Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea what a powerhouse of talent this guy is, with his musical, design, writing, video editing and of course, his comedic prowess! It all seems so hard to do, it's so unique and I don't know anyone else who does it this well. I watched "Inside"and was hooked. I also enjoyed reading your musings about it and thoughts about art and all its related aspects. Some films about writers/art that I've watched recently and not-so-recently came to mind: "You hurt my feelings", "Forty-year-old version" (by Radha Blank), "American Fiction", "The Disciple". I've added "Inside" to this list I've enjoyed.
I haven't watched the The Outtakes yet, but I totally relate to what you've said about the level of effort that goes into making art. Oh, all those blood, sweat and tears! :D Years ago, when Tushar and even I didn't know any better, he'd expressed to me once how great it would be to just sit down and have the final, perfect version come out of a writer. Now, as one of my First Readers, he knows what it takes and how there are mistakes to be learned from and that there's also joy in ploughing through all those versions of drafts (although at times, he still gets to read only some revised version of the first!) :)
Anyway, loved your recommendation and looking forward to more Substack posts!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy The Outtakes when you get to them. I haven't seen those films you've listed, I'll have to give them a look :D Also the next post I'm working on is about how I prep for a reading so I hope you like it!
