Well I want to make stuff that will build towards the intention of making money. Success. I went to this horror movie marathon of new horror movies at a local film festival. People were voting on which was the best, and the ones with female nudity, gratuitous female nudity really, were getting the most votes. Half the women in the audience were female so not sure how many of their votes were positive. But maybe they liked the movies for different reasons, other than the nudity.
It's hard to ask my friend's opinions cause they mostly like big budget thrillers and action films, and not into the genre as much. I am trying to get more into it, since it's the most popular on the indie circuit it seems.
As far as my short, it will be a while, as some parts may just may be un-edit-able cause of mistakes. I think I need to concentrate on new things, and my judgement on my short is just burned out and unclear. I realize my mistakes now, and will make something I can finish very likely next time. Especially since next time, I hope to hire people under contract, rather than relying on volunteer collaborators, who are less committed.
That's true about actors auditioning for nude roles. But if it's not what the public wants then forget about it. I was willing to do one of the roles myself and be nude but not if it's going to be worth it lol.
