I just came across this passage from Kevin Kelly’s short but valuable book Excellent Advice for Living, and it resonated with how I look at my own filmmaking, and what I preach others to embrace about their own. So I took a photo:

Do you cling tightly to your good ideas?

Let them go. There’s always more where that came from.

Once you get comfortable doing that, you free yourself up to stumble across a great one.

The best way to get comfortable letting go of good ideas?

Make every day.

Movie: You Can See Everything

Saw this a couple weeks ago with Toni – I’m obsessed with Nathan Fielder, and she’s obsessed with Elizabeth Holmes, so we couldn’t wait. It’s not strictly speaking a documentary, but it’s definitely art and gives you something to think/talk about after the credits roll.

Also Lance Oppenheim is having an incredible moment between this and Primetime. I haven’t seen that one yet, but I loved his doc about The Villages and Spermworld. Unfortunately he’s significantly younger than me, so I hate him.

Let’s make some movies.
