london gives sara advice
several years ago i made a short film entitled
london gives Jessica advice
it was a film about two of my favourite themes: relationships and "the city". in the film the title character is given intimate advice and insights on her relationship from an assortment of strangers. It was inspired by smiliar events I have had since moving to this city.
I had another one of these events today.
its been a wierd week. A show I was meant to be managing has suddenly been put on hold. the reasons are tied up in the nature of this bizarre industry i work in. saying i took the news badly would be a gross understatement.
I left the office to have a ciggarette and gather my thoughts. mid-sulk i was tapped on the shoulder by a guy who works next door.
We chat over ciggarette breaks from time to time.
He had to tell me all about his glastonbury experience. his enthusiasm was utterly infectious and i
found myself smiling in spite of myself. out of nowhere he asked if i was o.k. i said i was having a kind of strange day. he pondered over this mid exhale said
strange is better than boring though isn’t it?
his manager called him back to work. I put out my ciggarete and came back to my desk feeling oddly comforted . i guess thats one more point for this crazy city…
