i would put el mariachi up against any of the over produced hollywood crap that your afraid we will los
how about embrace and support the medium as a channel
fund your project with kickstarter
develop open source based development principles ( a day in the life style)
establish social causes that actually improve the world as the foundation of your documentary (yes men save the world)
or 113 other solutions that don't take away anyone elses rights. |
The post can't be seen in the UK, so irony there.
As you have no idea of how much it costs to make films why do you post ?
Say we want to make a documentary on Russia 20 years after the fall of Communism, a serous subject, you would need researchers, camera people, sound, director, money for airfares, hotels, meals , editing... for one hour you would need anything from about $300,000. IF YOU BELIEVE IN PAYING PEOPLE AND PEOPLE HAVING A CARE
For a feature film, just take one scene out "The Wild Bunch" The Mexican Army is bombarded as hundreds of rebels on horseback attack, the Army cram on to the period Steam Train firing their guns at the attacking hordes....Exploding shells around the train pulls out..
How many "kickstarter" projects to pay just for the train ?
A scene like this could cost $10,000,000. You want the film for free?
You risk destroying a major industry for an industry that gives us a cat playing a piano.
Independant cinema, that you say you like, has been hit much more than Hollywood.
