The Dider Show

First I would like to thank Matt, for his wonderful short movie that is Lobster.

I really enjoy his work on my way to Birmingham as I got into the wrong train and discover the onboard entertainment platform.

One option was full of shorts movies, and I devoured them all, well most of them during the 1hour and a half journey.

I love the narrative, the cinematography, the grading, and paste. Really great work and I hope to see more of his creativity soon.

Matt studied graphic design and photography, worked as Assistant Director on This is England, you have worked on commercial projects for Barclays, Vodafone, Budweiser, Fiat and Samsung and many more.

Matt also directed ‘Trimming the Fat’ starring Matthew Horne (Gavin & Stacey) for BBC Films, wrote and directed ‘Straw Donkey’ starring Joe Thomas (The Inbetweeners).

This episode with Matt Huntley was inspiring to me, and if you into filming or thinking of directing your very own short movie one day, then this episode may bring you some lights or advice.

I really enjoyed the conversation, Matt is a lovely bloke and a very nice person with such a calm and soothing voice, I hope to buy him a pint soon and chat further.

I hope you will enjoy it too.

I ask Matt.

How many awards and reviews did Lobster get in the end? I count about 15.

When did you decide, or when you knew you wanted to be a director? Was this your first choice for your life?

How did it take you till you could live from what you love doing? Did you have a part-time job at the start?

The idea for the movie is down to your personal crushes you had when I kid on summer camp holiday, where was that, in the UK?

So when did you decide to do lobster?

What the script wrote itself from memories, how many drafts did you do till the final draft was ready for filming?

Matt Lobster is running just over 5 minutes, how much filming does this actually represent in days or weeks?

Was it fun? stress-free or a nightmare to put together?

What is your favorite work?

Any new future you’re excited about right now?

What would say to inspire young directors out there in terms of advice of getting their career off the ground?

Do you have any morning routine?

What do you do to relax? Do you meditate?

Any books you recommend?

Any movies, documentary, or series you recommend?

Bonjour, what makes us happy, or what we think will make us happy? What does happiness means to us?

How much money do you think you need to consider yourself happy? What type of car, what type of life, what type of holiday will give you this everlasting experience of being happy?

It looks to me human, down to genetics and evolution are not program to be happy, we need to know where that big lion is so we can avoid it, we need to know where loud noise comes from to be sure we can be ready if something comes as an outside threat.

Does success will bring us happiness, but then what success mean to you? A Big house, dream job, dream wife and beautiful kids, sportscar, private plane, is it fame?

What if, all these things, which most are materials things when attained robes us from our lives and demand constant energy into the future and our goals to the detriment of living and experiencing the present moment?

And Darren talk about positivity and positive thinking, in the mention the big scam that is the Secret book, which I too sadly, felt for a few years ago, thinking that by just thinking of a desire thing I wanted in my life, acting as if I already had it would be sufficient in the attainment of such desire good or lifestyle?

As I read How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius by Donald Robertson, one thing reaffirmed my now changed belief that death is ok and not as scary as I thought. Death is part of life and is to me only a new beginning to another universe.

We should practice losing the things we hold dear to us, to remind ourselves how grateful we are. We should be grateful for things we already have not and not stress over things we desire.

Darren talks about phones, how much they have saved us when lost trying to find a location with a map app to get to someone’s wedding, and not be frustrated for the lack of battery because we forgot to plug it in.

Darren mentioned something I read somewhere else. The first light build could actually last a very long time, and the manufacture got scared that people would not come back to buy more, so they made it last less.

What I enjoy in the book is the honest truth that Darren shares and I think anyone will take something from it, even a little happiness too.

What I would like to offer in guidelines in a bullet point from Darren’s book and my own experience (even a limited one so far)

Don’t get upset on what is not within your control,

Control your state of mind, the only thing human has full control of,

Turn any negative into a positive with every situation, see the silver lining,

Train yourself to the loss on what you hold dear so you can be grateful for it,

You’ll never regret falling in love. Do so over and over again.

Don’t think to get somewhere in life or buy something you desire will bring you fulfillment or happiness,

Be grateful for what you have now,

Plan for success. Prepare for failure.

Become an active member of your society, join a community group,

Find what you love doing and do it daily,

If you experience an unhappy feeling, know that they will pass, do something like exercise, reading a book, going for a walk, meditate, watch a funny movie, play music, listening to your favorite track…

Lasting sexual satisfaction is very hard to attain, trying to shag everything with a heartbeat, compulsive porn watching, or obsessive gambling is not the answer.

Think before buying or engaging in an activity, is this going to fulfill my desires, or only temporary?

When people insure you, try to understand what good or harm they thought would come of it?

Don’t beat yourself up when you make a mistake or fail, you will learn something,

Death is only part of life and is totally normal part of life,

When you start your day, be prepared you may accounter plain idiots, rude and angry people, it’s ok don’t let it change the way you are feeling or acting today.

To remain tranquil and comfortable would deny you your growth.

To remain happy would stop you from flourishing.

It’s all going to work out just fine,

Does your morning routine looks sound like this:

Waking up, Hit the snooze button faster than the speed of light, get back to sleep for another 5 minutes which turns into 20 minutes, realise I’m going to be late, rush to the bathroom and your flat mate or family member is already been there since yesterday, get dressed, rush out the door forgetting you packed lunch, if you even managed to get it down after your suppose I only got to the pub for one drink, unfortunately turned out to be 4 and a few shots, realise that everyone on your way to work is making your life hell by moving you further away from your naive thought that you could still make it on time to work even if this would only be possible if you were the owner of a rocket ship and turn a 40 minutes car journey into mere minutes...?

Or does it look like this:

Wake up, grab your phone, check facebook or instagram, look for interesting stories to share on my profile, maybe comment right beneath some nasty comment from someone you don’t even know but you are committed show him and the world your wisdom and what you say matters or should and you everyone must like your post?

Do you refresh your emails to check if somehow your phone left out an important spam email?

Do you find yourself judging the runners on your way to work, telling yourself, well look at this idiots running around like a lab-rat...running is bad for your knees, I will only start running if I’m been chased by zombies in a apocatilic world.

Well I have done all the above at some point in my life, and I wasn’t in a great place.

Who has experienced those internal voices forever judging every single action you take on a regular basis, those arguments you finally won from 2 to 2 weeks after the actual conversation took place, or the great prepared speech you had prepared to find that on the spot you either forgot most of it but that the other party said something you miss out and like a house of cards you plan which you thought was brilliant has just come down crashing.

Mental health is coming out of the closet, it touches everyone at some point of another, it’s totally ok we should not judge each other, this world needs more love and compassion.

This book is a great read about mental health, I can totally empathise with Mark story on many accounts, and his book come on my lap although virtually when I needed a book like this to help me understand my head a little better and the behaviors I was undertaking to try to block out bad, sad uncomfortable feeling, and tried for a long period of my life to become a stone and so I would not feel anything.

Emotional management again, is something I struggle with for years and this book answered and gave me awesome insights into my journey towards true happiness. I hope you find within this book some of the answers you are looking for, I think you will find some, and as most of us, we can only carry on for our journey to enlightenment, wisdom, happiness and success is a never ending one.

Hello, Hello it’s time for another Dider Show - I love this jingle, what do you think?

I’m sorry I had a few shitty days, I have been a tiny bit down the past 2 days, for no good reason really. My podcast just made the top 5, and is currently ranked at 11 from thousands of podcast. I should be proud and not depressed.

What I can I say? I know how to pick a friend if they are down, as most humans, we are awesome at helping others, but sometimes we can not help ourselves.

What do you do to get yourself out of a shitty mood? Exercise, music, talking, taking a ride in your car?

Bonjoy my lovelies,

This week, I have a little treat, if you have small children you should definitely read them this awesome book; Fantastic Mr Fox, which tells the tale of a small fox family been hunted down by farmers. The story is only short, but it’s well written and had me from start to finish.

I love the easy read and the audio book narrated by and Irish Actor and comedian Chris O’Dowd is fabulous, I loved the irish accent, who doesn’t?

I will not spell the story for you, just get a copy and enjoy.

https://www.amazon.fr/Fantastic-Mr-Fox-Roald-Dahl/dp/0142410349

When I was in London last month, I had the pleasure to come across those short fearure films and I have contacted the director which will be on the podcast soon to talk about it, I’m so excited.

First Lobsters by Matt Huntley, is the story of a lonely man in a caravan park that just found his soulmate, his neighbour Tanya. He drifts off into a fantasy about their future together. Everything would be perfect...if it wasn't the happy ending Dave was hoping for.

I loved it, it’s well film and you are in love with Dave from the start, even when you realised he’s starting to lose his shit.

Watch it and let me know what you thought:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7958016/

The second short movie is Lazy Boy by Dave Redmand, the story of a man who buy a chair who turn out to be a time machine. It’s just brilliant, again well thought out and the director will be coming on the show to chat about it very soon, and I’m very excited about it.

Bonjour my lovelies,

This week, we have Frances Trussell, Mindfulness transformed my experience of life and I'm passionate about making it accessible to all. I've taught mindfulness meditation to many hundreds of people in most settings imaginable.

She has appeared on ITV1's Sugar Free Farm as Mindfulness Coach, she’s a regular speaker at events, such as the Mindful Living Show, 'Wellbeing on The Lakes'...

She love to help people and has been so fortunate to work with such a diverse client base, from high profile stars & CEO's, school children to people in their 90's and everything in-between. “Whatever stage we are in life we all face the same human challenges and can all have a richer experience through mindfulness”

He recently wrote her book: “You are not your thoughts” and I loved it, and I could not help but to reach out to her to have her on the show and chat about her life struggles and newly find life she adores and want to help others.

I ask Frances the following:

What does Mindfulness actually means?

How did you end up taking this line of work?

What was your tipping point for your to make necessary changes in your life?

I love meditation, do you or did you use an app like headspace?

How long did it take you to write your book: We are not your thoughts?

How did you manage to get a publisher for it?

What do you do for fun?

Any books you can recommend to me? Books that have shaped you?

Any new project you're working on now?

Books Frances recommended to me:

The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle:

https://www.amazon.com/Power-Now-Guide-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1577314808

Practical Zen: Meditation and Beyond - Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Skinner-Foreword-Shinzan-Miyamae/dp/1848193637

Bonjour my lovelies,

Do you feel depressed on a regular basis, or just get that monday blue, especially in winter times?

I’m prone to be more depressed in winter times, I do not feel like myself in the dark winter months, and it got worse the older I got. And of course I’m like anyone, I get a bit low from time to time, I just manage it better now than I used to.

Anyway, last week I was a bit low, and I thought I would call a friend to lighten my mood a little.

So there I am, dialing my mate phone:

Hello, how are you doing you old fart? ( Yes I do say that to some of my friends, actually I love it when my friends insult me, I love tough love.)

Anyway, the reply was, Nah mate, I’m having a shit time right now, so I inquired into the matter further and asked him what was up.

After listening for about 20 minutes about his latest relationship problems, with my following advice on the matter, which he totally discarded (I found out later that month) I decided, hell shit I’m just going to ring another friends so me to I can vent my lows even if trivial (they did appears to look that way now)

My second friend, which I video called instead preceded by crying and telling how low she felt and how life was all fucked, how much she messed up the night before and how her past boyfriend was a dick.

So I went to work, and listen, gave the best advice I could give, told her that she felt rubbish most likely because of the chemical unbalanced in her bloodstream because of hey heavy alcohol consumption of last night session, that is wasn’t real, that like me when one aspect of our life is not doing too good, we all tent to dramatise and think everything is either fucked or lost, or both, when actually it is not as bad as we say it is, I guess we all do this to get some attention from time to time, like if all we are looking for is someone to give us a big hug and tell us it’s going to be alright.

Well, after those two phone conversations, I totally forgot how down I previously felt, helping others just override my own very trivial life issues, I even laugh about it, but the cure was right there staring at my bald head of a face. When you feel low, a little bit depressed, try to phone a friend who you may suspect is having a tough time, hell phone an old friend you haven’t heard for a long time, I guess when you help others you forget about your own issues, because most of the time, in hence sight, there are no big deal.

In fact problems, is the only way we can grow, so I try to welcome them now, and rather then find something to hide behind or use alcohol or drugs like before, to lower the pain down, I try to own it first, let it pass through me, because I know I’m far stronger than this feeling, how ever tense, difficult or sad. The feeling will pass just as it came.

I love you, you can do this, and thank you for listening, or reading.

Hello my lovelies,

This week I got two treats for you, first is the book Man's Search for Meaning from psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir who describe the of what life was in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival.

Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.

Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.

The second treat is this documentary that made me cry for the human spirit through out, just an amazing experience, and an awesome happy ending.

This Oscar-nominated documentary by Lucy Walker is about the Brazilian artist and photographer Vik Muniz and his work with the "pickers", or catadores, who eke out an existence scavenging scraps from Rio's colossal city garbage dump.

The title avowedly refers to TS Eliot's poem, but what Walker thinks she's showing us in her handful of dust is not fear, but life-affirming hope.

Some might find the movie's take-home optimism naive and Muniz's attitude itself open to question.

But this is undoubtedly a bold raid into an unknown territory – both geographic and conceptual – that the prosperous classes prefer not to think about. (This is a review from the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw which I copy and paste because it explain far better than I ever could) and here is the link: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/feb/24/waste-land-review

Bonjour my lovely listeners,

This week, I would like to share with you my discontent with social pressure that you should be and possess such and such by the age of 30 or so.

I’m 39, I do not own a house yet, I do not have a family of my own, I do not have what most people would call a normal job, and I do not care about any of it.

I’m currently thinking of vagabonding for a full year, and I can’t not wait. Of course I will be keeping up my podcast while traveling, which I think is going to be an amazing experience.

I do not feel like I wasted my life, on the contrary, I feel I have gained an amazing, life changing personal experience by moving to the UK at the age of 19 years old, doing the music band things, work in so many restaurants and bars, I have been a dessert maker, sandwich maker, a pot wash, postman, landscape gardener, a carpenter, laundry worker in hospital, hotel night watcher, and I keep adding to the list still today, because I love to try new things.

Today if you listen to what society demands of us, it’s far to say I am considered a failure and should get a grip, get real, get a real job (whatever that is) and settle down to make a baby with someone I will sure enough consider a total stranger 5 years down the line, and be content and feel lucky, because compared to other people I got loads of great things going for myself…?

F*** That, I am living my life the way I see fit, I am living my life on my own terms, I am on top form and I feel I am just getting started in my new found life.

As you know, I quit smoking last month, now I quit alcohol, I don’t smoke joint anymore, I stopped taking cocaine, I am not wanking as much as I was, and I mean far less, it’s getting well under control, I ‘m actually now been an addict to sports, as I exercise furiously every single day, and I feel unbelievably great , like the best I ever felt in my life.

We have one life, one journey, to find, to discover ourselves, understand who were really are, what is our purpose, our gift to the world, you all have a part to play, we all are special in our own unique way, yet at the same time we are a tiny dot of atoms arranged in a particular order.

In our journey we may suffer, but we will also experience great joy, love even, and only for that, even if ephemeral, as It may not last, would you swap a few months of that special relationship with that person for anything, after all love can move a mountain, can bring the best in some, and it can bring to disappear when one loses it, but then do we really value something only we it is taken from us?

I believe in the people we meet along the way in life, we keep something from them, and in turn you give something for them to keep, and we also learn something about ourselves, therefore failure when something has been learnt is never a failure, but necessary for us to grow further as a human being,

Go out my friend, try new things, fall in love, let yourself go and be free of any limitation you once gave to yourself, you are beautiful and the world awaits you, right now.

I love you and you are enough, now go experience your life in all its forms, do what you always wanted to do, just ask of life what you really want.

Thank you

Didier
