People In the industry will NEVER work with

Sounds like I'd burn bridges in hollywood with this but I have set it out that if I can somehow get my dream movie made, by making good short films, these are the people I would avoid reason why. They ruin your film. Make it flop!

(names removed)

They recut your film into generic undeveloped muddy mess. or make you put in too much action!

I'd rather have an absolutely indie studio/funding of 10 million and under for this project than to have an 80 million budget, and have some crook pressure me into having one less underwater submersible sequence, or want to do the raise the Britannic scene in CGI instead of a miniature, which is how i want to do it, like old movie!

god forbid it run 140 mins and have me cut it down to 90 mins and make no sense.

In fairness to the op, I would take $10mil with complete control over $80mil with the studio overriding my decisions.

Also, most of the stories I like to tell don't need huge budgets for effects (well, at the moment, maybe I'll change directions in the future), so I think I could still make a good film on a budget that *small*.

What an odd post. I don't know who any of those people are. What makes you think they're such horrible people?

I'd gladly whore myself out to ANY producer. Pay me money, and you have my permission to completely RUIN my vision. Would I prefer to have final cut? Of course. But a pay check is a pay check.

(For the directors that make "generic undeveloped muddy mess. or make you put in too much action", of course.)

I actually didn't mind nearly half of the people on that list. They've produced some good films.

It seems like you typed in "top producers in Hollywood", and posted the first names you saw in your post.

I'd take any offer from any one of those people.

Part of the reason you never say never is, although you may not be 100% thrilled to work with someone, you have to keep in mind - "It's not what you know, but who you know." Okay, maybe the people you mentioned will (in your opinion) mess up your project, working with them will you bring into contact with all sorts of amazing people who could introduce you to who knows what or who.


Hey, when I was just beginning my career as a musician I swore I would NEVER do oldies music. Guess what was the most enjoyable, most prestigious and most profitable portion of my career; playing with an oldies band, the Del Vikings. Over the six plus years I was their musical director I got to meet and perform with all sorts of amazing people, perform in some of the most famous venues in the world, and even played in front of some of my heroes; Eric Clapton (amongst other) was in the audience when we performed at Carnagie Hall. I got to jam with Carl Perkins. Did a fill in gig with Frankie Ford on Mr. Perkins recommendation. I made quite a bit of money doing arrangements for other bands and produced a few retro singles, etc., etc., etc.

So never say never; you're just cutting yourself off from some potentially great resources and experiences.
