Thompson,
Your thoughts on Prince wer...Dear Dr. E. Thompson,<br /><br />Your thoughts on Prince were stirring the following emotions in me! Hope we can help each other out on the Prince's discourse.<br /><br />I am an independent filmmaker living in The Netherlands, but filming mostly all over the world. Last year May I was shocked by the news I was suffering from a malictant brain tumor, which had to be removed immediately cause it could otherwise effect my pivotal mental/physical functions. It was as big as a chicken egg. As a dye hard Prince fan from the late eighties I found in the night before my 12 hour surgery his music & lyrics strengtening & and fuelling as a friend helping me in need. The weeks after in which I couldn’t endure anything on my head I could carry on with his music not through my ipod but they were on my own hard disk in my head. The ol’ skool kept me company, but also his newer stuff was getting me on my feet again. ( I am well again and WORK(!,) with a drive like never before) <br /><br />Documentary is my field in which I made my mark. All my doc’s are personal quests in which the undercurrent is always what people move, their believe system, passions and dynamics. My feature doc Smile & Wave was called by Variety’s Ronnie Scheib a thought- provoking docu, which bellies pic’s tight, concise pacing and stunning clarity set in Afghanistan, which shows peacekeeping as a contradiction in terms. <br />Beyond Reason, a friend on Death Row, got another raving review by Variety’s Ken Eisner, who called the doc: thoughtful, disturbing and topflight material, far from a simple tract a must see for North Americans. My last film LIVING THE DANCE, was broadcasted last year october (tv version)and the feature version will open next year 2011 in the Dutch and European theatres and shows how thirty years of passion for dance has influenced young children who dreamed about becoming a star in ballet. After all my trials and tribulations it’s about time for my own passion: Prince and how his music has influenced people around the world. Like you I am indepent and want to portray in an independent fashion.<br />I’d like to invite other fellow Prince hard core fans with an interesting story to tell from other countries. Independent from Prince or Paisley Park Entertainment. European/Asian/Japanese/Indian/African (?) And in which way has Prince been an influence! Music is internationally understood, a language which is understood and triggers our senses. His eclectic styles ranging from sensual love ballads to melodic but stirring guitar solos. His lifestyle sexual liberating at first but often confusing, erratic but alway making us watching him on our toes. He hates being interviewed, cause 'everything I have to say is in my music’. <br />Still I want to confront him with how fans around the world live with him. He's lately more introspective and shows up in talkshows, giving tickets away...so maybe he will be more perseptive about participating in a challenging project like this. <br /><br />I wish you succes with finding Dez Dickerson! (Alex Hahn couldn't find him.) Hope we can stay in touch! Please spread the word I am looking for people who have a story to tell about Prince in their life! Maybe you know people who have useful suggestions for main characters to which I’m open. I know he’s giving an extra Madison Square Garden concert on January 18th, which I will attend (5th row!) I don’t know where you reside, but I ‘d love to meet you and talk about the project at hand. From January 16th I stay 7 nights in New York afterwards I am in my hometown, Amsterdam and can be contacted and travel to where ever you are! I would be thrilled to meet you (doesn’t need to be long!) for a prepatory conversation. Hoping to hearing from you soon!<br />Marijke Jongbloed, filmmaker - m.jongbloed1@tele2.nl - www.marijkejongbloed.com (not up to date due to webmaster is travelling in India)marijkejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474409204676096249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692373565619855371.post-208257361474946802011-01-02T10:16:05.616-05:002011-01-02T10:16:05.616-05:00Let me know what you think of Dez's book..
