I was an engineer/manager in industry for years. Then about a year ago I QUIT my day job to pursue indie film making. I'm slowly working my way into it. Enjoying watching your story unfold. Definitely rooting for you.
Hey Confessions Dude! Hangin' on the edge of my seat here! You keep going!!! I wonder if anyone would want to watch my confessions as I start up my Adult Novelty business??? Hey ya never know!! Post soon!!
I am a lecturer in Australia teaching digital video, I have to tell you I have approximately a hundred students loving your work including some old guy pretending to be young by teaching film(me...ohh wait :( i'm old). We talk about your vids in and out of class. This video is sooo addictive!! You should do more of these especially when you movie gets picked up, imagine the viral marketing buzz these videos would generate! Also submitted your video to digg (hope it helps spread the word)
Thanks, mmarscomau!!! I'm glad your class is enjoying them! My motive is to put the spotlight on the true grit of making a movie from scratch. All the goofy stuff happens cuz I've made YOUTUBE my therapist. And just to let you in on a secret...another "confession" is coming this weekend for sure! Shhhhh.
Hey what's up mate, I have watched all your videos and there amazing! Your directing and editing for these youtube videos are AMAZING. Your so funny to! A holiday film is a good choice to have for a film!. Good luck mate!
hey this is the first time i've commented on your videos... however i HAVE been watching them since the day I saw your intro video featured on youtube...
i look up to you dude!!! YOU'RE FILIPINO!!!! LIKE ME!!! Your vids are seriously entertaining(im sure others have said this) and i look forward to any future vids you're going to upload soon!
haha im just 15 and im into filmmaking myself. i live in carson actually! (Carson has a lot of filipinos...) Well dude...I wish you the best!
hey my name is daniel porto and i come from australia. i think i remember you saying you went to to UCLA? anyway if you did I was wondering what your opinions of it are? is it worth it? i was thinking of moving into america next time but im not sure if i should go to film school or not? should i go just to meet some people? or should i not go to film school and if i didn't, what would you recommend to try and get into the industry(very slowly im guessing lol)
Here is what I would do. Forget film school. Save that money to make an independent movie. Get a degree in business. Then work at the film school equipment center and/or help with student films so you make friends. Spend the money you saved for a killer short film. Earn it back by getting a practical job. And rely on the free labor from all your awesome friends in film school!!! Voila'!!!! Good luck!
To be honest, I think you shouldn't have posted publicly about the meeting, as you'll have every faker and liar within a...well, the Internet's infinite radius...sending you fake messages about being with this corporation or that studio..who really aren't. You really should've kept this to yourself, I think.
You make a good point tkeely4777. I guess we'll have to see how many of these folks are ligit. But I will gladly take 10 fakes if it leads me to 1 real contact! Most of the face-to-face interaction in the industry is like this too. Everyone is feelin' the other guy out to find out how serious they are. How deep does the rabbit hole go? Who knows? At least we'll see how this one goes though...at least I'll see and I'll take you all with me!
LOVE IT, DUDE! If I'm Hype-Man...then my arch nemises must be THE BIG BIZ or some kind of mundane personification of the "studio machine", complete with tights!
This is awesome man, every time i see you've got a new vid in my subscriptions box its the first thing i'll click on. Like i said, you've got drive and passion that myself, like many, surely do envy. Good luck, i know you'll do good. : )
hey you know i am alwasy down!!! Got equipment to full hd camera and animations studio setups aswell. And you should post a video response of 1 on 2, 2 on 3 ........... you get the point to it is easier for the views to go from video to video
Dude, let's do this as a community effort. Subscribe to my channel and I'll come up with a schedule and the kind of money I can pay people for the work. I'll email the proposal to the subscribers, so join up and let's do something major.
What can I say? I've gained inspiration from your talent and energy for 10 years. These "confessions" are no different. Your God-given talent is amazing. BTW, check your email. :)
ohhhhh man ...did he say a 'holiday' film . i now realize why so many people passed on it...i mean it may be a great film BUT it being a holiday film, makes it seasonal, which makes it less likely to make money year round. Thus studios may pass for a more marketable alternative. just my two sense.
you speak truth. but here is a twist! a "holiday" movie may not make as much money year round, but it will over the long run! For example, a "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "The Grinch" play every friggin' year. It becomes an "evergreen". But studios aren't interested in long-lasting material. They want the instant hit. That's how they keep their job! Hit after hit. Not classic after classic. As for us...the consumers...we want something we can watch again...year after year...a classic.
Hey man, I'm From Brazil, Sao Paulo to be exact. And if I had any chance to see your movie I would't miss it. Perhaps what you're doing is just the beggining of a new creative force from independent filmmakers from all over the world who are trying to do something. I work here in the movie industry myself, and it just seems to me that you're as far away from getting your film done as I am. And you live in the same city where the magic happens. Don't play by their rules. Make them play by yours!
Hey good luck man! I commented on your first vid post and I hope everything works out for you! you're kind of an inspiration to other aspiring film makers out there
Hey man!!! I am planning on going to film school in 2009. I love you videos, they really have encouraged me to keep goin on with my dreams of becoming a film producer, editor, and or director.. lol I know its stupid to say it, but if you need any help or anything it would be greatly appreciated if i could help.. so i can get an idea of what goes into the film process before i make the biggest decision of my life.. I do have a little experience and would love to just see how it all works.. Thanks
Not stupid to ask. For your sake, don't think that your decision now is a "make or break" deal for your future. You can always return back to movies even if you don't go to film school. The only wrong decision people make is if they neglect what they love. Film school means nothing. It's what one does after film school. The best film school is experience. I would tell anyone to save their film school money and spend it on making a movie. Go to school for something practical for 9to5 job.
Hey great stuff dude. I just found your videos last week and watched them all in one night. Then went out of town for a while and was thrilled to see this new one tonight!
I wish I could help, but I am not sure what I could help with. Music, voice overs, odd jobs... I can do some editing. LoL.
Anyway, if you need some help I am more than willing. I have always wanted to get into this business, just never knew how.
I'm reading comments from sooooo many people that want to help out here. I'm telling you, the grass roots thing is totally going to work. We need to set up a web site and start handing out assignments. If you can get your assignment turned in, YOU'RE IN THE MOVIE! First assignment is to film yourself in front of a green sheet so we can greenscreen in a cool background. Who wants in?
you are going to make this movie and im going to be happy i commented here cause your amazing and i would love to see your movie you were smart for posting this stuff on youtube.
That's some crazy doing a...doing a..it's a prank...It's a PRAAAANNNKKK!
Sorry dude...this time it's the Coca-Cola.
Man, I hope your project isn't like that Adam Sandler gross-out movie. And since you mentioned holiday movie...I suddenly got this compulsion to find those old stop-motion Rankin Bass xmas cartoons here on Youtube.
So far what I learned from you is: IDEA + YOUTUBE = EXPONENTIAL GROWTH (BUZZ). Cool!
Hey thanks for the comment bro. Yeah you're absoloutely right. With our forces we can rule the world. You're like that Elite soldier at the tip of the spear. We're the grunts behind pushing the gilded gates of Hollywood down so the next wave of future film makers can get in. In the spirit of Lucas, Copolla, Spieldberg who always worked together to make magic. If you need us just drop a line and Chop Suey Entertainment will hold it down for you. Peace
Man, you are great. I'm Italian and we have the same shit in my country, if you want to make a movie you have to eat tons of it. I studied to be a director and reach something in this business is almost impossible. I sign up on youtube only to said good luck to you. Keep going and be sure, I will go to see your movie, like all my friends will, even if will take years. You are the living proof that if you want something you need patience and perseverance. Like we said in Italy: In bocca al lupo!
Wow! You're words were very kind and inspiring to myself! I'm so excited to hear that my embarrassing (and amusing) confessions reached Italy! But more important...it reached your fighting spirit. Manteniamo il combattimento!
I hope to see your movie if it gets in the works. :D
Although, your skills with skits and as such...
You can maybe first make yourself famous by being a comedian/actor/host and then push for a film! But anyways, with the way things go, keep on what you're doing.
just take the meeting, if that doesn't work, use your "You Tube" hype to make your own film crew and have them make your movie for free. just find a way to pay them if it is successfully distributed.
Great idea. Another commenter made the same suggestion. Interesting thought. In response, there is already discussion (with our group) about another project being 100% grass roots! As for this one...we're going to keep moving forward according to plan before resorting to the "grass-roots" funding. GREAT IDEA!
No. Not for drama purposes. I am TRULY making a movie. I've had other commenters ask me straight up if I was an advertising firm or some sort of studio ploy to build hype for something else. I assure you...I am the real deal and after observing the "ups and downs" of previous development deals, I keep telling myself, "OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO HEAR THIS DRAMA BECAUSE IT'S FRIGGIN' HARD TO MAKE A MOVIE!" Thanks for the willingness to throw in money! (smile)
Yes. It has already been optioned and I've received offers to sell the idea for cell phone and/or ipod media. I turned those offers down because concurrently I would receive interest by management groups and production companies that would want to make this movie! If this script never got interest, I would sell the idea and move on. But the more interest this gets, the more I am convinced this HAS to be made and not simply sold and shelved. Great thought.
OMG are you crazy take the meeting. There are at least 8 different avenues ie: Veoh TV where you can go an only watch the most watched vids on youtube and other broadcast yourself networks. Honestly, would you take the chance on someone who can actually make this happen and snub them???
My sentiments exactly -- OF COURSE I'LL TAKE THE MEETING! I totally jumped at the chance and now we're gonna see what happens! You are right. Perhaps I need to check out these other broadcast networks. What are they?
You're in the boat I was in dude. I got on TV, radio, and newsprint for my adventure, and I got a TON of exposure... but it didn't translate to anything. Youtube is the same way. Hey, if you figure out how to turn youtube exposure into something valuable, let me know. Cause I received a ton of regular exposure and... nada.
Wow. Not sure if I should feel encouraged. (Of course, I say that with a dry tone, heh-heh). Why, this blasted town is pretty callous. But I guess this is how I am masocist myself! (like the plug to your page?) I keep throwing myself in there and I can't help it! Awesome vids, dude. YOUR stuff is quality youtube entertainment.
That could very well be part of the plan. One of the reasons I'm still negotiating with the animation company is to work out animation samples as part of our development deal. Then, these things could be revealed in a tactful way (whether on YT or something else). Every move is like a chess game. We have to project what may happen ten moves down the road. But you are right, indeed!
Bro...this is major! Congrats man, you got your hype back and now its time to try to kick that up to the next level. The Chop Suey Entertainment family is behind you!
Yeah, an executive producer is who we're trying to bag next. This project was optioned by an EP before...but other things became their priority. It's tough to find that right EP who sink their teeth into something and not let go. I already have my wish list so once I draft out the business infrastructure...I'm gonna start knockin' on doors! Thanks!
i KNEW you were getting youtube hype!!! haha sweet! i mean, believe it or not, youtube, or whatever the next big internet media sharing thing will be, will replace television and media advertising as the number 1 source for exposure and idea sharing... if the net stays neutral, that is. i digress! i'm super amped for you, man! you are already recognizable because of ytube. now just put your name in your vids or something somehow so your name can be household too! rock on! you inspire us all!
a holiday movie.... i will pay to see that!!! tell me when its done, better yet, tell us all. dont end your v-logs because you know have your chance to make the movie, bring us along with you on your trip to fame, stardom, making the movie, and the difficulties you encounter along the way. Now THAT will get people exited!!!!!! youll be RICH and FAMOUS, as i hope you to be, good luck!!!
Totally agree!!!! BRILLIANT VID AND BEST WISHES ON YOUR "MEETING... BETTER YET... MEETINGS!!!" We're so excited for you and again, if you need some little ones for that "holiday movie" feel free to contact me regarding my budding entertainers... they have resume, headshots and EXPERIENCE... how about that? LOL
Typically, the term "holiday" in the movie means Christmas. But the industry is very P.C. with anything that sounds religious. So to answer your question....KWISSMUUSSS.
(smile) My priorities may not be the right priorities though...as you can tell with these vids. But who knows. These "priorities" may turn out to be the best decision I could of done!
Typically, the term "holiday" in Hollywood means Christmas. But industry peeps have to be pc about it. So to answer your question: KWISSSMUUSSSS. (smile)
YES! But when you go...bring a story idea with you that you really want to make. Screenwriting programs are EXCELLENT to hold you accountable! Worth every penny.
I agree with RamirandJames drop some clips of the movie here or make a trail of it and post it so they can see what their getting, this feeds the YT buzz, and im SURE major people watch YT so you never know man! Think about Chris Crocker, he don't have even 1% of the talent you have, and he's sorta semi famous, (not really) but you know what i mean! Cease the moment man! YT = TELEVISION YOUR TELEVISION CHANNEL TO DO WHAT WITH IT!! Hope it works man!
As an animator/creative type myself, I must state outright that I'm allergic to money and as a left leaning 'save the world' type, have slightly less than zero business acumen. However, perhaps you could set up a website with some kind of donation/ sponsorship component, which will give your fans a small sense of ownership of the project.
For example, donate a 100 bucks and get your name in the credits - donate 1 million and get the naming rights of a minor character etc.
So tell me, since this is an Indie holiday movie, will it have Santa riding a giant turkey throwing candy hearts at jackolanterns causing them to explode?
I'm joking of course.
Any ways, GOOD LUCK AGAIN!! I'm watching and waiting!
I like what you're doing. I hope the film works out for you. I really think I'd love to see it, what I'm scared witless about is that when the film does get made it is only released in the US, I'm in England. Independent films are hard enough to make in the first place, distribution harder still, and then global exhibition... I really hope this comes together, even if I'm unable to get to see it.
Keep up the good work, seriously, this film sounds too good not to make!
I have a feeling it will make it out to England. I heard about a recent movie that got it's financing by first securing foreign sales, then went tot he banks. I have no doubt this flick would get a good box office response in your neighborhood. The story, in essence, is quite commercial. It can practically be a "studio" flick. But studios are so cookie cutter, it would be reduced to something formulaic in their hands. The trick is to get this going "independently"!!! Thanks!
You can send them to smaller production companies...but they usually look for what is selling. Also, there are a few good websides like Inktip which help to sell your script. Finally, screenwriting competitions are always fantastic resource to have your script reviewed.
these vids are really helpful to like see wat really goes on i hope that this works ourt for u and id help if i could but idk wat i can do to help....i mean u already got the #1 vid on youtube! so i don't think that publicity is ur prob...
A holiday movviee? comeon! Please let it have all that good independent movie goodness like LOTR or something like that...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT MAKE ANOTHER TIM ALLEN LIKE SANTA MOVIE GOD PLEASE
Love your confidence. Wish I had that sometimes. Sometimes "Confessions Guy" runs on fumes. But as you can see, I'm still moving so actions speak louder than words, right?

We're the grunts behind pushing the gilded gates of Hollywood down so the next wave of future film makers can get in. In the spirit of Lucas, Copolla, Spieldberg who always worked together to make magic. If you need us just drop a line and Chop Suey Entertainment will hold it down for you. Peace

Man, you are great. I'm Italian and we have the same shit in my country, if you want to make a movie you have to eat tons of it. I studied to be a director and reach something in this business is almost impossible. I sign up on youtube only to said good luck to you. Keep going and be sure, I will go to see your movie, like all my friends will, even if will take years. You are the living proof that if you want something you need patience and perseverance. Like we said in Italy: In bocca al lupo!

Wow! You're words were very kind and inspiring to myself! I'm so excited to hear that my embarrassing (and amusing) confessions reached Italy! But more important...it reached your fighting spirit. Manteniamo il combattimento!
Grazie molto!

good luck, man...
I hope to see your movie if it gets in the works. :D
Although, your skills with skits and as such...
You can maybe first make yourself famous by being a comedian/actor/host and then push for a film! But anyways, with the way things go, keep on what you're doing.
The best of luck...

just take the meeting, if that doesn't work, use your "You Tube" hype to make your own film crew and have them make your movie for free. just find a way to pay them if it is successfully distributed.
kinda like the stock market.
notimeformyspace 3 years ago
Great idea. Another commenter made the same suggestion. Interesting thought. In response, there is already discussion (with our group) about another project being 100% grass roots! As for this one...we're going to keep moving forward according to plan before resorting to the "grass-roots" funding. GREAT IDEA!

gogogogogoo!! doo it!! your just doin this for drama purposes rite? you kno, like a soap sitcom or somthing? eh? eh?
if i was rich, i'd give you money rite now, but i'm not, srry.
shoeman415 3 years ago
No. Not for drama purposes. I am TRULY making a movie. I've had other commenters ask me straight up if I was an advertising firm or some sort of studio ploy to build hype for something else. I assure you...I am the real deal and after observing the "ups and downs" of previous development deals, I keep telling myself, "OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO HEAR THIS DRAMA BECAUSE IT'S FRIGGIN' HARD TO MAKE A MOVIE!" Thanks for the willingness to throw in money! (smile)
confessionsindiefilm 3 years ago
have you tried just selling the script?
notimeformyspace 3 years ago
Yes. It has already been optioned and I've received offers to sell the idea for cell phone and/or ipod media. I turned those offers down because concurrently I would receive interest by management groups and production companies that would want to make this movie! If this script never got interest, I would sell the idea and move on. But the more interest this gets, the more I am convinced this HAS to be made and not simply sold and shelved. Great thought.
confessionsindiefilm 3 years ago
OMG are you crazy take the meeting. There are at least 8 different avenues ie: Veoh TV where you can go an only watch the most watched vids on youtube and other broadcast yourself networks. Honestly, would you take the chance on someone who can actually make this happen and snub them???
fubunite 3 years ago
My sentiments exactly -- OF COURSE I'LL TAKE THE MEETING! I totally jumped at the chance and now we're gonna see what happens! You are right. Perhaps I need to check out these other broadcast networks. What are they?

You're in the boat I was in dude. I got on TV, radio, and newsprint for my adventure, and I got a TON of exposure... but it didn't translate to anything. Youtube is the same way. Hey, if you figure out how to turn youtube exposure into something valuable, let me know. Cause I received a ton of regular exposure and... nada.
adventuremaniac 3 years ago
Wow. Not sure if I should feel encouraged. (Of course, I say that with a dry tone, heh-heh). Why, this blasted town is pretty callous. But I guess this is how I am masocist myself! (like the plug to your page?) I keep throwing myself in there and I can't help it! Awesome vids, dude. YOUR stuff is quality youtube entertainment.
confessionsindiefilm 3 years ago
That could very well be part of the plan. One of the reasons I'm still negotiating with the animation company is to work out animation samples as part of our development deal. Then, these things could be revealed in a tactful way (whether on YT or something else). Every move is like a chess game. We have to project what may happen ten moves down the road. But you are right, indeed!

I agree with RamirandJames drop some clips of the movie here or make a trail of it and post it so they can see what their getting, this feeds the YT buzz, and im SURE major people watch YT so you never know man! Think about Chris Crocker, he don't have even 1% of the talent you have, and he's sorta semi famous, (not really) but you know what i mean! Cease the moment man!

As an animator/creative type myself, I must state outright that I'm allergic to money and as a left leaning 'save the world' type, have slightly less than zero business acumen. However, perhaps you could set up a website with some kind of donation/ sponsorship component, which will give your fans a small sense of ownership of the project.
For example, donate a 100 bucks and get your name in the credits - donate 1 million and get the naming rights of a minor character etc.

confessionsindiefilm 3 years ago
I like what you're doing. I hope the film works out for you. I really think I'd love to see it, what I'm scared witless about is that when the film does get made it is only released in the US, I'm in England. Independent films are hard enough to make in the first place, distribution harder still, and then global exhibition... I really hope this comes together, even if I'm unable to get to see it.
Keep up the good work, seriously, this film sounds too good not to make!
HistoryBuff1990 3 years ago
I have a feeling it will make it out to England. I heard about a recent movie that got it's financing by first securing foreign sales, then went tot he banks. I have no doubt this flick would get a good box office response in your neighborhood. The story, in essence, is quite commercial. It can practically be a "studio" flick. But studios are so cookie cutter, it would be reduced to something formulaic in their hands. The trick is to get this going "independently"!!! Thanks!

You can send them to smaller production companies...but they usually look for what is selling. Also, there are a few good websides like Inktip which help to sell your script. Finally, screenwriting competitions are always fantastic resource to have your script reviewed.
