I also wanted to express my love for painting.
Films always originate in emotions.
This time it was that of seeing so many people combing the market place or rummaging through supermarket trash containers for leftovers. Seeing them made me want to film them and specifically that which cannot be filmed without their consent. During the wheat harvest in the summer of 1999, I saw on TV a farmer sitting on top of his combine harvester. He was explaining that if the machine was badly adjusted, and left one grain on each stalk, he would end up loosing a staggering amount of wheat and an equally staggering amount of money. This grain on a stalk struck me.
