  1. True, but we've taken it to the next level by using someone with no acting experience. It's like Bresson Style. You get a much more realistic vibe. A real empty style. I quite like that.
  2. We've done a teaser trailer which is more top level. We don't feel doing a regular trailer will work so much. I'll post it next week. Hold TIGHT.
  3. Well our USP is the "fat unattractive woman" we found off craigs list to be the main part with no previous acting experience. We wanted to go against the grain so completely. It's a massive gamble but we felt it would make the thing stand out. Rightly or wrongly.
  4. What do you think of the cover Richard? Reckon we can sell it? Where do you live Phil?
  5. Can this thread be locked. We don't need any more of this filth in the world. Thanks.
  6. Cheers mate, Can't wait until the trailer is made. Poster art is getting done now. I'm so excited. We're going to hire the prince Charles cinema out for a private view for cast, family and crew. I reckon I'll submit it to Sci-fi London, Cannes, Edinburgh film festival, raindance. Exciting times ?
  7. Setting out to make a commercial film is a disgrace. quote name="Freya Black" post="444751" timestamp="1452420382"] I think that people making art films often have another job. Sometimes they get work in academia. There are lots of options for making different kind of films and financing them. One problem is people get all this stuff confused. If you are looking to make a commercial film then you need to think about marketing the film and genre and various other stuff. If you are making a more personal film then it might be best to forget all the fancy equipment and really keep all costs right down. People seem to get caught up in a lot of stuff that doesn't matter that much. Freya
  8. Here is a still from the film Essex Spacebin, featuring Steamboat Willy from Saving Private Ryan.
  9. Phil I'm sure you tried to approach Netflix direct with your student short shot on hi8 but I've got a feature film with the guy from saving private Ryan who played steamboat Willy in it yeah !! Trust me this is next level not genre crap.
  10. Yeah if I were you that maybe true but luckily I'm not a muppet and I'll have my premier at the prince Charles and they'll be begging to buy all territories muhahshagaha
  11. There is no sex and zero violence. There is however swearing and some drugs and the main star is a very fat woman who has never acted lol
  12. Very true. But Im sure we will get it on Netflix. It's loads better than most of the crap on there. This is gonna be a classic!!
  13. Some people should stick to creating Vimeo camera/lens test movies. Some people should grow some balls and self finance a 35mm feature. And if it fails. Who cares, because I will be on my death bed saying, I DID IT. I made my own 35mm feature film and did it exactly how i wanted too. I didn't cry on internet forums that i wasn;t supported by the industry and no body cares about me. waaaaa waaaaaaaaa waaaaa
