Its Adrian.
Sorry about yesterday, I had a really hard day.
Why do you think you like fishes so much?
I dont know.
I just love the deep surprise of the ocean.
First, there is a father and he has a son.
Then it starts all over.
I am now the father and I have a son.
But something goes awry.
Something goes off script, and then suddenly you're gone.
A Hollywood producer is interested in trying to remake my documentary, Sherman's March, as a fiction film.
- It always just stuck with me.
- I'd be elated.
I just don't quite know how it can be done.
- Can a movie bomb twice?
- Turn it off.
This is not art.
This is life.
The story I thought I was telling with my filmmaking, the story of lives lived over decades is now disjointed.
Let go.
The wheels are all out of order.
Don't film me right now.
Was it filming?
- Yes.
- Bravo, Bravo!
Do you ever think about reversing the roles sometimes a bit more?
Dont drop it.
Why don't we turn it off for now?
Sure.
People don't want to see a film about me.
They want to see it from what I see.
Memory is partly about connecting the past to the present.
That's how you remember something.
You care about it.
Two, three.
Yes, you're gone.
Except you're not gone because I still have all these moments with you captured on film.
Is thats going to come on the film?
It depends on whether I edit it out.
I want you to keep the on.
