Remembering this: "whether people like your art is beyond your control, all that's in your control is making it to the best of your ability."

Sonya Sones: “Don’t take yourself too seriously. Take the work seriously, take the time to do it every day, but don’t get all bent out of shape about being a struggling artist. If the pleasure doesn’t outweigh the pain then stop. Life is too short.” #writing

@DylanoA4 May 20, 1990: Advice on Life and Creative Integrity from Calvin and Hobbes Creator Bill Watterson

[patrick. @imPatrickT]

here’s the only real creative advice that matters:

let yourself be shit at whatever you want to make. don’t stop creating just because you (or others) don’t like your work.

take bad pictures for a long time… make garbage music… paint stick figures, and create silly short films – because eventually, something really great will happen. you’ll start loving your own stuff, and others will too, because the first thing you make after the last thing you hated gets better every single time.

i get so tired of hearing creators spew nonsense about content strategies, what gear to buy, or their “proven method for success” – no. it’s bullshit. your story is your story, and you can’t buy shit to make your work better, so just use what you’ve got and go fucking do it.

Filmmaking can look all glamorous from the outside but it’s HARD. Long set days wearing multiple hats, projects are a long game to develop, & we’re constantly pivoting creatively because of logistical factors getting in the way…

But, we do it all over again on the next project.

Y'all go find The Farm Shop punya susu. Bukan Farm Fresh tau. Lain.

Susu TFS sedap nak mampos. Sangat fresh. Dia sangat creamy sebab carotene tinggi. Nak menangis i minum.

Dan la founders semua perempuan. I support female founders 😚

Post-shoot recovery: bed-rotting, tired and with PMS in the mix. All brain cells are not working. Being a female filmmaker is tough.

[eric forman @metropolitancig]

fast food, fast fashion, songs being sped up, tv show seasons being only 8 episodes long, replacing youtube vlogs with fifteen second "day in the life" tiktoks, people in their twenties complaining about being too old...everything is so rushed, we have lost the art of lingering.
