MAKING THIS FILM WAS A VERY FUN EXPERIENCE.
Going to Zuccotti Park slash Liberty Plaza Park on Wednesday was a wonderful experience for me. I was refreshed by the sense of community and the sense of pure dignity that people there possessed. I am certain that I will go back on Monday to participate further. I do not know exactly why I went there in the first place but I know that it was good. There are people there with specific political messages, but I am not one of those. I was there to contribute my energy.
I will not go to Occupy Wall Street and try to expound on politics or economics, leaning precariously on what frail tidbits I know about the tax code and the bailouts and the tea party to support me as a cogent revolutionary leader or organizer. I am an artist and my role is not to try to proclaim new economic plans. I do not understand money and I do not care for it. I would contend that nobody on either side of a political debate can with certainty speak about what happens to the money inside of all those vast white and gray buildings down there. So I'm not going to point fingers. I love everybody. I am going to Occupy Wall Street because it is enjoyable and people there are cool. I am going because it is the place in New York City right now where people are playing drums and dancing in the street and making art about more important things than money squabbles, such as ending all war and loving all humans. That is the message. Love is the message.
