So Chocolae Cassette is my favourite film, at least until I see it. I've thought of it as a cool title, a terrible one, a clever one, too clever, dumb. It doesn't matter. Chocolate Cassette is a mantra, a promise. No matter how bad things are, don't worry. One day you will make Chocolate Cassette. The few friends I've told about i task what it is about, or ask if I've got any film equipment, or money for the production. This misses the point. Chocolate Cassette exists. If it was made it might not. It is the eleventh film in the top ten, the empty place at the table for the guest who doesn't show up, the prayer you don't say aloud. It is my all-time favourite film that does not exist, and the best tribute to it is to leave it out of this book.
