What's this all about?
HelloRecently I finished making my first feature film. I didn't make it because I wanted attention, or fame or even money (although it would be nice to actually make a living as a film maker). No I made it because for as long as I can remember I've loved film and the art of story telling. I know that's nothing strange, nearly everybody loves those things. No doubt though, that someone out there might read this and be like "I hate film and story telling with a passion, but enjoy listening to recordings of paint drying". Well to those people I say I'm glad you found something you're passionate about, but I'm afraid I probably won't be talking about that in any great detail.
Moving on:
Right, so the film's finished and everyone and anyone who talks about the next step nearly all say the same thing. "Do a blog" or "Start a blog" or "Have you got a blog", my answer is simple "No".
Apparently you can't just make a film, or run hotel, or operate a pub that offers quality service etc. No now you've got to have a blog. So here I am writing a blog about having a blog using blogger.com, it's kind of like INCEPTION, but not as interesting and without Oscar winner Leonardo Dicaprio making an appearance.
What comes next?
This is where I start having issues and need help from you. I could talk about the process of making the film, but I'll probably end up saying similar things to other film makers with blogs. I know every situation is different but its also amazing how similar a lot of the information is out there. So if you have questions or suggestions let me know.
About ME!!!!!!!
Apparently you're supposed to exude confidence and act slightly delusional (at least that's what I gather from one or two of the low budget indie film makers out there, shhhhhh don't tell anyone). You know what I'm talking about, it isn't unique to film making.
Those people who say things like "Yeah I'm an amazing singer" (proceeds to murder your favorite song) or "I guess my films are akin to those of film legend Stanley Kubrick" (shows you a 20min film that feels 8hrs long and somehow manages to even smell like dog shit) or "I can fix anything" (proceed to destroy your phone even though its under warranty) "yeah that's totally fucked now, warranty won't cover that", thanks Bill.
As you may have gathered from the above paragraph I deflected from telling you about myself in favor of other things. But in a roundabout way I've told you I try not to take myself to seriously, I love film and story telling, I'm fairly down to earth but like having my head in the clouds especially when to comes to telling a story, and Bill can't be trusted around electronic devices.
Oh Yeah
I'm supposed to be doing this to promote the film ha ha, kind of got carried away talking about other things. The films called NAMELESS, I know right, what was I thinking, the amount of people who have since said to me "oh right you don't have a title for it yet" me sighing "no, that's what it's called".
