Robin Sherlock Holm is breathing Cinema, its been with him for his whole life. Film is the one and only thing, the thing that keeps him going. He's been watching film since he was born, but he haven't always been wanting to do film, when he saw The Evil Dead 2 he decided that Cinema was the path that he'd walk. So he started writing scripts, short film scripts, but never shot them. So he started watching even more film, seeing what was out there, and he stumbled up on Clerks and thats when he noticed that dialogue could be fun! So he started writing more dialogue based stories, but something was missing.. Then one day he saw Eraserhead, and his mind was blown. Eraserhead shattered his brain about what Cinema could be. And those three films created what Robin Sherlock Holms style would be, those three films created what his first feature film would become.

Cinema is the most fun when you're being taken on a ride, and not knowing what's waiting behind the next corner, always being surprised by the film.
I dont understand watching a film just for entertainment, you don't have anything better to do so you just watch a film? Not knowing the directors body of work, or who the Cinematographer is? Who wrote it? Is it an auteur piece? Where did this film come from? How? Why watch a film if you don't care about the things that goes around behind the camera? Where is the director coming from here? How does this film piece into the filmmakers filmography? Thats the Good part about Cinema, there's so much depth and history. Every film is a small contained universe. Thats the best stuff.
Life is freaking rough... Living is hard, its emotionally draining, its exhausting, its just really hard.. Especially when you care for another person, then its double rough, really. I just wanna go through life easy, but then whats the point?
The best thing a film can do is to leave me utterly speechless and wondering what the fuck I've been watching for two hours. What a fucking trip.
I just want to make film for the people who love Cinema.
