First Entry

Many of you said you would read my musings about film and my experiences in it if I posted them in the form of a blog... well, here goes...


First off, thanks for following a student filmmaker's difficult journey. I promise to deliver you the most cinematic experience with all its ups and downs, dramas and absolute silent moments. 


I'll start off this blog explaining the title I have chosen for this blog, and the display name "Reziser ZV." 


"Quixotic Imaginations of a Film Director" ... this pretty much sums me up. The word quixotic is actually one of my favorite words. When I was an English major for two years (studying in Southern Oregon University) I had an English class where the teacher infused such beauty into this word's definition. I related to it immediately. So using this word in my title reflects my past and past inspirations. English is still very much alive within me and I still turn to it and use it in my films - Shakespeare being the greatest example. 


"Reziser" is the Czech word for director. Usually if the director is female the word would be in the feminine "Reziserka" but I find that old fashioned and honestly, kinda silly. In Star Trek, women are referred to as "Sir" just like the men. I find this to be an accurate assumption of feminine vs masculine suffixes in the future. I already hear females being referred to as "actors" as opposed to "actresses." 


Anyway, now you know a little more about me. Stay tuned for lots more about my current film projects, including "It's a Joke" and a Sci-Fi I'm working on for my Directing 2 class as well as anything else I observe in the film world.
