Filmography

I feel as though if i wasn't set on the path to a future writing career that my calling would truly be film and directing.
I just love immersing myself in a wonderful movie and being able to relate to the characters of that certain film and the story they are really bringing together.  I just find the whole film making process fascinating.  The weird thing is though that in our day and age the truly great and wonderful films that are out there today don't get as much recognition   This would be known as the oh so famous (or should i say not so famous) independent film industry.
This industry holds certain directors such as Stanley Kubrick which I feel I have mentioned before.  Let me just tell you now that I love him with an obsessive passion.  I find all of his movies genuinely interested and appreciate the paths he took with each one to make it their one.
My all time favorite movie by him is Lolita.  Although, this movie has been remade and although the remake is great as well I still with every fiber of my being feel that Stanley Kubrick's version provides more of an in depth concept to bring the book and the characters to life.  People want sex though and so this movie often gets snubbed for the original version of the movie steers away from this due to the time period.  What is funny however is that only a few years following the release of Lolita Stanley Kubrick produced the great work of A Clockwork Orange which was an american version of the same titled British novel.  This movie was the total opposite of Lolita, it contained tons of graphic nudity and sex but yet was applauded for it's extreme broadness and quirkiness.  He went on later in his film career to produce movies such as The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut which is a movie that for some reason reminds me of  Lost in Translation which was directed by Sofia Coppola starring the actress Scarlet Johanson who also starred in Ghost World, which is also another one of those films that deserves great praise.
 Most independent films do not get the recognition that they very well deserve and this is also proven in Sofia's films.  A few of her films including Marie Antoinette  and The Virgin Suicides are very well constructed and if i do say so myself better than most of the films that come out via movie theater.  I've included a few trailers of the movies I have talked about in this post just to familiarize yourselves with them if you don't already know.  Enjoy!
