Blueprint has screened and been nominated for awards at all of the major gay film festivals in Newfest, Frameline, Outfest and London Gay & Lesbian Film Festival as well as the film market at the Cannes Film Festival.  Blueprint is a film which crosses genre and boundaries.  Some say it is urban, some see gay, others say African American, some call it a coming-of-age film, while critics write independent or arthouse. The truth is, Blueprint is a little of all of those things and more.

The film director, Kirt Shannon-Butts, got in touch with me, and we spoke a bit, he is really nice, friendly, and i must say Blueprint looks really cool !!!

You can buy the film here, in DVD or VOD.

Hi . Sorry if i haven’t been online much lately, i’m feeling REALLY down atm. I’m quitting school, and everything in my life is falling appart. And i want to end all of it. it’s scary, though. Come what may, anyway.

I’m considering making some travel to get some air, you know… I may go to Deutschland, or  UK …
Even if i know that its not gonna solve any of my problems ><

Anyway. I’m in Marseille now, for the week, and i’m probably going back home in Paris soon. I’m currently reading  the Time Traveler’s Wife, and i began to watch a new serie : The Vampire Diaries ^^

Oh, and i  made some coloured crepes ^^ First time i put food coloring in crepes xD and the result was quite… surprising ^^

I took a picture to show you my “blue crepes”, among other xD

See you soon !!!

And i took around 2050 pictures xDDD i’ll post some one day ^^Ireland is a beautiful country, and speaking english for 10 days was so thrilling ^o^

Now, I can rest for 2 days in Lyon, and i’ll go to Marseilles Wednesday, i dunno for how long, tho ^^

So at first, i have a Formspring, where you can ask me stuff, if you want to : Here.

In 2 weeks, i’m going 10 days to Ireland, in a family, and its gonna be great. In 2 weeks, the FINAL season of Lost is coming out, wich i’ve been waiting for really long. <3. That’s some good things. Especially when you know that these last few weeks were like the worst of my life. Anyway. Oh, and speaking all my night on skype with handsome boys is like awesome. <3. Even if i’m sleeping during classes xD

Oh, and I went to cinema this weekend, and i was two of my favorite films, ever.

1)Bright Star

2)Mr Nobody

(Even if i also recently discovered amazing films, like Old Boys ^^)

1/ BRIGHT STAR.

Its the sad story of John Keats, in his lasts years. He died when he was only 25, but the few poems he made are nowadays considered as some of the most beautiful romantic poems ever. Like Lord Byrons ones, for instance.

The  film shows us, his life, especially his love story with Fanny Brawne, and how he created wonderful poems;

Here’s one of my favorite one :

Bright Star

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art–
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors–
No–yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever–or else swoon to death.

The soundtrack is quite beautiful, with some violin parts, and the final scene of the film, in which while walking, Fanny Brawne say loudly this poem, is just amazing.

2/ MR. NOBODY.

Woaw. this film is just a masterpiece.  When i saw it, i was feeling like the director picked most of my favorite musics, and films, and mixed them the very same way i would have done it. Seriously, it’s just awesome. It tell how every lifes are possible untill you haven’t chosen anything in it : a boy’s parents are getting separated, he must choose wether he goes with his dad, or with his mom. As long as he haven’t decided, he will marry a lot of girls, he will die in differents way, ect…

And the end is incredible : i’ll just say “Zugzwang”. The soundtrack is quite beautiful too, mostly with musics that existed before, though.

Oh, and i’m still reading a lot of books in english >< I don’t have enough time to finish any of them tho ^^

I’m reading Cherub, book 10; the 39 clues, book 4, and also Harry Pooter 7 one more time ^^

See you !! <3

By the way, the ost of Where the Wild Things Are, is (like the film itself) AWESOME. Fantastic. As you may listen :

Anywayyyyy

as usual, some pictures i loooove, found on internet, (philiptrash’s blog, or others)

Oh, and  I might be a bit in love

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make. You can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won’t know for twenty years! And you may never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce…

And they say there’s no fate, but there is, it’s what you create. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead, or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain wasting years for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right, but it never comes. Or it seems to, but it doesn’t really.

So you spend you time in vague regret or vaguer hope that something good will come along, something to make you feel connected, something to make you feel cherished, something to make you feel loved. And the truth is is, I feel so angry! And the truth is, I feel so fucking sad! And the truth is, I’ve felt so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long, I’ve been pretending I’m okay, just to get along!

I don’t know why. Maybe because…no one wants to hear about my misery…because they have their own.

Fuck everybody. Amen.

Woaw, it’s kinda weird to be there again. i dunno why but it makes me nostalgic about when i was still with josh :/ i’ll speak about it someday…

Anyway, i won’t be able to post for a bit, and it SUUUUUCKS :s

A week ago, i found a blog that hosted my short film, and on this blog, some pictures were so cute, i had to repost them here to share them with you…<3

The blog is Philip’s one

This one is especially cute, despite the fact its not supposed to be romantic ^^

And finally i don’t rememer where this one is from, but i thought it was cute enough to be there :p

See You

So here I am, back in Paris for 2 weeks, and here are some news.

I’m about to film a new short-film, better than the 1st one, and i can’t wait for it to be finished

I think i’m gonna stop studies, at least for now, and for a few years, if not forever. I’ve got too much problems.

Oh, and my ex-boyfriend, josh, deleted me of all his contacts, wich doesn’t help me being more happy. I guess it’s how life works… oO

By the way, and it’s Xmas tomorrow , yay !!

I guess soon i’ll make a post about the films i recently saw (like Avatar, A Christmas Carol, or Where the Wild Things Are… ^^)

Untill that, have a nice day !!!
