Keep it in the Streets is a film dealing with people on the streets of Vancouver. It started with a manifesto and ideas around the urban environment. It is based on personal inspirations using non professional actors. I wanted to find something between fiction and documentary .

[edited text]
What did you shoot with?
Digital cameras like SLRs, GH4, a Sony camera and lots of photos shot on film; different looking shots that say something about the process; even if unconscious it still looks appropriate to the project (rough collage)
How specific to Vancouver is it?
It explores the city, we hit every neighbourhood; people referred to it; relevant to people who don't know the city.
Does Vancouver have a personality?
Open relaxed; after moving back from Paris, however, it appeared bland, (but this may be an oversimplification)because, nature wise, it is unbeatable.
Steve notes that there is wish fulfilment of the interviewees; where the input from the people involved are active in the construction of the film. This approach to collaboration interests Sam. The subject has an influence on the outcome. How can this be applied to current or future projects?
I would like to keep the openness and willingness to engagement. I also want to shake up Q&A format; now working with format for someone to work in their own space and allow them to 'wax poetically' about an aspect of their lives that interests both of us, (feelings may be expressed through the movement of their hands, the environment they inhabit; I am interested in in abstracting the process. I would like to exercise a stronger form of authorship. In this film we were timid (with each other) at points.
One of the reasons I am here is to develop methods in which I can collaborate but still have autonomy. Looking forward I would like to use writing as a tool, think through writing, using it at as a tool to map something out. Developing a practice which allows me to figure things out. Create a space to influence what I want to make. So that writing is something more than an illustration or description of my work I can bounce the filmmaking off the writing from place to place,
