i dream of a world where it’s easy to tell people you’re gay and hard to tell people you’re going to major in film 

theres nothing wrong with film students but they should all be quarantined until like their 3rd year in the program. theres an option for an early release for good behavior in the 2nd if they can make it through a whole viewing of dead poets society without any comments about shot composition or how they would’ve done it better 

every once in a while though their probation officer drops by wearing a disguise and says “i’m going to watch princess diaries 2, want to join?” And if they roll their eyes theyre back in the slammer no parole 

i took a film class from MCAD to see if i liked it enough to go to school for it. my first assignment, i got marked down for trying to be funny. we were supposed to film someone doing an everyday task, so i filmed a friend getting home from work, but i had him take out half a dozen hidden weapons and pile them on his hall table before feeding his cat, and the professor felt that i was “not taking the art of filmmaking seriously” and took points off.

i asked him what classes i should take if i wanted to make enjoyable movies that were fun to watch. he just stared at me as if trying to pass a kidney stone. i shrugged and walked out, and never went back to the class.

(i used up the rest of my film shooting footage of cops eating at mcdonalds before returning the school’s equipment. not to be banksy. just because the mickey d’s was across the street and for some reason it was full of cops that day.)

anyhow, the reason i am a novelist and not a filmmaker is because i like movies too much to go to film school, the end.
