I drew this comic while struggling with creating Green Dream. The comic captures my growth process while creating the film. In the beginning I had lots of hopes and dreams of creating a film that will yield success. But the truth is that I am not making a conventional documentary. It is an author film and there are not clear formulas or conventions that I can follow. It also makes it hard to explain it to others and fund it. I have accepted the fact that certain doors will be closed for me and that I have to figure out the path as I go. Interestingly, I see many parallels between what happens with me behind the camera and what is unfolding in front of it. My struggles to have an organic unconventional approach yet deliver a cohesive story mirrored people's struggle to manage urban nature and still respect and preserve its wild character. Perhaps at the end, we are all figuring it our as we go.
