Reminds me of Werner herzog’s film school where he only teaches the students how to pick locks n’ shit like that lol. I agree. Nothing beats life experience, introspection, and a curiosity for things outside of the medium you work within.

Otherwise it's just a pastiche. Which is fine if that's what you're after. For me, I tend to get bored by the novelty of that.

2024-07-02 23:40:38 +0000 UTCI’m a brand new filmmaker and think about this a lot. I have several shorts now and it seems everything I do is ripping off lynch or jodorowsky in some way lol. But, all of our favorite directors were constantly homaging other directors (even Lynch). The problem is when the director doesn’t add anything new to the conversation or have anything interesting to add to said homage. It has to be a “yes and” as oppose to “remember that one Kubrick shot?”
