'Last Patrol' has failed to gain NZFC premier shorts development. The project did meet the goals of the scheme and our team was praised for their talent. Other teams though were further along with development of feature projects in connection to the shorts they submitted. These teams were quite rightly prioritised for support. I look forward to hearing the announcement of the shortlist in the coming weeks and wish all the best to the artists supported.
Failure is obviously a hard pill to swallow but it is an integral part of the creative process. Creativity begins with a spark. From that spark we work it in a direction. When that direction fails to gain traction it is time to take a reading of the work. The work might be wrong but creativity isn't. Creativity is about finding solutions that make more sparks, that grow more creation. I wonder, if not to a short film, where this spark is leading?
