delivery - a little metaphor

A day in the life of ... shot on a Nokia N95 mobile phone.

This is the job I did on weekends until not so long ago to help feed the habit. Its bread in them boxes.

After a while the job itself and my part in it began to read as a metaphor for the private universe that is one's art and life.

Hey there Anna ... great to hear from you! No one can pick a thing to bits like you my friend! Have been doing this on the weekends for the past few months - to help keep that HABIT fed. In many ways I love it - the body does its thing and the mind is free to wander. This little movie is I suppose me at work - in more ways than one.

Thank you ...

You get your things together, box, wrap it, pack it, hit that dark solo road, seemingly heading in the opposite direction to every one else, in the hope of deliverance? In the end you see that others have made it there too.

That's what it means to me. Liked it a lot!

Looks like a good gig.....

Not sure why something as banal as delivering boxes was so gripping to watch. And you Anna, seem to have the words to describe it best. THANKS.

Can't believe you shot this on a mobile phone! Wait til Scorcese finds out!

it's like the punchline of a 3.5 hr film. LOVE that squeaking wheel...almost like you've put humanity's still-warm cadaver on the gurney, on it's way to being processed like the food being delivered.  Eerie. In all the gritty industriality (that might be a brand new word!), the viewer compulsively seeks warmth, clues. It's cold, there's food (beard cover). There's movement from pt A to pt B...like our own fr cradle to grace? (Typo works too, lol) LOVE the ballet of the 2 trks at the end!

How how how do you do it?
