Filmy stuff dance
The only news I heard out of Sundance this year wasn't about any films or like how great they were or anything... it was about Kevin Smith's self distribution plan... I watched his Q&A which you can see here...
I feel the same way about most everything he said about the film biZ.... and although I was never a part of it I figured as much from my brief interactions with film industry "professionals"
So I opted out and self distributed WATS with Jamie formerly of FilmBaby now of INDIEBLITZ....
As far as the HOLLYWOOD types went...I didn't want to waste my life, time and energy with such useless, clueless people who don't know how to do anything except throw money at problems and hope they get fixed... IF I would have played they game and got into I BET I WOULD STILL BE IN MEETINGS NOW trying to negotiate making my next film... BUT I said FUCK ALL DAT NOISE IMMA MAKE A NEW FILM! and BLAM I've got one! AND thanks to word of mouth or somethin? I still get lil checks from DVD sales every month even to this day... Amazon's algorithm's show no favoritism to big films which I like ^ ^
I would love to do a screening tour with my new film but I don't think I have a big enough audience to warrant such a thing... so I'll work my way up in small steps....film by film...
I'm like %99 art %1 business and schmooze...
With HSM I'm really going to try to break out and do some different things... which you will see with the trailers and stuff ^ ^ WHICH will be released at the end of next month.Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
