CONFESSION 13: Confessions of an Independent Filmmaker

[kscaliatine]

I like reason 2. How very kind of you.

[DirectedBySteve]

10 years... I have a feeling you're letting a lot of positive opportunities slip through your fingers. I;m working myway upi your videos. and man, if you haven made the movie by epsd 30. Give up! Take your next offer!

[parrotpotterstudio]

anal probes rule. you went back for more. just kidding. ever think of acting? I'm sure that is much easier to break into lol

[gsxer01]

You can't get funding because you spelled "Looses" wrong, its LOSES with 1 letter o, not LOOSES with 2 letters of o in it...

[confessionsindiefilm]

You're right, dude. I gotta get my act together before I loose more opportunities. (smile)

[briandoom]

maybe it's because you are "loosing" them, like "release the hounds!!!"

[mauigoddess2000]

Hey,

I'll be on reality TV!

I need all the help I can get to get my documentaty funded!

Reality TV!

Sure!Why not!

Maybe we can make it to Cannes in May!!

[cinebo]

classic my man. I love your stuff. Always puts me in a better mood on those off days =)

[tone2287]

hahah good one man.

[VmkRainbowRose1]

lol at first when you said you could be on tv, i was like 'dude, why wouldn't you do that? all your subs would love that!' but after your reasoning i totally understand how bad that could be. When you get your movie out there, ill definitely watch it and hopefully the rest of the world will too lol

[ryanology]

my opinion, because nate, my opinion is very important, is that #1: you are better on film and tape than most of the people you've filmed and taped. and. #2: just think of ron howard, he started on a reality show and now look at him.

[34leadjoint]

make it happen dude

[lovelovesugar13]

OMG, I am just rooting for u to get this movie in theaters!!! OMG.

D:

I Did not realize it was this complicated.

Good Luck! :3

[SelfmadeMonkeys]

Good luck Confession guy!  But just be prepared - if you go on TV, they may actually make you comb your hair.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Curse you, SelfmadeMonkeys. Curse you. You may have won this time...but I'll be back!

[blueprudence1]

naw the TV people didnt make you comb your hair did they?

0 : )

[RadPie]

I do quite enjoy these videos, but instead of focusing all on this one movie, ever consider trying on different shoes [or ideas]. And also could you maybe do a confession talking about how to even get start becoming a film maker, like what steps to get into a film school? Don't give up, and keep on keeping on.

[confessionsindiefilm]

I do have other projects in various stages. But this one particular project started it all and the fact that it actually got studio attention last spring made it an interesting story to share! Perhaps when the time is right, I shall shift the spotlight to these other creative endeavors! Good insight about film school! hmmmm.

[RadPie]

Do you have any tips for aspiring film makers, I'm currently in grade 11, and I'm going to become a screenwriter and director, and I was wondering what I could do now to make my chances better.

[ucfbran18]

Let me ask you this... at what point will you give up? I too am a struggling film maker and I think its important to have a deadline. Otherwise you will be struggling forever! I see guys all the time that are 50+ years old and "still trying to make it!"

[confessionsindiefilm]

I tip my hat to dreamers 50+ who are still trying to make it! Those guys are AWESOME! Dreamers who pursue their passions are LIVING their passions! As for me...when will I stop? When my knuckles bleed, ucfbran18. Bleed!

[rustkill]

I have been watching you since day 1. Keep it u p! You'll get out of the trenches eventually, and good luck with the TV thing.

[HeatherSchultzMusic]

I'm right there in the trenches too! I'm still fighting though, so you don't give up either ;) There, ya heard it from someone in the trenches. But neither one of us are staying there. I'll see you at the top! =)

[confessionsindiefilm]

That's the spirit! I'm right behind ya!

[sOLeeSoL]

wait, if ur behind him, then who's leading??

o_O

[BlackJack7z]

Hilarious as always. I feel a little guilty for saying that when you are also expressing frustration. (shift guilty eyes left and right)

I am glad you didn't hear TV's siren song. You are definitely close. Keep us posted.

[yasharox]

So um... When you're big and famous on TV... remember the little cyber-people who watched you since the very beginning!!!!

[confessionsindiefilm]

Remember the who???

[dagonut2k4]

He means remember the people that watched your videos from the start and have been cheering you on the whole time. =] Like me.

[nanogirl]

My own "confession here", I would watch you on tv,.... although of course I Hope you get your big movie deal!

[lechonmanok]

watching that video was like watching a movie with the plot twist being you actually accepted. haha. goodluck man.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Wait until I expose myself as the alien that abucted myself!

[magicpaintbrush]

don't give up dude! were all behind you

[Dreccomel]

Dude!

What the f$^&%$ was that?

What were you thinking... Say "YES"

Some sacrifices must be made before reaching the goal!!!

You might get the anvil, however you might just make it...

Don't let the fear of success hold you back...

"DO the TV show."

Reach for the stars you might actually get one... Look at it this way free advertisement and national exposure...

You know how much money per year politicians pay to have the same publicity. We are with you, man!!

"Do or do Not - There is no Try" Yoda

[confessionsindiefilm]

I'm goin' for it, Yoda! I sent my casting reel and we'll see what they say! I'm all for free-publicity!

[Dreccomel]

Yeah...

Nice... Dude!

I look forward to see you on TV...

Keep us posted, man...

[aznbeauty17]

=D Seriously you should become a comedian. I just love watching ur confessions. Good luck with the hype bizness. x

[nendo917]

dont give up dude, keep pushing on

[briandoom]

TV show?  could happen! go for it! of course TV people are even more notoriously flaky than movie people. Can't hurt, right?

And by the way, please learn about the difference between "lose" and "loose." I beg you.

[Tocher35Productions]

I was goin say if you didn't go for that I would have come from toronto and stomped a mudhole in your ass.

[ImportFlavour]

I can do "the worm" on the dance floor. you're hilarious! all the best...

[totheboondocs]

Nice! I'm a dreamer because I'm broke not lazy, lol, but I'll be watching that show. keep it up man!

[confessionsindiefilm]

Broke dreamers are the best ones!

[rubberjimi]

Do it.

Totally do it.

[colmonhs]

I'm Zondar from before...please wait for our spaceship at the top of the hill...we are interested in your movie...and before I forget bring vaseline.

Sorry man....I wish you all the luck.

[confessionsindiefilm]

THAT...was brilliant. and yes...I remember Zondar.

[newbielives]

I will watch this TV show and when the hype from that show helps you make your movie, I will watch your Movie :)

[juacos2]

dude u know that ill be a fan till the end so when i say this i mean it go to the tv show. producers will watch it and investors and youll be able to make the movie and make millions!!

[confessionsindiefilm]

I hope your still a fan if I become a multi-bagillonare recluse who looses his mind and then other people make movies about me. (Hope they cast Johnny Depp)

[Ebonyheartbreaker]

Good post buddy...Chop Suey has been out there in the streets moving like you man. Great to hear you got that buzz from the TV show hope it helps out.

[squiggly9]

[Lighteningzero]

Do you see how close these things are? AND THESE ARE REALLY CLOSE!

[confessionsindiefilm]

I know, right?

[djsuperstar717]

lol;

cool

[geekepic]

Dude... 

Awesome.

[postmodernucsd]

Do it! What could it hurt? It is an AWESOME opportunity -- It's YouTube times a zillion!

A lot of the best things that ever happened to me did not look so good when they first showed up... and they surely did not look like what I wanted.

doitdoitdoit!

ps- just do it

[confessionsindiefilm]

What could it hurt? Well...it could be those friggin' aliens again dressing up as television execs so they can abduct me for a THIRD time!

[Se1]

HOLY SHIT !!

DUDE ! GREAT GOING !

You've always had our support, you still got it man! Go on TV man ! Get that hype, get more of the public interested, Getting you more people from the higher ups interested! You got this on lockdown !

I don't know why, but im really happy for you man! Keep it up! You can do this ! =D

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks Se1!

[boomerxxx]

Well, a lot of famous people started out with a simple TV-show.

[larrythetvaddict]

great video, listen if you were to do a tv show it would attract a bigger and new audience, do it i say

[fitzerg]

Well the information is still too few. Ask the specifics, have them email you a detailed plan of what they can do for you.

You can only be interesting in TV only if the show will promise positive progress (means your movie will be funded). If you can definitely show that making movies independently is possible and real, people will love to see that. I will agree to this offer ONLY if they can provide an investor that will fund the movie. As far as im concerned that's only what you need now.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Good thoughts. Way to to be wise fitzerg.

[SINUKAYA]

you would be a good investment.. this is america...capitalist..etc..med­ia....go accept the tv offer...!!!!

[confessionsindiefilm]

Friggin' capitalism.

[dogaronie37]

hahaaha opening the bottle thing, lol

[SINUKAYA]

accept the tv offer..

it will boost up your fame, contacts, and you will meet alot of "movie people"..ALOT.....

then you can start doing you movie..

take my advice...

it will cost you nothing...

goodluck man! i will be the first one to line up if your movie is on the way!

ps: TAKE THE TV OFFER!!!TAKE THE TV OFFER!!! TAKE THE TV OFFER!!! TAKE THE TV OFFER!!! TAKE THE TV OFFER!!!

[confessionsindiefilm]

I'm doin' it, doin' it, doin it' well.

[YellowSwitchPalace]

Awesome man! Can u tell us anything about the show? It'll be really freakin' awesome seeing you on the TV!! cant wait

[cinebo]

dude that is BAD..ASS man. I have nothing but good hopes your ya bro. Do it man get in on that. I'd watch you on tv no question. You're a riot. You ever see american idol?..the losers half the time end up making it bigger than the idol winners lol. DO it. Any exposure you can get would be good.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Uhhh...did you just call me a loser? (smile)

[cinebo]

[Johanzu]

[blueprudence1]

[reallybigemail]

I've been watching your "show" since I found it on my iPhone via YouTube. I think you're very funny. Have you any acting experience? And do you work in TV or theater?

Best of luck. I hope to one day watch your movie on the BIG SCREEN!!! Go get em.

[confessionsindiefilm]

No acting experience. Just A.D.D.

[HnrGl]

I love your videos. Unique style :)

And of course a cool real life story, best of luck to you.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks finland! Doesn't get any real than this, huh!

[madkata]

Ingenious! Break a leg and make sure you let us know when your episode airs! :)

[confessionsindiefilm]

If this works our (or whatever works out), I'll confess through the whole thing so I'm sure you'll know the big dates!

[jordanh109]

you are on your way brother. do it. TV sounds good

[addictedtomtb3]

hahah that was creative.

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thank you. I think it's in the sugar I have every morning.

[blueprudence1]

~thud~ she's so confused, like that unusual eh?

hell I'd watch you on TV I even have one with cable!

she says do it, do it...

We ADORE you, from TV star to Producing your own movie, yeah its happened before, here's your chance.

GO FOR IT HERO!

xxoo Pru

[ejinathan]

This rly sux. I know unlike other people you want to get of "the lazy butt", but it's not always simple. I see you getting predepressed all the time. You rly need to make youre vids popular here and try to get the youtube mainattraction. When ppl see how sincere you are they might get interested. Btw how is it posible to live in you're condition when you get tackled everytime by studios.

[confessionsindiefilm]

I don't know how it's possible. I think I've grown numb.

[apaschoalini]

In Brazil, a Musician went to a Reality Show on TV with only one purpose: Sell his Album! Every time he kept saying about it, he was always singing his songs, he kept on reminding the audience of his album release date, he whore T-shirts with his album cover. Wen he got out, they had to produce more and more CDs, cause it was over in the stores within a week. He never sold so many records. Think about that before you choose.

[Ericspasstime]

would this reality show afford you more time and resources to put into making the movie? It would be great if you had a commercial made up for the movie to git more hype

[confessionsindiefilm]

Clever idea!

[Nocturne06]

"Cartoon butterflies", LOL! Do the TV show! Do it! - and do the worm! :D I'm editing my movie for a month now, I hate editing! :(

[confessionsindiefilm]

I recommend lots of chips while you edit. Cheetos. And coke. Anticipate a huge butt afterwards.

[bladedude101]

Don't lose hope :/ You need to get care from somewhere.
