It's 2am. Several countries in Asia are experiencing unimaginable trials because of the earthquake that hit Japan moments ago. I sympathize with them and I feel their fear. This is why I comfort myself with other ideas, because just like some people I know, I too, am paranoid.
Why do I go on writing about "sorta" fairy tales? I suppose I'm being selfish. Having also experienced my share of trials these past couple of months, I wish to hold on to sweeter thoughts. Hold on to very rare instances that somewhat still find their way in my head, repeating in slow motion. These are my short films, I am the cinematographer and I dictate the treatment of each frame.
Short film 1
In Her Silence
That barbecue stand in front of Eve's house is more than just savory isaws and sweet Fantas. Everyday Eve would buy a couple of isaws just to see her attractive neighbor. The ever-silent, smiley attractive neighbor who is slightly older than her, would give her chocolates, and very funny but decent letters; all written on scented legal sheets. And Eve's family also fell in love with this neighbor, by this time, neighbor gained the trust of everyone and was free to walk in and out of Eve's home. One beautiful afternoon, Eve woke up to find neighbor sitting beside her bed, watching TV, patiently waiting for her to wake up; so they may exchange letters again even if they are only inches apart. You see, neighbor remained silent, because she didn't have any other choice.
