Hi,

If you know me a little bit or a lot I think you can tell how influenced I am from cinema.

Deep down I think my misfit personality traits are borrowed from great cinema I got exposed to when I was a kid. Today's newsletter is around creatively creating art.

Enjoy!

How to research for your project effectively

Brain Collins once said (paraphrasing), "We go to the past to predict the future." What my two-cent brain took from it is that research is more like pattern recognition—you see what worked and what didn’t, what evolved into shit, and what turned into a epic shit.

Bamboo - Minoru Muraoka

If you like jazz, you might find this interesting—otherwise, feel free to skip this section. Minoru Muraoka was an OG bamboo flute artist from the 1970s. He created amazing jazz and pop covers using a bamboo flute called the shakuhachi. If you're planning to listen, I suggest hearing the original song first, then his version. Start with Take Five.

Luca Guadagnino & Stefano Baisi on the Power of World Building

Moodboard is forbidden word

This week, I watched Queer. The movie is okay, but it looks amazing. Luca Guadagnino, the director of QueerCall Me by Your Name, and Challengers, worked with Stefano Baisi as the production designer for Queer. They broke down how they approached the entire production.

Purple Noon

It’s a 1960s French film based on the novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. If you haven’t read the book or seen any of the film adaptations, I suggest you just jump into it—don’t read the synopsis or watch the trailer. I promise you won’t be disappointed.


Today’s newsletter became too artsy by chance, I hope you enjoy.

You can reply to this thread if you have any questions or feedback. It’s most welcome!"

Be Well,
