I've been contemplating failure. My attempts to come up with a great idea for Refutation (the pdf magazine) have been so hopeless that I'm seriously wondering if a blank page would go down well. Now I've said that anything else will seem like a cop out.
I did make another Stargazer film by going bonkers stabbing holes in 16mm film and then pointing a camera into the lens of the projector. I suppose that these films do mark a failure of sorts as they fall well short of the view from my back garden.
Anyway I have other things to worry about now. It looks like "Trying to cope with things that aren't human (part one)" is to go ahead and I'm going to be shipped to San Francisco in January to make an Automatic film or two. Ian wants me to write something for the publication too. Given my terror of adventure it shouldn't be too difficult to find material.
