This is the first time I have headed directly from one script and to the next - without being forced to it by necessity. But I had entered the vacuum of having-just-finished-a-big-thing and was going a little bananas, and so my cure was to readily throw myself into the next big thing. In this thing, which I will only speak in the most broad terms so far, I at last embrace my interest in quantum physics and pair it with my passion for drama. I see some overlapping ideas between the principles of drama and some of the theories of quantum physics - and this is exactly what I am going to explore in this new thing.
Quantum physics are mind-winningly fascinating and completely spins your world around - as Niels Bohr said: "If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet." And some of the basic concepts are not that difficult to get understand for a layman - apart from them contradicting fundamental stuff we assume in ordinary reality. In my next life I want to be a scientist!
So right now I am both researching a lot of stuff about quantum physics and fleshing out the basic idea of the drama - the main characters, their basic conflict, the structure of the script and of course fumbling around in the dark to get a grasp of the hidden meaning of it all.
In all this it is also a joy to gang up with an old friend to explore this world. Danish film director Thomas Bjerregaard has some of the same fascinations as I do with the whole quantum-thing, and he is reading as I write, and will look into the best ways to get this produced as a film. Maybe as a Danish-Greek co-production, which would be really great for a lot of reasons.
