Why is everyone else complaining?

I was reading this blogpost linked on some other film marketing blog I read...

It's just so odd... all these "independent" filmmakers complaining and talking how their opportunities are going away in this new digital world... well I have something to say to them all.... PEAS OUT! Haha... We are at probably the most exciting and interesting time for media makers right now and if you REALLY been doing your best for a long time and you still can't find an audience for your film or anyone who is interested in it... well then you and what you make probably sux0rs... thats the truth no one wants to hear BUT thats the way it is in this new world... you can't pretend... the audience either loves it, hates it or the WORST OF ALL they don't remember it at all... there's no faking because with the internet and the people on it well ummm... they are honest... its terrifying to a lot of filmmakers I talk to but its like if you can't stand the heat then DAMN you shouldn't be at the workstation ^ ^

You must walk the line between making whatever the fuck you want while somehow keeping your ear to the ground making something relevant to todays quickly adapting and morphing audience... NO ONE and NO STUDIO is going to back you with tons of P & A to beat peoples eyeballs into submission convincing them that you are somehow relevant... the majors can and still will do this and most everyone else will DIE..... Survival of the fittest it is...

I meet all these "filmmakers" who want to be "directors" or consider themself that or whatever... but without a crew, budget and all that...they are helpless...they dont make anything at all.. they are waiting for some perfect situation to come about so they can do the one or two things they know how to do and make a film... that may work in Hollywood but if you want to make your own films that shit isn't gonna cut it homieS...

I made most of my live action films in garages, on the street or where ever with who ever I could get and I shot with any camera I could get etc.. you get the point... You either have the desire and passion or you don't and if you don't your never going to survive in tomorrows world of independent film... and the audience doesn't give a fuck what you shot your film on or where or how or whatever... its the film that matters... lately all these people have been prematurely ejaculating about the RED camera... its like just because you have 4000 pixels of HORizontal resolution somehow now your Kubrick eh? And the audience is just going to be in awe of your film because...of the camera you shot in on??

Its actually very refreshing when you come to the realization that the audience doesn't care if you were poor as fuck living in a slum and like you shot your stop motion film on a polaroid and like went to Kinko's to scan them in and digitize them or whatever... ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHATS ON SCREEN... THE FILM... now how/why/when/where/who with....

So what would most hipster independent filmmaker types do if they got $50,000? Probably rent some artsy loft to live in and buy some fancy camera and waste the rest on cigarettes and "research" trips to foreign countries... ME...I'd live in a fuckin hole, eat sardines, buy a bunch of computers and bang out an animated feature...by the time that average "indy" figured out what they wanted to do and started trying to raise more money for it I'd be done... What would you do?

No one admires Kurosawa, Kubrick or Lynch for they lifestyles or what gear they used to make they films... people remember THE FILMS... So why should you care about how/why/where you make your films? Just fucking make them already.... or no don't make them and let me get all the glory ^ ^

I could be complaining about how I don't have Pixar's render farm and how I don't have a distribution deal or enough money or whatever... I could be complaining about how hard it is to do this... but you don't see me doing that... WHY? It's not going to make my film any better so its a waste of my time... I'd rather put my time and energy into the films I make.

The reason I share all this shit is because I WANT TO SEE YOUR UNIQUE FILMS... So if you have the WILL find the WAY today.Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
