I've assembled together a group of actors, musicians, painters, and a producer to engage on some film projects with me.
The idea I've been having is to test some of my ideas out using the Scientific Method to create, at first, Avant-Garde works. Then at last, if they do indeed function as I hope they will, to translate these Avant-Garde ideas into more Narrative ones at which I'm hoping a general audience can at once appreciate and understand.
The film I'm engaging with at the moment is filming the Four Elements of Nature. Not by actually filming them. But communicating them through their aesthetic mise-en-scene and editing equivalents. I want people to know the elements, without actually knowing them.
When I'm done, I'll perhaps submit them here for comment.

How many colors are there in a field of grass to the crawling baby unaware of 'Green'?
