INT - The Muse (Still in Progress)
In the screenplay, this scene would take place in the morning, after the Writer and the Painter enjoyed a nice evening with his friends at his cottage. Deciding what to do with the storyboard and, of course, the delicate work of completing each female form.
INT - Next Steps
This captures the Painter thinking through how to implement his existential movie. Included is the [non-existent] novel that would be the basis for his movie, "Sexistential." The media are technically mixed, as I use a sharpie to write down the "next steps" on the bar napkin to the left. It is just a coincidence that the title of the book is cut off and the word "SEXIST" appears (although it seems to be cut off in the photo). You can see the full name of the novel on the spine.
INT - What's My Motivation?
A tribute to Kubrick, to making movies, and perhaps even a statement about the role actors play in movies (including existential erotic ones) from the perspective of directors. Notice the male and female actors are simply forms, in contrast with the more fully fleshed out (yet to be completed) characters in The Muse.
EXT - Cottage in the Tropics
This is where most of the action and the dramatic tension, between the Painter and the Writer will take place. At this point, the Painter will give his monologue about his enjoyment of women. The almost cthulhian look of the volcano, with tentacles formed in the lava and the smoke above...even the clouds and the palm tree...are pure accident.
