Film Ideas
I'm also a newbie & am excited about the prospect of
incorporating OTR into the medium of film:
I would love to simply see/collaborate on a
documentary that gives OTR's history as I think it's a
fascinating one. Linford's liner notes alone are cause
for a film.
But, Scott2B: if you're looking for more of a
fictitous idea well, take any of the characters
represented in Films for Radio & "jam" on them. Each
one is so rich I don't know if you'd be able to
squeeze them all into one film but it would be worth a
shot. Perhaps it could be something along the lines of
Freaks--but softer & with a more upbeat ending.
So, thanks for bringing me out of my corner, I'd been
listening quietly for a while, too.
Peace.
