• I choose its name : " please stay away from the red line "

First of all , I choose its name. Before writing the film script , I am actually engaged with the subject . I do not want to expand it just in my bedroom . Therefore I start to walk , I get on a taxi and I observed my environs carefully .
I don’t pass by anything without attention. I am like a thief. I thieve. Suddenly I see some events wink at me to participate in my film. I write down their names quickly .
I keep them in the fridge and check them out the next month. Most of them have lost their quality and taste and also the freshness . I lead them into the recycle bin .
I put the healthy ones on the floor. I want to solve out my puzzle . I strongly opposed to the time . I want to make a short film . I do not know what I am doing right now, I just know that I am doing the best . I do want to make it. I strongly become passionate and I use my camera with the help of the form . Because of doing all this with pencil , I start to erase my mistakes while editing .
From the beginning , I knew that some mistakes can not be erased . My movie is made. I really enjoy watching it .

I choose its name : " please stay away from the red line " , a sentence that is heard by the personals of the train station . If you step out the line , you might be hurt or even lose your life . It is also practical in our real life. If you step out the lines , you might be punished by law , you might be hurt , lose your job and social position or even your life .
Custom - morality - politics - religion or even the governmental issues have circles around themselves that are thinner and also more red in our country .

Our hero is really a lonely person . he is honest . As he says: he is depressed and lonely , so he is also a negative person . He thinks this loneliness is due to his living condition . in his viewpoint most people and coincidences are bitter, boring , monotonous and sometimes pathetic . he becomes more and more far from the others .
He is silent . he shows himself as a dumb person . he is a mute person . Although before he break his sweet mug , we hear his voice along the film that is so critical .
He is also so curious and watchful like me . My friends say that it is me .
Suddenly you feel that his strong attention towards his world makes him separated from the others ? He cares more about dark colors . nothing can be find unless disappointment and bitter taste.
It is a black and white movie . A black and white movie for a black and white man. This movie may be about you . i told you that this film is about me, about my friends , the ones that the environs decides for them instead of being able to decide for themselves . I wish I could understand the meaning of “the world belongs to me ” . ( “ not I belong to the world ” ) .
Perhaps after watching this movie, you also say that this character is very special and unique but I say that it is not . In my viewpoint everybody is unique and special , you just need to gather all their best seconds together to reach my word , just omit some parts and rasp it well .

This film is about a real person . This film is unreal . I just remind you that there is a narrow border between the reality and dream and this film is full of lies with a positive intention . This film doesn’t have any message, any formal story . It is not an amazing movie so the audiences are the ones that are related to the cinema . the ones that are interested in the movies as an art not like my mom .

I do not want to talk about my film anymore because if you talk about your work very clear, it is like pouring cold water on your film. in this way , you limit the framework of your film for the audiences .
It is better to let the film talks . It is really interesting to know your viewpoints . I want to know more about the way I think  and also my film .
