Personal issues have left my documentary in park at the moment but a move by our local government to take down the roadside memorials and replace them with a "halo" a metal band with the deceased's name and date of death has infuriated me so and has started the ball rolling again. These people just can not seem to accept that their idea of memorializing a loved one doesn't work for everyone. Some people can not bare to think that someone might think outside the box. No pun intended.
It will get done. Again as a result of a letter to our city council asking for these "Eye soars" to be removed, I find myself to have come off the fence and can not be objective in this film's message.
Initially my film was purely to examine the topic and issues around roadside memorials but now I have chosen to direct the film into a pro memorial stance. These are important messages which need to be heeded.
Society seems so afraid when we do something that does not conform and memorials are the most important act of non conformist behavior. The grief and the mourning is about the family, the loved ones and the friends.
