So these two filmmakers do a series where they like to shit all over other filmmakers. They'd previously said of a movie I worked on: - Garbage - Produced by an asshole - How much were they smoking for this? - Ridiculed production company name - Ridiculed director's name - Ridiculed actresses names - Ridiculed actor's names - Ridiculed actor's appearance - Sarcastically called practical fx "really decent CG, there." - Oh jeez, this sucks, this movie sucks, just not a good movie at all not even remotely good - Called the production company we hired to do cgi fx 'a porno company' - That movie really fucking sucked - It sucks, don't watch it - A slog to sit through, it's boring, the acting is shoddy and terrible, the picture quality is also non-existent - the picture quality is absolutely shit - Man, it's just terrible. I just found out they have shit all over another film I worked on. Of this one, they said: "Sweet Zombie Jesus, this one is fucking awful…To say this movie is a mess is like saying that water quenches your thirst…The characters have little to make them interesting, and any character development is revealed in a very haphazard way…When you add in the flat acting of most of the cast, you really don’t care if any of them live or die…The whole film is slow, confusing, and dull…neither suspenseful, nor fun. It’s a haphazard and dull mess of a film that took its gloriously awful origin, and took a big shit on it. I certainly wish I had been trapped in a happy memory instead of watching this turd." But then, they also hope that FILMMAKERS WILL PAY THEM MONEY TO ADVERTISE ON THEIR SHOW because they also posted this: "Do you have a movie, a web series, a DVD or something to promote? Consider advertising on an episode (or two) of Terribly Awful. With affordable rates and an ever growing viewership, you can do a lot worse." If you are a filmmaker why the hell would you EVER pay these guys to promote your project when the whole point of their series is to make fun of and shit all over other filmmakers? The thing is, from what I can tell, these guys have made three short films, a bunch of series episodes, music videos, behind-the-scenes bits, etc., and their website lists plans for three features, more shorts and web series. I would think that by this point, they would know how hard it is to make an indie movie of any sort. Which makes it just profoundly sad that, while knowing the miracle it often is to complete an indie film, all the long hours, troubleshooting and all the time and heart that many people have put into it, they still get their kicks by making a series that is just them shitting all over other filmmakers' work. I'm the first to say that everyone has a right to their opinion and also the right to express it. These guys can be as harsh as they want and share their videos all over the place. No one HAS to like anything I've worked on. One of the best comments I saw on my original post about this was, "The first thing I do when trying to break into a field is crap all over the work of my peers, or my hopeful future peers even." No-budget filmmakers have gone on to start many of the small distribution companies, both physical and streaming. The filmmaker whose very name or production company name or wife's name is made fun of may be in charge of the film festival you submit to. They may be very good friends with any number of actors, fx people, composers or other production folks you try to hire. When you are trying to drum up business taking headshots, doing video production, photographic art projects, commercial work, green screen or technical support, you may find that the business owner you are courting was the money man for his nephew's low-budget movie that you shit on. When you try to drum up business on your website by saying, "If you have a story to tell, or want to be a storyteller, we want to hear from you," you may need to add, "unless you are a storyteller who has made movies that we call an 'atrocity,' a 'big DUMP,' tear to shreds and flush right down the cinematic toilet, etc." When you do manage to get distribution for your movie or self-distribute and start posting all over FB groups trying to get other filmmakers and fans to help spread the word about your movie being available, you may find that a bunch of them tell you to go fuck yourself, either because of something you said about them or a filmmaker they consider a peer, friend or family member. You never know.
Updated the ol' sizzle reel with stuff I've done in the last 5 years. So hard to squeeze stuff in! But hopefully you get the vibe.
