Ok.. It's finally here! Here is the latest episode of Lost in LA inspired by the one and only James Cameron.. My thinking behind this episode? Apart from thinking it would be a hilarious idea.. I didn't just want it to be a parody idea of Avatar, I wanted to ground it in as much truth as possible.. I was inspired by the concept of 'struggle' behind 'creativity' itself. I think when struggle is present, it can't help but reflect in the thought processes of what the character's are going through. I wanted to capture the desperation and urgency that underlies taking action when it is driven by delusional aspirations. In this case, the delusional aspirations are entertaining the idea of James Cameron considering Candace for an Avatar sequel. Furthermore, juxtaposition is always very important in my work, Therefore I started the episode off as a cringey self-test that then turns into quite a relateable conflict between two friends. The irony then flips when 'Alex' who is doing Candace's make-up is completely delusional herself. It then becomes a case of the 'blind leading the blind' - a familiar Hollywood theme that resonates with the idea of trying to 'fluke' something. Those are my much beloved themes :)
