What cinema looks like when you stop optimizing everything without making it complicated
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. directors got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
I started this because my quiet Sunday felt a little stuck, and cinema seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
