RE: IFC S2R10: A Hero Short
As always, thanks for the in depth comment. Yeah it seems that we are always our worst critics but I'm glad you liked it and the zombie story. Im going to try and write some more fiction when ideas come to me. It helps with the imagination which sometimes I feel I'm losing.
I think there is a bit of that boy in all of us. The boy could have easily been a girls as well. I believe that each person has both light and dark in them. It's what we choose to put out into the world.
I like what you said about expressions of the source. That's interesting.
Yeah the story was based on a dream. It had a lot of similarities and also a lot of differences. The story evolved and changed as I wrote it mostly to keep it short and to make things fit together a bit nicer. In the dream a war broke out and the dwarf, who was also a clown in the dream, had run away from being a king himself. He appeared at the end of the dream with an army to help the boy because the boy was kind to him and showed him that humanity was worth fighting for. I wish I could have incorporated that into the story but I found it too challenging. The rabbits also viciously attacked the enemy instead of warning them off and the dark kings army left the king when they realized that the battle would be hard for them. They were only with the king because they were being paid to be there so there was no true loyalty to him. The king was alone in the end. That's the just of it.
So yeah if I followed the actual dream the story would have been way way longer and more complicated hahaha. Too much for a post. But it was a very interesting dream. I dont usually have such vivid dreams.
Sounds like you're going through some stuff today. I hope everything's alright?

You're welcome. Glad to hear you're going to try to write some more fiction! I should as well, it's fun and people told me I'm pretty good at it as well.
Word.. I agree with that.
Very interesting and fascinating! Thanks for elaborating and expanding.
Ah.. I see.. Sounds like quite a dream indeed!
Thanks for caring.. What happened was I had watched the end of the movie I made called "Are You Out There?" I'm not sure if you've seen it or not, but the end is really intense and there's a audio recording of a guy talking about how if you get too deep into trying to help the world that it's really dangerous and can kill you and your family. And.. It just sort of reminded me of how dangerous it is to try to do what is right.. Sort of like your story of your dream did.. I think that's a major reason so many people never try to really stand up for so much injustice in the world.. Cause they just wanna live their lives and not face the risk of being harmed or killed or having their family or friends harmed or killed. It's a sad truth that it's a lot easier to just stay out of it it's a sad truth that if you try to get too deep into doing what is right, that the people who are doing what is wrong may not like that and try to stop in you a variety of ways up to and including the ultimate form of killing someone.
You should totally write fiction as well!
I havent seen any if your movies. Are they on youtube or where does one find them?
I think I see what you are saying about it being dangerous to help people. Many activists and such seem to become targets, sometimes who get taken out. I think that's why it takes such courage to go against the status quo.

Word. When I get some time I'd like to follow up on my Apolymask fiction story, people seemed to really like the first one. I also have some other ideas though time is an issue! I can't even keep up with my messages, so it can be difficult to do so many things I wanna do.
And yeah my vids are on YouTube, here's a link to the documentary I mentioned.
I forget how long it is. I think 45 mins or so? Would be happy to hear your thoughts if you check it out.
Also yup.. It seems like a good mount of people die from speaking out too much, though it can often be difficult to prove since the killers are good at killing. Though it really does seem like it happens quite a bit if you research the subject.. It sure does take a lot of courage, I think many would rather just enjoy their lives than get involved, but.. Sometimes people have no choice and it gets forced on them, and othertimes they realize we're all being threatened by what's happening in the world.
I watched the video. It was really good. You definitly have a talent in video production and directing. I find it quite challenging to watch the scenes of extreme hate. They make me feel a bit hopeless, so I appreciated that you put in some images and scenes of positivity in the world where people show and spread love. I think it gives hope to the viewer and shows that things can change.
Very good video overall. I'm impressed!
