Romanian Hearts
As Molly and I make our way through hours and hours worth of Romanian footage, we often come across shots of the dangling hearts our busdriver had in the front window in our Rock n' Roll bus. They were red, fluffy and said I love you on them.
Back in Romania, they struck me as funny. When I got on the bus in the morning, they would be the first thing I noticed. At the end of the day they seemed to say good bye to all our team members as we disembarked. I never thought of them much except that they seemed out of place. We had an insane amount of work to do, dogs to spay & neuter and a movie to shoot. It was a gritty, fast paced world. What were those fluffy hearts doing there?
But now, as I am trying to think of an open for our movie, it is those very visual striking red hearts that keep dangling in my mind as the perfect symbol of what our trip and this movie are all about: Love!
That's what got us there and that's what the Romanian street dogs taught us.
And suddenly the red hearts don't seem so out of place anymore. Instead, rather perfectly placed. Leading our team to complete our mission and leading me to the open of our film.
