I will check out some of these NEW ones.... When I lived in Japan for 20 years - No American TV so just Samurai films & American Movies the VHS & Beta Max race was on to watch as many films as I could --- Well the films I've listed & thousands more I would watch Raiders of the Lost Arc over 200 times or Blade Runner or what ever I had was watched or continuously on & then start another film...etc... Now I'm States side & starting to produce my own films & can't wait to show the world what I know about story telling... My Ache Gnaws at me 24/7 to produce High Quality Stories that will be seen a Real & at times Raw... My inspiration is from others that share NEW films that my mind wants to digest & watch over & over again to see the "Pareidolia" that the writer / actors intended... It's there but only the subconscious mind can see after a while the pattern is clear... Now when I film I leverage that into my short films --- Everything has meaning & is important ... Thank you group for sharing your films with me & others... ;)
