one fine day, i

Before enlightenment, the laundry.
After enlightenment, the laundry.


i want to create the feeling of an expanded consciousness and awareness, an out of body experience for my character, which the audience can observe as a dilation of a fleeting moment.

this Buddhist phrase captures the transience of the experience of an ultimate reality, while placing it in the context of the finite reality to which we are bound, complete with all its responsibilities and chores.

to communicate the time/space disruption i will draw on maya deren's "ritual in transfigured time" and "meshes of the afternoon" as well as alain resnais's "last year at marienbad" particularly the way the conversations are halted in resnais's film while the camera moves between characters. i want to do this to convey the out of body experience as well as the empathic aspect of complete understanding of another's perspective and oneness with the universe, while maintaining an individual identity (which will be expressed through the camera movement.)

hmmm. a lot of that sounded totally new age-y. i promise it is not.
