what about a christmas movie. something about people getting together ... maybe at a cabin ... bringing gifts for each other, and maybe its been a while since they've all seen each other. it's a reunion of sorts. and there's a dinner, and everybody's settled in, and then they get to the gift opening ... and ... they start opening the gifts and this is where things start to fall apart! the gifts aren't what we expect, and they have strange meanings for the receivers and the givers, maybe personal, maybe surreal. and drama ensues, or maybe nothing ensues.... i'm not sure. maybe by the new year it'd be too late for a xmas film. just another idea to throw into the pot.

I was also thinking that the boat would be very difficult to do. I also couldn't come up with a satisfying explanation for myself about how people could drift so far from shore without realizing it. An elevator would make things much easier, but I would want to keep thinking about other traps and locations. I like the story, and I think if we can figure out a really unique setting it would be awesome. Sorry to not actually contribute anything here, I'm working on it.

i was thinking about the idea mitch was talking about that we got in ericsson's email update. not to change it completely, but I was in carly millers elevator, and she has a creepy little elevator, and it got me to thinking about how filming the same sort of idea but in an elevator makes it quite a bit more practical. the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way about mitch's idea, was that it would be fairly difficult to satisfy that shot of the two out in the middle of the ocean, or at least quite far out. there's a little island out at whytecliffe park, but still, it seems rather risky. anyway, I was thinking about the same concept, people getting stuck in an , going through a lot of intense arguing, revelations, whatever, then finding out that what had felt like hours was only minutes, when they appologized to the person who's office/appartment/wherever they were going to for taking an hour in the elevator. the person they were going to see says "well, you just buzzed a minute or two ago, literally" anyway, it's something to think about. perhaps the location changes things in a way they weren't meant to be changed, but let me know. that and yvonne, my old roommate gave me this bizzare 8 track boombox sort of deal. it's pretty crazy, and the only 8 tracks i have are these pre disco so and so and his orchestra murder music tapes. they're pretty creepy, especially the quality of the sound that comes out of the box.

i like snow.
also, totally not snow-related, i thought about this idea ---- kind of a documentary --- shots of people's responses to a work of art that is off screen behind the camera, so the viewer observes the person's reaction to the work, but not the work itself. we hear descriptions of the art work, and see physical/facial responses, but don't see the work in question.
