I direct films under the moniker “J.K. Wang,” and my film work primarily (but not exclusively) revolves around experimental film and slow cinema.
Nowadays, I often follow a politically anarchist model for physical film production. Decisions on set are made through group consensus, and everyone is treated and credited as co-directors. Mechanical crew positions, expensive equipment, and budget are limited or eliminated. There is often little to no script, minimizing creative predetermination and allowing us to freely find the film together on set.
The goal is radical joy in the process: anti-capitalist, anti-hierarchical filmmaking affirms that the means is as important as the end. I hope, at least in my little production space, to make the word “work,” like in the Anarresti language, synonymous and indistinguishable from “play.”
