His 38th film? For fuck’s sake! I gave up after four minutes
I think I should set up an anti-film school.
[size=80]CLINTON MORGAN’S 10 SECONDS ANTI-FILM SCHOOL
Motto " Give a guy a pencil he doesn’t become Rembrandt’
- Don’t use your friends.
- Videotape looks shit on film.
- Don’t even bother.
- Just get a fucking job and stop pissing me around.
- You’ve seen a lot of movies. Yeah? So?
- Doesn’t matter how many drafts you write, it’ll always be shit. Go and be a plumber.
- Don’t make movies, even if you want to.
- Success is not an option.
- You really want to with your whole heart? That desire will soon bleed out of you.
- You’ll look at your big pile of videos and DVDs that you brought with the intention of learning from and say to yourself, " What have I done with
my life? That girl liked me! And I turned her down because I was sodetermined and I did not want a relationship to get in the way of my chances of making it.Augh!!! "[/size]
I’ve never read it but Joe Queenan wrote a book on his experiences of making a film with credit cards for $7000. The result? He ended up in debt with a movie nobody wanted.
