Mindburst Hickocks is, minus the occasional deviation from form, a repository of ideas I have had but could not find a use for. They are free for you to take and run with. In fact, please do.

Also, we now feature assignments.

I would like to have a discussion.

What are systems by which we can create a film with an unreliable narrator when in film, the camera acts as the narrator? Is is inherently a betrayal of the audience's trust? Is it an act of cruelty? Can it be accomplished without pushing them away? In a way the filmmaker him/herself, as the controller of the screen's contents, is the narrator. In a book a persona can fill the space between the actual writer and the reader, but in a film even a voice-of-god narration is just a character, and the world is indisputably created by the filmmaker. Can you lie to your audience without being personally discredited?
