things I’d recommend this week.

to writers, designers and aspiring polymaths and other creatives looking for inspo
An airport, a book of poetry, and an article. 1. Video - "America Has Finally Built a Beautiful Airport" from The B1M (link) It looks incredible and now I must see it in person myself. If anyone wants to go, let me know. 2. Reading — "Water, Water" by Billy Collins I've been getting into reading more poetry lately in preparation of a project I'm working on. 3. Article - "You Might Be a Late Bloomer" by David Brooks One of my favorite things to do is learn about people's paths and trajectories. Sometimes, they arrive in a place that reason or practicality couldn't have accounted for. This perspective on late bloomers felt relatable in some ways.

Readable UI is so important because my honest thought to seeing this on my iPad was “OH MY GOD MY DATE WAS TODAY?!! I MISSED IT??? 😭”
DATE NIGHT - listed as an event for “Tomorrow” but tomorrow is in a lighter color that might be overlooked

Christopher McQuarrie (@mcq.bsky.social) followed me!!! so naturally I want to share something he said that I found really insightful about bringing ideas to screen.

Practical work is different from theory

https://aframe.oscars.org/features/lessons-in-moviemaking-christopher-mcquarrie
As a director, your job is not to defend the screenplay. As the director your job is to interrogate the screenplay and confront it and challenge it and to elevate it. A lot of writers that I see who are not interested in becoming directors don't feel that it's their ambition to understand the process of filmmaking. And as such, a lot of the scripts that I'm sent to rewrite are not movies. They are ideas and they're in screenplay form. If you actually tried to shoot them the way that they're written, they wouldn't make a movie. So it's understandable that a writer is very frustrated that they hand the script over and that script is being torn apart and reinvented and turned into something else. I only learned that from having directed something myself and then looked back on my experiences as a writer.
