Why do indie filmmakers usually stay away from true story films?

But it was established that legally you don't need rights, and make a movie of any true story you want, especially since they did it with O.J. Simpson.



Not really. I watch a lot of shows like 48 Hours Mystery, 60 Minutes, and FBI Files for example, and there are tones of true stories, that are really interesting and compelling that you could do, that Hollywood has never bothered with.

The implication I get here .. is you're saying you can do creative stories if the story is shit ?
just true stories need the story to be outstanding ?

Big talk David. Have you made anything worth anything more than than a couple of views on Youtube? You can include your non-existant feature of yours if you need.

Go on, show us.

i don't appreciate being called a big joke and getting laughed at on this type of forum.

i try to conduct myself professionally here so i don't have the option to go down to his level.

@David: Sean is not lying.
You are trolling a bit too much.
For your amazement:

The director Daniel won his Academy Award with Undefeated (2011).
Sfoster never claimed he starred in an award winning documentary...

Btw, when can we see your trailer?
I heard it is totally mind blowing, will probably break the internet AND will make Kanye West humble...

i dont know whos defining trolling these days. But when someone brings up stupd shit just to disagree then is wrong, and then reports you because he is wrong. What you have there is someone deservant of being laughed at especially when he tries to debate my point with an off topic beer pong doc. Its laughable i'm done talking about morons
 
sfoster said:
And now you've resorted to name calling.
If you're going to call me a moron you probably shouldn't make up fake words like "deservant" in the same post.
