I have seen very few short films in my life, and very fewer that I have liked, and very fewest that I can even begin to emulate on any level in the creation of "Enciente," which of course as you have already figured out is an anagram for "C. R. Reilly." (I am not as funny as I think I am today, so please excuse me.) My first film, "Agnes: She is Missing," was essentially a parody of the quintessential short art film1, complete with Important Message. "Enciente" cannot be like that, at least not exactly, but I am not sure what I want it to be like. My mind keeps returning to Samuel Beckett's play "Play," which has a wife, her husband and his lover in urns talking very very quickly about the relationship among the three and then at the end of the play the play takes the D.S. back to the sign and repeats almost all the play over again with minute differences. I want to do something like that, but I am not sure how to without leaving in the urns, and I do not have any urns sleeping in the spare bedroom of my house, so I do not know.
I do have a germ of an idea based somewhat on "Play," but I would need a sevenish-year-old girl who can read well and talk quickly, and I do not even know a girl or boy in that age group, so hmmm.

1 So one of the two times I was a Comedy Sportz improv performance, I yelled out the suggestion "foreign art film," and the performers thought I meant "foreign film about art." Ha ha ha.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
