through this cool site called Kickstarter. Well, it worked! At least
for some basic funds for producing a short film. This will be my first
25 minute film. Very exciting ..very captivating..very...hard to edit down
to that time length! And why , you might ask, am I limiting the running time?
It all began, 14 years ago when a couple friends and I began to talk about
my Tourette experience as an adventure and I began to think of it as a ..collaborative energy that strongly affects my artistic experience. Out of this rose the phrase 'SynapTIC Adventure'. I've earned the name 'Captain SynapTIC' just because I feel like I'm sailing a ship over 'twitch-erous' waters! And yet, seemingly effortlessly at times. I suppose once you know your "vehicle" you handle it better. For the most part.
Now , how all this relates to the film length is..I have alot to say. Or Por-tray...well...BOTH! SO...this twenty five minutes is just the beginning.
The story here is universal. How do we deal with urges, overwhelming desires, inordinate drives and ritualistic...uhm...inclinations? This is the subject matter I want to approach with this movie.
Listen, Im not just talikn' ticcy here! It's the human dimension of this experience that I'm compelled to belch..I mean.. broast..I-I mean to BROACH.(dam!)..
This movie (and book too!) will be about much more than the symptomology of a specific disorder.
As it is for me, it will be nerve-racking, fun, funny, curious, thought-provoking,
and a rather personal accounting of "A SynapTIC Adventure: Tourettes AND Beyond" !
