Brainstorming


I arrived at Film Farm Thursday 24 April to be met by the good news that Charles has been commissioned by Mike Goldmark of Goldmark Art to produce a film about John Piper and I have been chosen as the art consultant. Yippee! We were supposed to be spending the next couple of days working on my podcast, DRIFTWOOD, and my own Frank Brangwyn Stained Glass DVD, but somehow Piper spread a cobwebby lattice over all, and thoughts and conversations rebounded on to the subject.
It's just the buzz and the adrenalin of something knew, another step into the unknown. We gave up the unequal struggle on Saturday and spent most of the day perusing books, making notes and finally brainstorming. Charles produced a mind map which I annotated and then we sat down to discuss priorities, interviewees, locations, dramatised scenes etc - our minds whirring with schemes, practical and otherwise (often the latter).
I departed Sunday with instructions to produce a film outline by Tuesday. Aaargh!
