Dear diary, Twitter verified me yesterday. Now I guess I can get really shouty on there.

“We create these clean narratives to make sense of our basically bewildering lives,” said Sarah Polley, the author of the new essay collection “Run Towards the Danger.” “Hopefully, over time, we can loosen our iron grip and let other complexities in.” nyti.ms/3rUzPPm

The brilliant cinematographer Iris Ng on her work on Stories We Tell. Her strange and wonderful creative sensibility drove the film into being.
"The film was about memory and storytelling and excavating the past, and we immediately realized that the feeling of Super 8 lent those moments an undeniable layer of nostalgia."

If you had any idea what a fool I am you’d be happy for me that I made a “metatextual ending” by accident! Going to go look up metatextual now. Wheeee art! Also it’s on Amazon Prime which I also didn’t know! Thank you @pmiscove
Anyone looking for a movie to watch should check out @realsarahpolley’s Stories We Tell. It’s a heartfelt and brilliant commentary on how our memories can be a double-edged sword. It also has one of the best metatextual endings ever. It’s currently on streaming on Amazon Prime.

What I like about this clip is knowing how ridiculous and funny the actors were being - and that without sound it comes across as a depiction of memory.... we had a ball being idiots and then others felt we were being profound. Satisfying on many levels!
Memory is presented in @realsarahpolley's Stories We Tell (2013) as it plays in the mind: as noiseless, choppy footage -- which is about as accurate as ungrippable memory allows.

An astonishing piece of writing on Stories We Tell which people seem to be watching today. This line made me weep: "She gave us her childhood and in return we supported her quietly, from afar."So grateful for @rhirschgarcia @BWDR #happymothersday brightwalldarkroom.com/tag/s…

The theme was a man enjoying doing things that were killing him. A kind of obliviousness in the way he lived. I think it was a metaphor for how mad I was at my Dad for smoking or some such immature nonsense...I've never been asked that. Embarrassing...#ARRAYNow

Directing advice: Someone told me once, at the end of each day, make sure to say thank you to each and every person you worked with. Also - be like a goalie. People are going to keep shooting the puck right at your head. Just. Keep. Stopping. The. Puck. #ARRAYNow

I try to just stay ambitious for the project I am working on, not for some overall vision of a career which I can't control anyway. Strategy always ends up being bad strategy in my experience. #ARRAYNow

Figure out what you can live with people knowing. Be brave. Show it to each family member alone, so they can tell you what they really think, before anyone else sees it. Know that you will be creating some fictions in order to protect people, and that's okay. #ARRAYNow

I think it was an essential concept from the beginning, based on the debates in my family about truth and its nature. Also My Dad and harry had such conflicting positions on this. It provided a natural tension in ways of viewing the past. #ARRAYNow
