I’m going to have to be proactive in finding the next project, the next one won’t just fall in my lap.
