About a year ago I started seeing an image of a girl on a horse. It’s recurred often enough and feels charged enough to be the seed of a new film. I’m hesitant to dive into a new film project ’til I’ve wrapped up the initial marketing push for SISTER BEE. But feel ready to begin a quiet exploration of where this image could lead. My first inquiry brought me to Diane Kennedy, of Equine Assisted Growth and Learning in Boulder. Diane works with people and horses in a therapeutic setting. She’s started a beautiful project that connects mothers of teenage girls with wild mustangs. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Diane back in February and our conversation opened a whole new world of inquiry. It’s two months later and I’m still reading about wild mustangs, thinking about girls and horses and letting things settle until I feel clear about what the next step will be. | |
A new project (whether it be a film or a painting) always begins with an image popping into mind. Most images pop and dissolve. But some stick around (patient and persistent ghosts) until I take the time to explore.
