The most recent Creativity Now conference from Tokion has just been and gone. PSFK have an interesting report on Mark Gonzalez and Harmony Korine’s “event”. Apparently, it’s not enough to call it a “talk” any more…
“Filmmaker and screenwriter Harmony Korine (”Gummo”, “Kids”) [was] joined by longtime friend and collaborator Mark Gonzalez who is often credited as being the man who brought street skateboarding culture into the mainstream. As soon as they took the stage, they proceeded to bring the crowd into a somewhat befuddling verbal punning game playing on famous people’s names (for example : “Fred was dying of Durst” and the less tactful “Heath was hanging off a Ledger”)”
An insightful quote about Korine’s film making is relvealed here:
“I’ve always been much more interested in making characters than plots…I don’t like traditional plots in movies, or even in peoples lives” No shit, Harmony.
