OBLIQUE STRATEGIES

This is about the slacker movie and an article I found here Slacker's Oblique Strategy

but some excerpts...

"But let me return to the notion of “oblique strategies.” To put it in the context of the film, Slacker consists of a series of interrelated episodes—mostly conversations, riffs, raps, and rants. They begin with its writer/director, Richard Linklater, playing a guy taking a cab from the Austin bus station into town and telling a silent cabdriver about a strange dream, a dream in which “instead of anything…going on, there’s nothing going on”—a harbinger of the movie’s contrarian discourse on the virtues of inaction, the virtues of, frankly, sitting around talking. Sitting around talking about creation rather than mindlessly “creating.”"

how might this relate to our studio? perhaps the first project was "mindlessly creating" now its the intention that we are sitting around talking about creating. -talking about creating relationships. (supposedly)
