Fuck The World

We shot everything right in the middle of the 2007 CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES, I had been planning for a while to shoot something called FUCK THE WORLD... The title was supposed to be about redemption, about letting go when life starts to choke, about escaping into the realm of the senses. FUCK FEAR, FUCK THE GRID, feel this moment as your last night on earth: A fevered dream that takes place on this mythical last night. For me this was the right kind of movie I wanted to make. Two years passed, and suddenly we were shooting, and the hills of LOS ANGELES were cremated, my idea had taken on an urgent new dimension. The fire burned for days, it burned to the edge of the Pacific Ocean until it ran out of things to burn. The canyons were black charred and looked very much like the end of the world, but the ocean never looked more beautiful... ...ever. The next morning I shot Faith on the cliffs of POINT DOOM, the waves were beating around us, and that's what FTW was all about after all.
