AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Simply put: A Zeitgeist Campaign is the act of injecting a new thought process into the existing collective consciousness.

It may be something that’s already there and needs to be brought to the surface or a different way of looking at something that is actively in the zeitgeist and offer a new perspective of it. The intent being the ripple effect of thoughts or actions that can be gained from a simple discussion on how we look at and talk about issues.

**Warning: The following is littered with spoilers. It is recommended that you do not read unless you have seen the film**

I would first like to mention that I have not read, nor do not intend on reading the novel Atonement by Ian McEwan My notes here are specific to the film directed by Joe Wright with screenplay written by Christopher Hampton.

That said. I would like to congratulate Messers Wright and Hampton on a wonderful first act, or first 70 minutes or so. All scenes that take place in 1935 are beautiful and the story and is well crafted with excellent time jumps and withholding of information until just the right moment. It was excellent filmmaking.

The writer’s strike is over. The picket lines are gone. People are getting back to work I think now is a good time now to examine what’s happened here in Hollywood over the past three months or so and see if we can piece together some of the more interesting facts to get to the bottom of all this, for as it is with many disasters, the true meaning and intention can often be seen clearly with the benefit of hindsight.

Good Morning Everyone!

It is the dawn of a new blogging cycle. My name is Austin Wilkin and I am a screenwriter and filmmaker in sunny southern California, Los Angeles to be more specific. Hollywood U.S.A.

Although movies are my first passion, writing is what I cannot help but do. Since I was a child I have been writing short stories, poems, faux journals of other people, whether real or imagined. Writing happens.
