who else is up thinking about lowen and yery

I’m a big fan of simplicity, I don’t like complicated plots. I would rather have one shot that lasts a while and tells you a lot of information over a long period of time, than have a lot of little pieces. Really it’s about whatever is right for the scene, but I do really enjoy having a shot that you’re able to get lost in, where you can let your mind wander and go some place else, and come back and the shot is still going on. The thing I love about film as an artform is that it’s entirely defined by time. It can be non-linear, you can speed things up, slow things down, you can use time however you like. But one of those usages is just letting time be its own thing, and when you hold on a single image for however long, to let real time play out, it starts to define how we’re processing the information, and I love letting that take precedence. "There’s at least one scene in the movie where the ghost is just sitting down and we’re holding on him for a solid minute, and nothing seems to be happening, but actually a lot of things are happening. We’re waiting for something to happen, and that’s all important, that’s all part of the story. On a lot of movies, you don’t have that chance, you have to tell a more traditional story and you need to keep everything moving along pretty quickly, but this was an opportunity to use time to its fullest extent.
