film maker in progress

The first day of the shoot my audio took a dump. There was a story though. As I was returning from dropping someone off. A threesome, and the women were dominatrices. Well I was on my way back when I saw three kids kicking the shit out of two dudes on the side walk. Not a big deal but then they started to curb stomp one of them. I was off 118ave so I knew that I was in the hood and that these kids might actually kill the kid under the boot. I stopped and got my camera. Got out of the taxi and pointed it at them the bad guys ran. They scattered, I called 911. The whole ordeal was caught on tape. There is a clip in the footage where you can hear my voice saying I think we stopped them from stabbing the kid, then you here the cop saying They stabbed him. Fuck!

Jump For Joy Taxi Truth

I rented the taxi to make my film. Its going to be a storytelling extravagansa. As many stories of the lives of the people who deal with the Underground. i'm the main character, the driver exposer of stories. I 'm going to give the audience a safe ride through a world filled with ..... I don't know Lets see what the film will have to say after we shoot the streets from my perspective. I'm excited this is scarier then you would think. I got a crew, my dads on it. My heart races when I think about what its going to look like. The taxi inspieres me to write. I don't look at the key board when I'm writing taxi talk, Fuck its great. I know what I want to shoot. I don't know what I'm going to get But I know I want it. This is an exciting time for taxitruth

Fucking Contex

The production phase is starting,I learned to edit video. I also interviewed some people. Their stories were amazing. I feel like the project is hauling ass. There is one problem, I need to introduce my media in the right contexe. Contexe is key, I have a very up front style, I'm sure but I know Ill have enough for a full dossier on the nfb That would be the bgining of a dream coming true.

Greyhound decapitation

decapitation on a greyhound, I am going to have nightmares, ever since I saw another taxi driver get his throat slashed I understand what Most Canadians don't. This place has just as much funk as everywhere else, hell the boom made more. Alberta is a breading ground for the devil. Except us Canadians swim in Ignorance. I would love to have the bus drivers of that bus be in my Film. Sounds Fucked I know but what happened on that bus was aaaaaaa, Scary! I wonder if the guy was psychotic, on drugs, maybe both. I wonder if this was the way he wanted to become famous. Did he get on the bus and know he was going to kill someone? DId he get all angry during the ride? WHat made him snap? That's what I want to understand cause working as a cabby in Edmonton I know I saw him delivering those papers at night. He was a paper boy, but he went mmmmmmm postal or what would you call that? Way beyond postal. He used sisors. FUck THat story is a prime example of the direction or society is going. Don't understand me, well read "learn to swim"

I hate begging

Today I approached an old fare, well she is a young girl but someone I used to drive around in the taxi. I remembered that she had a very urban underground story. She works in a mall. In a clothing store and a few months back she was assaulted at work. She was beaten with a hockey stick by a crazed meth head, who was actually gunning to get her pregnant co-worker. This little tiny hero of a girl stepped in between them and saved the women and her unborn child. I remember when she got in my car, she had a broken wrist with a cast on it and her back was all bruised up. This is a girl that weighs no more then 120 pounds. The meth head was out to get Satan's spawn. Fucking dirty meth heads. Well this guy is out of jail and he has already been caught trying to get back in the mall. I hope this young women agrees to work with me on telling her story to the masses. I feel that this project is so important and that the stories of the people who are affected by the shit of the world at work have a great perspective that should be told.

Just a little something something

Taxi talk introduces us to himself in his taxi and tells us the story of his beginnings and why he is creating the film. Then he begins to approach others that work in dangerous fields. Throughout the film specific camera angles will be used to represent the streets, the people the outcomes of the events. These angles will create a look and feel that corresponds to the way society actually feels about the characters and where they are going. Each interview will be a mini film in which the audience gets told the answers to a series of questions. The questions will take the worker through the scenario he or she wants to tell us about and then goes deeper and asks what we can do to change what is happening to our society and culture for the better. These people hold a key to dealing with the presence of a demon at night. A monster that most of us close are eyes to, these working people understand the situation far more accurately then a person who has never been exposed to it. These are the people whose stories need to be heard to open the hearts and minds of those not directly exposed to the Underground but none the less are affected by the consequences of the Urban Undergrounds actions.

GOD! is that it?

Canaday Day

I spent the whole day with my perfect little son. Now it's night time and I am on my way out to capture the essence of Edmonton celebrating the Birth of the nation. I hope to capture some brutal stuff. This is all for my new project. A film about how people can change the society around if they only try. Can't wait to show you.
