Love at age 25

Jennifer Montgomery describes her editing as chunking and mixing, a sort of moving around of ideas in space that come together serendipitously. She said "I should go to plot camp, " in response to her technique. This kind of collage and almost associative editing really makes sense to me, I appreciate her dedication and belief in her "fuck you" filmaking. The kinds of images as well as concepts I feel collage together and leave the viewer thinking, "wow, I knew there was a connection between gender roles and Wolf pack behavior, but how amazing to experience on screen." She was showing footage and image behavior that I've never seen, and with no apologies. I found myself, and this happens more than most, laughing at some of the material, and I don't know if it was because it was over dramatized or that I was uncomfortable with how brazen some of the images were. I could feel how it must have seemed to someone at the age of 12, I could feel how much at that time in our lives, we're making new connections...some connections are clear, some foggy and some kind of obscure but all very personal. At that age you aren't thinking about how the world might judge what you're doing, you just do what feels good, you do what is you.
