sofia coppola kept a book of every image, note, and scrap that inspired her. i think i revisit that book more than i think about rewatching her films. we’re so obsessed with the final thing, the post, the frame, that nobody shows the mess before it. and honestly that’s the part i actually want to see more of. where did the idea come from. what were you looking at the week before it clicked. i want the process to be part of the work, not something you hide until it’s “ready.” #filmmaking #creativeprocess #artistarchive
