CONFESSION 14: Confessions of an Independent Filmmaker

[kscaliatine]

ok, so no news...yet...

[CaptainFeigh]

It sounds like you're having such an unbelievably hard time. It's a bit discouraging actually...

[SelfmadeMonkeys]

Wow, gun play, a musical number, several mysterious defecations - this is becoming one hell of a complex, spine-tingling story! Never say die, Independent Film Guy!

[kb0034]

That's what supportive wives and girlfriends are for! =D My boss supportive her husband while he quit his job at HBO and started writing non-stop, meetings, etc. He just had an article in Variety announcing his first film (as a first time director - only 2 years after quitting his job!) and he sold another script on top of that one! It's amazing what you can get done when you really focus. I guess if my husband wanted to quit, I would have to really think it over, though.

[kb0034]

("My boss supported..." is what I meant. d'oh.)

[confessionsindiefilm]

Brilliant, KB. What about? Are you out there workin' it or what???

[lookear]

We have been hoping to get our movie made for years too. Stick with it man... You can do it.

This is a really entertaining documentary. We could make a cool TV series out of this...

[brianhecker129]

I spent 11 years trying to get my indie film made, and it finally happened. I directed William H. Macy and Cheryl Hines in a movie I wrote called "Bart Got a Room" and it'll be out in March in LA, NY, and South Florida. 11 years, man, working on it everyday. Don't give up.

[confessionsindiefilm]

YES! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT! THAT'S ENCOURAGEMENT!!! Thanks, Brianhecker129 for a second wind!

[KristinLynnMellian]

Hi, My name is Kristin. My fiance and I were living in Florida and tried to submit ourselves over and over for that film. Wish we could've got to read. We are both SAGe and joining this year. We love "Confessions."

[brianhecker129]

Your pictures probably didn't fit the very specific character-types we were looking for.

[hanstibour]

Well, I hope you're at least having fun making these videos. This one was action-packed!

[confessionsindiefilm]

These videos are therapy, hastibour. I should pay all my viewers $200 an hour! W

[Coffeetower]

Dude. You need to get an acting job. Your entertaining, for real.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks caffeinbuilding...perhaps I shall act for funding for my movie!

[thebench11]

Great stuff,very entertaining.I hope you get a break as this is in my opinion one of the best series on youtube!Subscribed!!!!!!!!!

[steroidssavedmylife]

Hey dude, thanks for the new vid. We are feeling a lot of your pain right now. We are independant filmmakers ourselves and trying to put together our dream feature right now so your show is very relevant to us. Also we commend u on the production value and slick editing of your show here. People think its easy to put up lil shows like this but it aint easy!!!

[bennymcfarlane]

I want to point out a poignant irony. Here you are struggling to actualize your contribution to the world, your film. It will bear your unique production style, and project a part of your soul into the hearts of viewers everywhere. Yet by broadcasting your progress, you've effectively achieved your goal. This series is a wonderful film unto itself. There are so many ppl like us who feel the same pain of dreaming a dream, taking painfully small steps toward it... this strikes a serious chord.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks, bennymac. The irony you point out is humorous, indeed. As a storyteller like myself, I'm sure you know the gritty drama you must undergo just to make a movie -- drama that is movie-worthy itself! Keep making your movie, my friend. Keep me posted. We must hold fast and not let the other give up!

[bennymcfarlane]

hehe, I've gotta make it into a novel first. Yours is a whole other universe of obstacles. Speaking of which, I've gotta knock out my short story.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks, swimzz. Let's kick some butt.

[swimzz4fun]

That was an awesome confession and trust me you're definitely going to get far. I have complete hope for you man. Keep it up and keep posting i'm totally on the look out for you movies and confessions!

[RadPie]

This movie has to get made! Here's the deal. Once I make it big and rick [One can only wish], and if you haven't yet I'll come back for you. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!

[fubunite]

Dude I got my script done. All the details finished. I'm about to pitch to a giant company with more money than I can count. But I'm counting on you dude to give me some inspiration. HELP!!! Best of luck and keep us updated. PS have you ever heard of script blaster?

[confessionsindiefilm]

No. But here is a tip before you pitch. Know that your project rocks. Know that if that giant company doesn't pick you up, then someone else will. They are not giving you an opportunity, you are giving THEM and opportunity. Be confident in this and be HUMBLE. Don't pretend to know things you don't. Believe it or not, Hollywood types don't mind taking on the mentor roll. And by all means...go in there knowing you are living the Hollywood dream. Pitching is a joy others don't get to do!!!

[inkiw]

I'm glad your progressing, even if you are getting 0 hours of sleep! xD !

Best of luck!!

[InfamousTBG]

living a double life may be stressful but your getting twice the life in! keep it up!

[confessionsindiefilm]

dude, you almost made me cry...twice.

[InfamousTBG]

glad that i could uh...help!

[Se1]

DUDE !

I'm always looking forward to your videos !

This video was awesome xD.

You say it was because the TV people wanted more action like stuff ?

You know what dude ? If this was a TV show, I would be glued to the TV, just watching it haha. You definitely have talent. Keep it up !

Post the website when you have it up !!

Keep us posted !

[godyoker]

yea, termina la pelicula y muchos la compraran seguro.

yea, finish you movie dude and many are gonna to buy it for sure.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Hey, gang. This "confession" is definitely different, huh. Basically, the TV peeps contacted me back and wanted me to send a "callback" video that shows more action and got out of my office. Glad you liked it! It's just cray-zay!

[rellimsevens]

hahaha, this was your best confession yet! Loved and laughed!

[sephorrud]

I think you will make it man!

[djsuperstar717]

maybe you should read a book on sales; or get a hot chick to go to the afm and sale the movie for you

[FueledByRock]

Hopefully this whole double life thing will pay off when your movie is done. You should have a work name (Señor Bizz E.) and a movie name (Brad Awesome), to truly live a double life.

[guacamoleroxmysox]

you are awesome and i wish there was something i could do to help.

[MetalGearRien]

Totally agree, your editing, typography and humor is top notch. It's too bad you can't do what MdotStrange did.

[Lighteningzero]

A webpage? Can you post a link?

[Tuberriffic]

I think we all are pulling for you man! GET THAT MOVIE DONE!

[Nocturne06]

One thing's for sure confession-guy, you have a solid fan-base here that'll support you and watch your movie when it's made! Let me anticipate it in December 2009, since it's a holiday movie! I'm still editing my movie, I'm really not motivated these days, I sleep very little too and I'm tired of looking at the same shots over and over again. No one said this life was easy, huh? But we can never give up, never give in, never surrender! Good luck! Looking forward to the next update!

[lukygirl314]

[puddin8stuff]

i cant wait to see you make it

[UEGGaara]

[fuzzyillogic]

[YellowSwitchPalace]

[intergalacticdreamz]

[iceyoshi1]

[TheCrimsonLion]

B-E-A-utiful

[ThatGuyMatt1]

keep it up my friend

[ejinathan]

Haha damn ^^. You could prolly be a comedian no joke D. I think something might happen after all these efforts. The world is atm also in some crisis so it could prolly be harder now to get it done.

[larrythetvaddict]

lol very funny, dont worry about it, work towards your dream and one day it will happen
