a random movie note
Meaning only to watch a few minutes of this documentary during dinner, I watched the entire thing, and then every bit of extra footage that was included on the DVD. The documentary is called "Dark Days"... from Netflix we have this info:
Documentarian Marc Singer
trains his camera on a group of homeless people who live deep
underground in an abandoned New York City railroad tunnel and scavenge
for food on the mean streets of Manhattan. At night, they retreat to
the tunnel, where they've built huts out of scrap metal, plastic and
plywood. Amazingly, they have electricity, furniture, working kitchens
-- and a sense of community that many surface dwellers would envy.
I was/am pretty captivated. I enjoyed the framing of the shots, the combinations of reality and surreality inherent in the situation, and somehow related to those portrayed. (perhaps that's scary...) Plus, if you're a fan of Neil Gaiman, his story "Neverwhere" throws a bit more in the mix.
on a studio note, I have a decent bit of work that's ready to go up on the website - I'm hoping that will be later today.
g'nite!
