INSPIRATION

My inspirations for my film opening were from one my favourite and my really close to heart directors (they saved my life from their movies) Wong Kar-wai and Sofia coppola. 

Wong Kar-wai, a Hong Kong film auteur, has an exceptional style in that he creates highly individual art films in a very commercial market. His working style is so freshly innovative that in Ashes of Time every actor received their own scripts a few hours before each day's filming. His works are regarded  as having links with realism, postmodernism, stream of consciousness or constructivism and at the same time are collected and admired by me most importanly and many of his cult following.

My love for Coppla comes from her showing  interest in isolation It’s true that the worlds Sofia Coppola crafts are beautiful to look at. Her interest in fine art, music and fashion frequently converges to create films that feel as curated as any gallery exhibition. She speaks in a visual language that references painters and photographers with an uncommon effortlessness, and every soundtrack she curates has the intimacy of a handpicked mixtape. But even this feels like a process of reaching out – a sharing of intimate tastes, searching for connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
