“I guess what inspires me most is the desire to draw out feelings that feel best expressed on the written page by really good authors, and I'm not a really good author. I feel like my job as a filmmaker is to eff the ineffable, to take feelings that only poets could describe with words and try to project them on the screen for viewers to feel.

We have to, otherwise we'd just spend our waking hours shredding the feelings from everybody else.” IfsFeelsTryingHardFeelingsDreamNightHoursSleepWonderCryMastersBedWakingCrashCompulsionMelodramaShredding Author:Guy Maddin
