being in the liminal spaces is your strength

“To document,” Jurgenson writes, “is to be involved with our own experience instead of passively letting it float by.”

It’s okay for people to not understand the choices you make or the work you do. The more difficult it is to explain, the more likely it is that you’re doing something important and innovative.

Easy to define can be synonymous with safe.

Patience is required for the nuanced development of your craft. Patience is required for taking in information in the most faithful way possible. Patience is required for crafting a work that resonates and contains all that we have to offer.

“When you finish anything, people want you to then talk about it. And I think it’s almost like a crime. A film or a painting – each thing is its own sort of language and it’s not right to try to say the same thing in words. The words are not there. The language of film, cinema, is the language it was put into, and the English language – it’s not going to translate. It’s going to lose.”

– David Lynch
