My life. The movie. Rated Whatever.
Here I am, just a character in my own movie, with no pre-written scenario or script, just improvising and learning as I go through every scene. I have limited control over the film's concept and some grasp of the general direction I want it to go. But it's the other essential elements that I have complete control over, such as my dialogue, character arc and responses, and most importantly, the editing. From the many scenes, I have accumulated throughout my forty-something years. I can edit a happy family movie filled with birds and sunshine with clips from my parents, sisters, wife, son, and others. Or I can make a romantic comedy, highlighting the weird and funny encounters I had before finally connecting with my one true love on Tinder, of all places, and finding her on another continent. I can also cut out a thrilling drama, filled with all the hard times and challenges I've faced, getting divorced, depression, being broke and jobless, and spice things up with cut scenes...
