Alan Rudolph says this about his work:

People have mentioned that my paintings are reminiscent of my films. It makes sense, all ink from the same well. And better my films than someone else’s, I would think. Basically, I’m self-taught in each field. When you don’t know better, everything is possible.

Paintings have always influenced my visual and emotional outlook. Especially mysterious and atmospheric ones. And ones with movement or humor. Early French moderns left a big imprint. Retro American paintings set in big cities seem to attract. As do anonymous moments surrounded by something familiar, yet not.

I am able to analyze this much: painting and filmmaking use many similar creative muscles. The actual experiences, however, are polar opposites. Making a movie is like being a sugar cube on an anthill. Painting is solitude. You don’t have to explain to anyone, not even yourself. Only when ideas present themselves do I understand my function: capture this thing and hold on for the ride.
