The in between is becoming infinite...

Just saw the movie Her, written and directed by Spike Jonze, this past weekend and I was amazed, depressed, and enlightened after living Ted for two and a half hours.

A picture of a woman with her back turned is on Jonze's wall. As he recalls obtaining it, "the beautiful mysteriousness of it. And also, you know, the memory of it.”

Here is an article documenting the making of the movie.

The emotion evoked from the film recalls the framed anonymity: "...her dark-blonde hair brushing her shoulders, almost tangibly present but at the same time unreachable. She’s real, but only in her world, not yours."

Snagged from an article called "14 Screenwriters Writing", See the full article.

"...Stories, even ones with jumbled timelines and time periods, are linear. They start, stuff happens, they end. When working out a story, I try to stay away from traditional outlines. Trying to sit down and begin by listing the scenes in order seems overwhelming. My answer is to use notecards that I spread out on the floor. Ideas for scenes go on a card and initially aren’t required to work in concert with other scenes. This process ends up creating connections and story lines that might not have been discovered otherwise. You never know where a card might land on your floor. " -Jeff Nichols

Write write write!
