A quick recap of what's happened so far:
I am working with a story from Greek mythology.
I did extensive research on it, and ended up choosing the story of Oedipus.

I tried ways of adapting it to a modern context, but something always felt wrong.
I starting looking at the bigger picture, at what I really wanted to SAY through this film.
And jackpot.
I realized a lot about myself and my film.
I am really very happy with what I'm working on now.
It's something I've always wanted to do.
It's moved beyond the assignment, experimentation, and film.
It's gone into deeper territory, to do with me, my thinking and my life as well.
This may be the best thing I have done so far.
There's always a chance of failing, but I am determined to do this, one way or another!
A couple of notes and scribbles from my initial struggles:
