Velasco is in the midst of writing his first feature-length script. When I was writing it, I was listening to a lot of pop songs, especially Bob Dylan songs. I decided to attempt a similar project, only in film, which is unusual because you rarely hear the second-person form of address in film. Usually they think it's an old lover, but often they think it's Mexico. My German friend says it reminds her of Germany.
People see it as anything that's lost.
We never meet her because I want to convey the impression that she is watching. On a basic level, the film is about snapping out of your depression and awakening yourself to the miracle of life. The main character experiences an awakening and the film's tone and style change to reflect that. Every week, all the graduate students using the Avids would draw lots and sign up for blocks of time during the next week. I was lucky because I was editing my film during a period when there weren't many people on the machines.
