CONFESSION 15: Confessions of an Independent Filmmaker

[SEANnaee]

gee dude , i wish i was as motivated as you in whatever i do ! i tend to quit halfway a lot !

[SelfmadeMonkeys]

Instant classic - you brought me into your world, took me along for the ride, made me laugh, made me cry, made me vomit, and gave me an odd craving for pickle juice. Love it!

[tthring]

Hi, great job !!!! I loved it. I am taking digital filmmaking. You are awesome. The up and down of emotions, your humour and your ability to share your story with us is just great. Unfortunatley I cant help with your dream. I have had a few of my own and can relate. I wish nothing but sucess for you. You are a great actor to. Take an acting job and fund your own movie! There's always two ways to skin a cat.Keep them coming the videos I most enjoy them.

Yours Tracy

[JohnBanzon]

Hi! This is Jon. I made a new account to clean up my old one (and killed it). My, how time flies! So this is it huh? THE American Film Market. I hope they buy your idea, dude. Or we have to watch a cartoon about blue men who can't figger out how they're reproduced in the first place. :)

[grafskates2]

Hey i wanna see that smurf movie

[PoppingYovi]

Good luck!

[blueprudence1]

my Hero vomited over a rejected phone call?

DUDE, pull yourself together all is not lost, the holidays come every year.

Pru's advise take the acting gig, DONT sing, shoot only if shot at first, do NOT comb your hair and we will still be with you, god willing, next holiday season when the movie gets made.

Love Pru, who has really really started to dislike those little blue Smurfs ~boo Smurfs~

[Samarakijf]

U should have ttok somebody hosatge in that place and make ransom demands for funding. lol

[bindashee]

[briandoom]

[confessionsindiefilm]

Tell me about it! Cold calling is as scary is calling a hot girl for the first time for a date!!!

[Juliannarfdu]

AFM seems pretty cool, did u go too many screenings?

[confessionsindiefilm]

I just shopped the movie. But it's a fun place to watch the movies! I watched only one screening. We were impressed with their work and now we're seeing if there are possibilities working together.

[Scottnygd]

[confessionsindiefilm]

Please tell me it was the puking!

[Mitchelljimd]

[nfridd22]

[mountsins]

what is your film pitch about anyway?

[Nocturne06]

He'll never give that secret up of course, understandably, if you watch all the vids, well - I gathered from all of them that it's a family holiday season movie which does NOT involve "Smurfs" .. :D

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks, Nocturne. You're exactly right. And to top it off...I just saw the smurfs on the friggin' Macy's Thanksgiving Parade! @%$^&^!!!!!!

[SlimShad99]

awesome concept for a youtube show guy! I luv it

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks! I wish something like this was around before I started working on my movie!

[ChrisRex0r]

Somebody is going to offer you a nice advantage don't pass it up.

[confessionsindiefilm]

I'll keep my eyes open Rex0r

[JonathanMorse1984]

I've been watching since your first video man and your struggle to make your film has inspired me to get off my ass and make my film. After posting short films on my channel (that channel has since been suspended for NO damn reason), I was contacted by a screenwriter to direct a low budget indie film. My film will be on a much smaller scale than yours will be, but my work has payed off and yours surely will too.

[confessionsindiefilm]

TRIUMPH!!!!! I want your story, dude.

[NathanielVidal1]

hmm youtube is widescreen now...

perhaps its time to film in widescreen?

imagine the possibilities!

[Chellagon]

Been watching since the first vid,those female voiced,film makey sort of people who are bastards to indie film guys are

douche bags.

Eh?

[BritFilmLover3]

Is there ANY way we can help?

[Nocturne06]

I've been following you since your first vid too, it's awesome what you're doing, being an up-and-coming filmmaker myself, it's interesting to see someone else do things his (or her, if you were a girl, which you are not, but we have to be politically correct now, haven't we?) way. I'm looking forward to the day were you post a "Confession" stating you're in post-production of your movie! Good luck!

-n0c-

[confessionsindiefilm]

Thanks! I look forward for that post too! And if I was a girl, you would know, becuz I would be getting a bagillion hits on Youtube! I hope these mis-adventures gives you a good idea of steps to plan for regarding your movie. Don't give up! Go out there and make it! Now is the best time. Tomorrow is the worst. Catch me? Holla to my "Entourage!"

[walidb123]

u sir, are the bomb.

[steroidssavedmylife]

That was a good look at afm. My buddy was going there this year to pitch his stuff

[confessionsindiefilm]

Dude...it's brutal. I'm gonna hit it again for another project I'm working on. We should meet up! (Or perhaps I can meet with your buddy.)

[dsraiders16]

the award is shiny...

but im sure that once you get this movie done you'll be getting plenty of awards yourself. i've been with ya since the first vid dude, keep at it!

remember the wise words of our little green friend Yoda, "Do or do not. There is no try!" Go do it, make it happen!

[confessionsindiefilm]

You were watching from the beginning?!? Awesome.  Consider yourself a part of the "entourage"!

[MetalGearRien]

Goddamn it, sorry that it was rejected man. The people who are watching your videos are still rooting for you though, don't forget that.

[steroidssavedmylife]

good episode buddy

[colmonhs]

I see "that" movie was done..

what the &^$%^%..

fr@$#%..

Dag nabbit..

As you see I'm a bit frustrated..

I wish you all the luck man..

BTW Zondar was wondering..have you ever considered making an "Aliens gone wild" video?

just throwing it out there..and he mentioned something about an actor named Roger?..he seems to be quite popular with them back in the hood..

"you only fail when you stop trying to succeed"..an old Zondarian quote..

[Dissappearring]

Total props for doing what you are doing,

and especially for sharing what the experience is really like.

Best of luck

[inkiw]

He knew your face from youtube - IT'S A SIGN!!

Also, you = Awesome.

Keep up the good work, we're all rooting for you!!

[722productions]

Keep persevering. All this hard work will pay off in the end!

[bennymcfarlane]

you turned down that movie direction gig so you could pursue this one didn't you?

[sOLeeSoL]

lol..I was thinking the same thing. Dont worry confessions guy, it'll pay off!! I believe u can do it! :)

[dungheap123]

You can doooo it! Today is my B-day too. :)

[confessionsindiefilm]

Happy birfday, dungheap123!  Hope this drama is somewhat of a treat!

[Cadegoestocollege]

good luck! Keep at it! ;)

[losoyo]

Keep up the Good work man. If there's anythign any of us can do.. Just say so! If I ever see you on the street, I'll buy you a drink.. or atleast a Mcdonalds kids meal.. Which ever is cheaper!

[confessionsindiefilm]

I'm all down for a kids meal, man.

[djsuperstar717]

cool

[wareya]

Hey, you got your editing to be more estastic! If that's even a word, it's supposed to mean "less conformal".

[Ebonyheartbreaker]

Bro...you're doing the damn thing man keep pushing because you're doing something that so many of us wish we were! From the Chop Suey Entertainment gang

[confessionsindiefilm]

Holla!

[sephorrud]

Keep going man, you will make it!

[cinebo]

Dude that's AWESOME! Not the rejection part obviously but the fact that you are slowly making your way into the system. From everything I have heard of, rejection is common so don't get bummed. You will make it man. Keep it up and don't give up. =)

[cjrocs52]

nice try, bad fake puking

[confessionsindiefilm]

what are you talking about? that was real puking. yeah, real. and my wife was there...morgan fairchild. yeah, that's the ticket!

[confessionsindiefilm]

it doesn't just suck. it sucks gargantuan bamboo dookey

[MikeyNL1038]

aw, man.. rejection sucks!

you are a celeb now, being recognized and all ^^

M.

[YellowSwitchPalace]

Dont worry confessions guydude! U can find someone to help you and SAVE THE UNIVERSE...with ur awesome top secret movie

[squiggly9]

hahahahahaaha that poster thing... that just sucks

[pfranks44]

why didn't you take that directing job??

[darkerpower]

I was thinking the same thing.... if you had got your career up and running then, you might have been able to have made your movie by now. But I'm sure there are other reasons. <.<

[confessionsindiefilm]

I took it. But I told them that the movie would cost more money. After entering development, the budget started to climb. They went with a local director to save money. At the end, their movie cost more than I projected! That's the biz, though. I wish them the best of luck! They finished! That's a huge accomplishment.

[pfranks44]

haha im sorry. thats funny how it ended up costing more...

[Rhoran]

You are not a looser. P.S. First the worst, second the best...

[dsraiders16]

1st zomg lollllll

(p.s. i no im not first...)

[dsraiders16]

or mybe i am! id like to take this oppurtunity to thank the academy, filmmaker dude for entertaining me, hope all goes well!

[WWEbruh]

who gives a shit?

[confessionsindiefilm]

Congrats raiders! How does it look up there to receive an award! (sigh) The things us dreamers dream about.
