Today was not a good day. I had auditions and they didn't go. Not that they didn't go well... THEY DIDN'T GO. No shows. First time ever. Frustrating a bit.
Anyways, on with the show...
WRITER/DIRECTOR/CLOWN
Daniel Fersner
Daniel Fersner. That is me. You know this. I have been trying to make a film for about a decade now. Which is a bit staggering to think about. I have had two misfires, but those were very nice learning experiences (despite the stress caused). I have studied film from all over the world from every decade of its existence. I like to think I have a pretty good handle on what works for film as an art form.
The current script has been worked on for about a year now and is definitely the most "complete" script I have written. Regardless of anything else, time has certainly helped my writing. I always want to deliver a small, honest story with big happenings going on all around. I want honesty and depth of character.
One thing I find difficult is how much to consider an audience (which I'll probably never have anyway). Do I pander to what they would like? I have no doubt I could smash something for an audience... but I have little interest in that. It feels like a terrible thing to do. So, I just make what I would want to see and what I feel does the art form justice. Which means many may be left wondering what is wrong with me...
But I am trying to do this for the sake of storytelling. I have no delusions of fame and fortune. But I do have some good ideas... and I do think some people will be impressed that I do sort of know what I am doing (after all).
That is all I will say on me. Look for more about the great people I have collaborating with me soon!
I just lost an hour... time change.. NO!
