I’ve been doing this for a decade. I call it the anti project: it’s whatever I feel like writing on that day. It’s not intended to write a novel (I’ve done that) or make a movie (done that too), or solve any useful problem. The purpose is no purpose besides to get away from the screens and spill some ink.

This is the lazy, pointless-TV-watching of writing. And I’d recommend it, but if I tried to explain why that would defeat the purpose of having no purpose.

What movie did you make? Anything we’d know?

Unless you were at a couple of obscure film festivals in the early 2010s, definitely not!

We were hobbyists making features and shorts on a shoestring budget with no expectations of “making it.” It was a blast. It’s also an all-consuming hobby that you can’t keep up forever.

The last short film we did before is still online https://vimeo.com/144277181

That’s awesome. I did some low budget hobby ones in the late 90s/early 00s… back when we had to rent time on real hardware for editing. Nothing that’s even online.

I’ll check that one out.
