Movie #3 of 2018: The Third Industrial Revolution
Spike Jonze and Eddy Moretti attend the premiere of "Vice" season 2 at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles
I've spent the past few months alluding to big projects, and good things to come. I'm also aware that I've been self absorbed, impatient, and high strung….more so than usual, at least. I've had a lot riding on these past couple of months, and the next ones to come. My stress levels have been on high, and I can't say I've been taking the best care of myself. Taking the steps to transition into full time shooting, has taken its toll on my assisting business. Normally, when things get slow, the hustle kicks up, and I drum up assisting work. Sometimes I get by, sometimes I make marginal gains. There is no doubt that I've been in the "assisting trap", for quite some time. While I do pick up the occasional fashion shoot, it is still not enough. Well, I've recently been presented with some great opportunities. Opportunities not to be squandered. Instead of the usual "oh shit, I'm going broke.. must drum up work", I took out a loan, so that I could knuckle down and PRODUCE GOOD WORK. This is exactly what I've done. Now I will see what I can make of it. This has been my gamble, and it is not one to be taken lightly.
The first project, and largest in scope, rolls out today. I have been working with the Editor in Chief at Indiewire.com, in the creation of the 2013 Indiewire Influencers. I've shot 48 portraits, in New York, L.A., and Austin, of people who are reshaping independent film. I've shot the likes of Guillermo del Toro, Robert Rodriguez, Eddy Moretti, the founders of Vimeo…. the list goes on. 11 20x30 light jet prints were made, by Contact. (www.contactla.com They are awesome. I highly recommend them). Two 30x40 posters were also provided by Canon. Indiewire will be hosting a panel tonight, and my work will be on display.
I have a few more irons in the fire, and I will announce as appropriate. I'm not out of the woods yet. Not by a long shot. If you've ever rooted for someone who is busting their ass, to enjoy a modest amount of success, now is the time. These months are about as make or break, as it gets for me. In the meanwhile, have a look at the 2013 Indiewire Influencers: http://www.indiewire.com/influencers/
Welcome to my new column, More Eddy, by me, Eddy Moretti. Every Wednesday I’ll be here with questions, comments, and observations on all things, especially politics. The one thing I will not write about is food. Better brains than mine have already espoused on the subject; I’d rather just show up and eat the stuff. But until it finally grinds to an end in early November, I’ll be devoting this space to the US elections.
So what do I think about this election? First of all—and I’m not being hyperbolic here—it’s the most important one of our generation. Yes, that’s what we say every four years, but if you listen to the dangerous gibberish that gets spouted by the Tea Party and all of their mouthpieces, you’ll understand that the ideological stakes of this election are as high as they’ve ever been in modern American history. As always, voters face a decision, but this one is imperative in a way few have been: The choice fluctuates between preserving the “modern America” of the post-Depression period (the functioning, populist society represented by programs like minimum wage, Social Security, national highways, and so on), and alternatively re-engineering, or if you prefer de-engineering, these institutions once and for all. Nothing less than the core social complexion of America is at stake in 2012.
But the above is only true if you actually believe the impassioned rhetoric on either side, or if you’re impassioned about these issues. If you see the campaign and its byproducts as rote political theater, then it doesn’t matter if Obama or Romney wins; you’re probably a hardened cynic and I want to have a strong drink with you. But if you believe that underneath all the pointless day-by-day sniping over gaffes that constitutes 90 percent of our political discourse, there are some important differences between the parties, you need to plunge headfirst into the debate because the country is at a crossroads and your voice matters, believe it or not.
Whatever you might think about the Tea Party (I think a lot of things about it), their undeniable value lies in the stimulating (they’d hate that word) effect they’ve had on political discourse in this country: The issues they have brought to the fore are big ones and real ones and they deserve our attention—do we need to reduce the deficit? By how much? What role should government have in our lives? I said the same thing of the Occupy movement: They elevated the political discourse in America because they were successful in popularizing the notion of income-equality by capturing the wealth distribution of the country so memorably—there’s a 1 percent and a 99 percent and never the two shall meet. But then they took the summer off to go camping and smoke pot, so actually fuck them.
