I was just commenting on the trend I've noticed. I really don't care. I mean, I still love all the Troma films. i'm a huge fan.... Though not a fan of the intentionally bad trend. I don't mean to side track, I'm just scatterbrained.

I'm in a Two Year Program. I think this is probably all you need, as long as you remember to learn the technical stuff and the legal stuff, meet some people. No reason this should take four years. Also, you learn more on the set. www.craigslist.com is a great site to find really crappy movie...

I should point out that I am a huge Troma fan, think Tromeo and Juliet and Troma's War are a couple of the finest B-Films ever.... BUT I think They are just phoning it in, going with what sells, and they are drifting on the sex and violence instead of being genuinely creative. Just showing...

Movies that might be good, probably are bad, and that you feel upset when you say you enjoy them. Or, you take it with pride but still feel you have to defend yourself. I've got quite a few (I am a huge Godzilla fan, after all) but my biggest has to be Street Fighter with Raul Julia. Absolutely...

Let me see.... Toy Story (after Buzz attempts to fly, and breaks his arm off), Grave of the Fireflies, The Lion King (when I first saw it, when little), and probably many more.... Actually, movies effect me emotionally more than the real world, which is kinda sad. I don't cry when people close...

Try to make sure you have connections before hand.... I don't have any, but I know people who have been at this longer than I have... The ones who succeed are either very lucky or they are smart enough to know who to talk to before hand. Film School is a great way to meet people, and learn a...

http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2009-07-21.3141447792 Yes, I'm not going to lie and say I was only asking about this little gimmick, or advice on how to better promote this. I'm ALWAYS hoping to get more people to jump on the "investment" wagon here. MORE IMPORTANTLY is...

The Producer I liken to an admiral. Yes, your right, I understand what you are saying.... I'm just putting it into the lowest common denominator. Especially on a low budget, you usually spend most of your time doing everything. Of course, the term Captain itself can be just as vague as...

Thank you. Added it in. This list was also sent to the comedy website the-iss.com, and they claim it will be published. Don't know if it actually will or not.

1. Make it thought provoking. You must have at least four different lines that exist to make the audience ponder deep philosophical thoughts, even if they contradict OTHER statements in the movie. 2. Religious imagery. Throw in a bible quote. As a matter of fact, show one on the trailer. Or...

Okay, how come everyone who hates Transformers 2 is acting like some sort of "Elitist" who likes "pretentious crap." For Christ's sake, i spent the weekend at a Godzilla Convention. Michael Bay IS terrible at what he does. You do realize how BLESSED we've been with Summer Blockbusters. Iron...

Gather up friends. I know it seems unprofessional, but you can count on them to work. Usually. NEVER have friends without experience crew for you, even if it's just mindless tasks, but always have them act. I used my friend Lisa Porep as an extra in one project, and now I cast her in everything...

The Director is the captain, simple as that. He takes his crew, sorts out the ego, and puts them to work to bring his vision of the script to life. That's the easiest way to describe it. Spending hours talking to the cast and crew, trying to put all the pieces together, getting everyone to...

If that happens, I'll smile, nod, say I'm taking it under consideration, and don't. I figure being the director is like being the captain of the ship. I'll take suggestions, but it's my decision. When I was hiring crew for Half Fish, I would ask people how they saw the movie. And if they said...
