Thursday, May 08, 2003 so, sunday was quite an epiphany for the boy, one i have yet to recover from. i realized that the film i wanted to make, the film i felt i really should do is in fact, the film i have to make. i realized that there is all this 'many a strange and curious' arcane shite that i have always wondered why i learned, why it mattered. i have accrued this odd palette of stupid human tricks, bits of trivia, some rather useful skills, some not so useful, over the years and now this rather idiosyncratic pastiche of tricks makes perfect sense to me. i was supposed to learn them. i'm a gonna need 'em for this project. (i want to apologize in advance for skipping some of the more crucial details as i really don't want to pull the kitty so far out of the bag as to jeopardize anything. it's my superstitious southern upbringing i guess.) so, anyway, i have been consulting the old film and video budgets for the past few days. i have been working out a shooting schedule, as well as staffing reqs (three three man crews for 8 days), going over grant data, talking to juiced poilticos with connects to serious kale, evaluating the plan from a purely technical point of view, all this shit. and, i can't find any truly plausible reason that from a professional, personal, creative or even a purely patriotic standpoint, that i don't absolutely, positively have to make this film. to not make this film would be the biggest mistake of my life, and that's sayin' somethin', kiddos. i know for a fact that i can get this film funded. i am so going legit with this one, too. i'm setting up an LLC, hire an attorney(s) and the whole shebang. i know for a fact, and i speak as a festival programmer,that if i make the film that i truly feel i have to make, and i were to receive this film in the mail, i would be all over it. i know i can sell it. someone will buy this film. and, because of some rather interesting technological advances i thoroughly plan to exploit the motherfucking shit out of, it will be a goddamned bargain for them to do so. there is so much more to come... listenin': "thank you, jack white for the fiber optic jesus that you gave me". feelin': more and more like a bona fide bad ass. wheefuckingdoggie. posted by downtown | 4:42 AM |
