This story about filming THE TRIAL (one of the most visually striking movies ever made), man oh man.
I spent months designing the sets for all the interiors. We were only going to shoot the actual big othce and the streets of Prague and Zagreb for the last walk with the murderers. And during the time we were in Zagreb, my sets were to be built in the studios. The art director who was to realize my designs had made all the blueprints, everything was ready to go, and, the night before we were to leave for Yugoslavia, Mr. Salkind the elder came to me and said there was no money to build any sets of any kind. Now, that was the main body of the picture-totally designed for a special visual effect by myself, square inch by square inch. What to do? I was living here, at the Hôtel Meurice-it was late at night-wandering around in the sitting room, trying to figure out how to shoot without sets, this story in particular. And the moon is a very important thing for me, and I looked out of the window and saw two full moons. And then realized that they were the two clock faces of the Gare d'Orsay glowing in the night, and it was really a sign. I went down at four in the morning and got in a taxi and went to the Gare d'Orsay and went in. And from four in the morning until dawn, I wandered around the deserted old railvay station and found everything I needed for the picture. I discovered the world of Kafka: the oftices of the Advocate, the law court othces, the corridors—a kind of Jules Verne modernism, which seems to me quite in the taste of Kafka. .. The thing that gave it a particular force is that it's not only a very large place to work in, and a very beautiful place to photograph, but that it's full of sorrow-the kind of sorrow that accumulates in a railway station where people wait. ... I know this sounds terribly mystical, but really a railway station is a haunted place. And the story is all about people waiting, waiting, waiting for their papers to be filled. It is full of the hopelessness of the struggle against bureaucracy. Waiting for a paper to be filled is like waiting for a train, and it's also a place [of] refugees. People were sent to Nazi prisons from there. Algerians were gathered there.

Sorry you had to deal with that. Hopefully you were at least able to get the help that you needed in some capacity!

Great job with the percussion and fm-styled synths. This has a ton of character to it and just feels -good-

Making me want to go back and make my own track for this challenge now hehe

This song for me evokes the imagery of jellyfish royalty enjoying a relaxing afternoon dance. This is immediately followed by tea and crumpets whilst discussing how unfortunate it must be to be amongst the jellyfish peasantry.

Very light and jaunty, nice work!

This may sound reasonable at a glance. But really, it just gives insurance companies a thousand more excuses to charge you more money (remember when the ACA got rid of pre-existing conditions?)

How about instead we bring choice back to the "American Healthcare Market" by destroying it completely?
