Filmmaker <----> Artist
I'm going to make some generalizations in this post cause life is too short sometimes....
"Filmmakers" as a whole I've found are boring people... I wouldn't call them passionate... I wouldn't call them driven... I wouldn't call them crazy... I wouldn't call them unique and I just wouldn't call them... cause me and them boring muthafuckers just don't get alonG mayne ^ ^
What I would call them is opportunistic...
The "artists" I know hmmm... I would call some of them exciting, passionate, driven, crazy and unique...
When I talk to a filmmaker for 5 minutes he/she gives me they like tagline pitch... "I'm working on developing this short film to shoot on the "BLANK" camera its sort of "BLANK" meets "BLANK" I'm getting "BLANKS" brother from "BLANK" Tv show to star in it and we think "BLANK" might be interested in optioning it as a feature"... WHAT TEH FUCK?! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE?! I'm not interested in some formulaic mediocre mundane bullshit! SHOW ME SOME HEART and some PASSION you cardboard FUCK!
Now the artists I know... when they are explaining what they do or want to do... it is very much about feeling... expressing themselves and connecting with others... emotion...passion...REAL LIVING LIFE...CHAOS...Unpredictability....
Now I myself consider "film" an artform BUT since until very recently it was too expensive or cumbersome to be within the reach of artists to use as a means of expression... So who used film and turned it into the redundant lifeless re-imagined with the same old emotional cues and ploys with all new 3d shiny wrapper? Who did that? Who was using film when the artists could not? The same boring gutless opportunistic FUX who wallow in they re-imagined remade pre-sold lamefests that pack the cinema's today ^ ^
Now where are the artists? Where are you to take back this artform? TO show those bastards it's true potential!? The stuff is cheap enough and easy enough to use so that even the artsyEST bastard could learn in they etherial spare time ^ ^
Why aren't you making your film? WHY?! BEcause those elitist opportunistic FUX convinced you that your not good enough? THat your not professional? Because you don't have enough money to hire WETA to do your fx? BEcause you don't have plastic STARfaces in your movie? Because you didn't get a directing degree from AFI? BEcause you didn't study animation at CalArts? Why aren't you artist?! Where is your passion?! Where is your drive?! WHY ARE YOU LIVING?! WHY?!
What are you waiting for? How many more examples do you need to see before you tell yourself...Ok I guess I can risk it now... DONT BE A FUCKING WIMP! RIsk it today JUMP IN AND DON'T LOOK BACK! Everything you can possibly desire awaits you... you just have to do it! You just have to be who you know you are AND LIVE IT.... Don't think it... Don't wait for approval... LIVE IT!
So yeh.... I want to see films made by artists not these lukewarm pasty "filmmaker" FUX
When they ask me what my tagline is I say " YOU WILL DIE.... inside" ^ ^ SHET you'd think they never met a passionate person before 0_o Be passionate! SCARE THOSE MUTHAFUCKERS OUT THEY SHOES! ^_^
RAAAARRRRR!
