Here and There

posted in: The Film | 7

Inspired by the last Ask the Filmmaker post, I started thinking about the things I do at residencies that I don’t do in my real life, and vice-a-versa. Here are some lists for your perusal, because who doesn’t like lists?

Things I do at residencies that I don’t do at home:

  1. Wake up at dawn.
  2. Go to sleep before midnight.
  3. Drink four cups of coffee.
  4. Watch DVDs projected on a screen along with poets and visual artists.
  5. Take a lot of photographs.
  6. See a million stars.
  7. Play ping-pong.
  8. Hike.


Things I do at home that I don’t do at residencies:

  1. Sleep until 10am.
  2. Go to sleep at 2am.
  3. Spend HOURS on the internet daily.
  4. Food shop.
  5. Carry my wallet and keys with me every time I step outside.
  6. Lock my door.
  7. Shower daily.
  8. Ride my bike.

Things I do at residencies and at home:

  1. Floss.


Things I don’t do at residencies or at home:

  1. Fly a jetpack.

    Despite the geeky outfit, I bet you wish that you did do the last thing on your list.

    That would be waaaay toooo coooool to fly a jetpack!!

    I have “paragliding lessons” on my to-do list; have you ever given that any thought? The flight would last a lot longer anyway.

    p.s. Four out of five jetpack pilots recommend flossing everyday, so you are on the right path…
