I would first like to thank Rob for
making the video that I am presenting to you today. He touched on so
many of the problems with movies today. I wish that I could say that
he is only correct about studio films, but low budget films and micro
budget digital films suffer from the same problems.
Readers of the blog know that I have
problems with CGI and the god awful screenwriting that dominate the
playing field, but there is so much more and the video below touches
on things that I have overlooked.
We need our heroes back. I do not mean
another Marvel film. I mean big time film makers. Why is it that most
of the truly great thrillers come from places like Korea. Memories of
Murder came out almost fifteen years ago. Where are the domestic
answers to that kind of film making. We have the basic equipment. We
can raise the money. I know that we can craft the screenplays, but
they do not get done.
Maybe too many of us are chasing money
instead of quality.
Look it, I thought when I started this
blog almost five years ago I would be networking with amazing film
makers and by this point in history the digital revolution would have
changed the industry forever.
Instead too many film makers are either
walking away just when they are getting good or dreaming about
cashing in at Netflix or Amazon. Allow me to offer up the three F's
that you need to consider.
Fuck Netflix, Fuck Amazon and just go
out and make some really good Fucking movies.
Okay I am back with my Freebie offer.
Today I am giving away ten free copies of my Audiobook on Writing A
Low Budget Screenplay. The first ten people who email me at
cannonbooks777@gmail.com
with a request for a copy will be sent an Audible.com code. Even if
you do not have an account there you can use it anyway. This is for
those of you who are having problems with crafting a low to micro
budget screenplay or just want to improve your screenwriting.
