reflecting on the school year

(imagine that in italics^)

friday I had my review for film, which involved playing a program of my best work for three film professors and having a conversation afterward. from the projection booth in the screening room, i awkwardly stepped down to the viewing area after my films were finished playing, and the first thing someone said was “wow”. they spoke about how strong my pieces were in poetic language, and how the femininity is intentional always in my work; i was so flattered.

they gave me a huge list of work to watch this summer that they think will influence me and i was told to keep writing this summer and start storyboarding in a way that lets me clearly connect visuals i want to create with a narrative/language in general.

27 video files in one after effects timeline that i’m compiling, and i still have to fit a few more in : )

i make wacky little scenarios that even i don’t understand, please don’t put my work down because you don’t get it. why don’t people ever question their own lack of ability in understanding something? why is it always the artist’s fault?

fuckyeahrhodeisland:

melanchali:

and then Taylor Swift bought a house on Watch Hill and Rhode Island let out a collective shudder and THIS DEAD FUCKING SHARK WASHED THE FUCK UP ON SHORE.

let this be a lesson to you, Taylor: you may be lulled into a false sense of security by the obscene wealth surrounding your seaside getaway, but the rest of li’l Rhody is watching, and we are not pleased.

If Taylor was smart, she would have bought the Superman Building.

us rhode islanders sure are territorial!

1. in hindsight, i used to have body dysmorphic disorder.

2. late nights with that one fluorescent light on, it feels like we’ve reached that other planet which can harvest human life.

3. today i sat in a cheap mexican restaurant and watched someone who meant a lot to me about a month or two walk by with a friend and i felt my stomach twist.

4. the way which you talk about small things, when you ask me what i think after every thing you say. we ride trains and say goodbye and my mind reels after. with you i’m an artist, i’m less of a nihilist. stars connect, living and dead, and you are very very special.

5. it’s noon on saturday and i missed the goddamn meteor shower.

6. “ring me up you fucker” at a grocery store, pissed off customer.

7. Seduce me again, please, because now I know how to tear you apart.

it’s to stay angry and bitter.

if you split on me i’ll forget about you almost completely (i’ve done it before and it’s the only way to deal).

+ how the fuck am i supposed to deal with someone who literally has no interests? i’m exhausted, i have no words left for comforting. read a fucking self-help book.

+ remember that time you told me people couldn’t be comforted? you are so dense

+ i’m astonished that i was fooled by your kind words (that were completely full of shit). you don’t know me and you never will.

this year’s been a killer.

bombsfall:

A quick editorial cartoon about the intersection of self-pity, entitlement, rape, territoriality, misogyny and fear of women. You see it all over the place online in the form of Men’s Rights Activists (of whom there are a few reasonable non-misogynists), Men Going Their Own Way, Pick Up Artists, and dudes touting the “Red Pill”, because The Matrix is a good movie. Look any of these up if you have the stomach for it. These are extreme examples, but watered-down forms of these ideas are everywhere.

In lurking their blogs and youtube channels for a while, I’ve noticed that beyond the standard patriarchal chauvinism there is this deep fear of women - what they will do to me, how they will reject me, how they will use me, how they are changing society in a way that does not favor me, how they are making men into something I don’t like, how they are making themselves into something I don’t like, that they won’t give me what I want, and that they won’t give me what I think is rightfully mine. This goes beyond fear of feminism- this is fear of women at its purest. And that, to quote a puppet, leads to anger and hate. It’s sad.

I am a feminist. I think there’s enough ice cream to go around, but it does mean those of us with 3 scoops might have to give one or two up. Also, The Matrix is a fun movie but probably not anything you should be basing a philosophy on.

some work-in-prog stills of my video final:

i am purty excited about this baby, it’s inspired by red light districts - i’m going for a viewing-women-through-windows effect. still need to shoot some lollipop + makeup scenes plus a 2channel scene of me spitting from one screen and catching it in my mouth in the other.

Black guy kills some people.

Black guy kills some people.
News: Criminal.
Muslim guy kills some people.
News: Terrorist.
Latino guy kills some people.
News: Criminal.
White guy kills some people.
News: Mental illness. (lost soul, complicated psyche, quiet loner, misunderstood, frustrated with life, experienced recent, traumatic, life-altering events that set him off; not to mention all the positive descriptors that are attached to him, i.e. intelligent, PhD candidate, honor roll student, etc.)

Teenage boys rape a girl
News: Potential NFL athletes, popular students, class presidents, funny, intelligent, bright, enthusiastic, handsome, sought after, promising, polite, "poor boys who lost their future dream"

Teenage girl is raped:

News: What was she wearing? Was she drunk? How much was she drinking? Was her cleavage showing? Well maybe she was asking for it? Well was it really "rape"? She was a slut. Teens today are too sexually active. Did she lead them on?

now that the manhunt’s over i am totally motivated to plunge into my video final - i’m going to create a portrait of the red light districts (in general) because i’m both sickened and allured by them, which is my favorite combo.
