What do you want to be?
Do you want to be the snarky person sitting in the corner uttering short remarks that whilst they do provide instant gratification leave everyone else empty inside... Do you want to give what is known...make known what is already known yet in a shinier, faster "more hip" manner? Do you want to be the person afraid to go in depth into anything or anyone because you are afraid of those unknown depths within yourself.... Do you want to tell the same old stories in "new" ways? Leaving the cultural and mythical reservoir empty with only a few tired tumbleweeds rattling around the same territory they always do? Even though it may make people angry some times the truth is the best medicine... So as a filmmaker...artist...whatever... I believe its your responsibility to tell YOUR emotional truth... no matter how "insane, random, bizarre, disturbing or "pointless" it may seem to people...
This is where film has been FUCKED... FUCK the whole business thing... FUCK all the parasites and talentless, passionless fucking scumbags who have turned talented, passionate filmmakers into inane drones capable of only pleasing producers and test audiences... THATS NOT WHAT FILM IS FOR... its not about making "content" or a "product" to be consumed by mindless masses.... PEOPLE WANTED REAL EMOTION...REAL EXPERIENCE...REAL PAIN... REALNESS.... not the trite fake shit in all these modern films..... and FUCK YOU to the person thats saying "its a business thats how it is get over it" FUCK YOU! WE WILL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR WAYS... YOU who tells the young kid to "think realistically" and tells them there is no cinematic Santa Claus... as much as you fuckos hate it.... THE MAGIC IS BACK and MY FRIENDS and I M NIGHTMARE will unravel your boring repetitive pastel airport carpet of mediocrity you call "FILM"... I know some of YOU read this blog and I will say that as much as this whole DIY filmmaking thing may seem like a novelty to you its not going away.... your going away ^ ^
Now... now... passionate filmmakery people in the haus.... you must realize that your days of being the batch processing script to these pasty FUX is OVER.... that is IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS... do you have the GUTS to do what I do? If you don't have the guts you'll continue to be the batch of these biz folks... and you know what if you don't have the guts I dont want to see your films anyway because your probably one of the people mentioned in my first paragraph... The tech is here! The distribution mechanism is here! ITS UP TO YOU how you are able to survive... the audience doesnt care how or where you live they just want to see your film... So get that real honest raw emotion and make a fucking movie and show it to people... if its good the people will respond...then make another one...
Ya see it now? Survival of the fittest...
So getting back to my previous point.... FUCK YOU TO THE PEOPLE SAYING THAT FILM IS JUST A BUSINESS ^ ^ FILM is an ART... for a long time to make films you had to mix with the busnISSY people but that time is NO MORE... If you treat film as business and your film as merely a "product" you and your film will melt into the mediocre masses of bland product kicked out year after year... if your REAL and put real EMOTION in your film and you have fucking GUTS and dare to be BOLD the sky is the limit...
So to all you REAL peeps out there if you don't already know ....PLEAS... DO WHATEVER YOU WANT... THERE ARE NO LIMITS, NO RULES... DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU... learn the technology, study the craft, learn and do everything EVEN if people tell you that you cant or its "unrealistic" or whatever... make your own shit up... be original, passionate and real.... if you FAKE it and simply use the new tools and distribution methods to pretend and be a fake bastard and do the same old shit in a "more hip" way... well... YOU WILL DIE... INSIDE.
Now is this the time Mr. M dot Strange went insane and starting threatening like... psychological and emotional death? Nah... I've always been like... not ok... I've just had to smile and play sane to ease my way in... With HSM... there is no ice cream... there is only nightmare... there is no self censorship... there is no playing nice... there is only darkness... I know you probably think I'm joking but I'm not... I'm just a twisted man full of demons that plays with dolls alone in the dark in a room full of computers... the demons have been released from my mind and have entered the computers..... and in a little more than a year from now you will see what they have created... I hope your ready for it...
I laugh when I read the thoughts of other "indy" filmmakers on they blogs and they like... I laugh because they view of "film" is so far removed from my own... its like to them its just a job or a game or something... I remember back when I was 8 or 9 and my friend said "lets play fight"... I said "ok"... he smiled and got in a fighting stance like a pro wrestler or something... I lunged at him and started punching him in the face with tightly closed little fists... now a little 8 year olds fist can't do much damage... but a twisted grown man's mind can do a lot of.... D.amage O.ver T.ime....
Yeh you know meh Dee Oh Tee.... fire, poison, acid? Nah... HEART STRING MARIONETTE.
END psycho rant to go back to worK.
THIS plays in my head when I write this shit ^ ^
