So, here I am, sitting on my couch... blogging about something I should be doing right now. If there was any way that I could find, say... 1 or 2 grand (in US$, though it would be cool if it were in ruble) then I wouldn't sleep for the next two days. Sometimes it feels like that is all it would take to make a movie.
I've tried to make a feature before, using only what props I could scrounge up, what actors would do it for free, and my handy camcorder complete with... um... broken tripod. I thought I had everything in place, right up until the first rehearsal came around and only one cast member could make it. It dawned on me then. It dawned on me that you can't make a feature film with volunteer personnel based on the ratio of hours required and total compensation.
However, I do not want to give the impression that this is my dead end. I am merely briefly lamenting my situation. I'd like to get you more or less acquainted with my situation before I start professing my love for my dreams and aspirations. Just know that I have been there and done that when it comes to making and attempting to make movies.
Next up in the blog is the tearful tale of my experiences trying to produce my first feature film.
PS: I'm not going to make it overly dramatic like I did to this post.
