Cinematic Threads
I was thinking about After Hours by Scorsese. You know, it’s one of my favorite movies and it’s very close to what I like to do with my movies, where the main character just walks into a weird story and gets stuck in it. It’s a very simple premise, but then it becomes completely crazy. That’s something I really love.
