Howdy!
Mardaweh Tompo here. I'm glad to be progressing on Evicted we are just now getting the nuts and bolts of this project underway and it has been profoundly liberating. I can't wait to write Evicted and put so much I've learned as well as going to learn into this project with my friend Samuel. We are just going to keep writing until the project finishes.
Thanks,
Mardaweh

Evicted's plot structure has been written. The story changed so much it was bizarre to see what characterization can do to a story when you thoroughly develop the characters and allow for them to tell their story in depth. I as the writer sat back and listened and reported Stone telling the story. It was so magnificent. I finished the lot for now by focusing on Stone and sent it to a friend in LA for review. She dug the start. I will work on strengthening the plotline more along the way while reading Syd Fields Screenplay.
Thanks,
M

Hey Ya'll
Lots of stress happening this time of year but just doing some work to prep the Kollektive and get it built.  Artistically, Financially, Technically into a real business that services us all with great expression of being.  Poemsfromatexan is the poetry site of me, the founder. Actors are poets only when they step away from "portrayals" and begin to live in the undercurrent that immerses the human state of being. Hence why I feel uncomfortable with the title filmmaker,writer,director,actor etc. those are superficial superlatives that do not denote the extent of what my work hopes to accomplish as well as the work of those who join. I am a poet, most importantly a gadfly in the truest Socratic sense. Shit stirrer literally if you will in modern terms. That is the spirit of my work it should make you pause and reflect.


Here are some of my films and performances in another form, http://poemsfromatexan.wordpress.com/.

I will bid you adieu,

Howdy Folks,
I am working on Evicted as we speak. It is awesome so far. I don't want to get too technical so I'll spare you the details. I am going for an instinctive piece of film that shows the lyricism and musicality of industrialized life through this short piece. That's what all my films hope to achieve. I think that's the "magic" that is in movies. It reminds us of the" magic"
within all of us.  I believe that is true authenticity.  I am absorbing everything like a sponge and it may be a while before I will post again as I will be deep in exploration of my subconscious but when we meet again, it will be with a complete script.
Merci

This is the first official blog post for Kollektive Films. I'm grateful to start this long term project along with my best friend here in Texas. It is an honor to resurrect my career as an artist. As of now, I am doing a lot of work on Transcendent Expressionism as a viable acting theory in addition to a film theory so that is what is holding up the writing aspect of Kollektive. Once I reach a point of stability, I will later move on to working on "Evicted". It will be an honor to work on this short film the next couple of years. For me, having to relearn how to be has been a long and humbling,road. One full of many a fuck up, an embarrassment, and worry. Having the Kollektive has been a dream of mine for as long as I remember.  I just never believed in myself enough to make it a reality, til now. It has taken me a long time to commit to this but we are finally here.
Welcome, Bonjour, Wilkommen, Hola, Howday!
