sharedo you really expect anyone to click that link? LOL
Don't care.
shareWell hi Neil!
hows it going? any news on your new film? hard to finance?
Indie productions are always hard to finance. But I've done it twice already so a third time doesn't feel impossible.
shareah i understand.
especially when the previous work didnt break even. i feel you, that must suck! well best of luck
im really looking forward to the next film
Didn't break even "yet." Both my films are on Amazon Video/Amazon Prime, stream on commercially-sponsored Roku channels, and available on DVD. Alongside Night is also on iTunes and available on Blu-ray.
My manager Joel Gotler told me early in my career that books, stories, movies, and TV shows are like real estate. Once created they never go away and can always be re-sold.
I love the example of 1960's Little Shop of Horrors, made by Roger Corman for $27,000. I don't know if it made back its budget in drive-ins but in 1982 a musical based on it started off-off-Broadway, moved to off-Broadway for a five-year-run, and was made into a $25 million movie musical in 1986 which both made money and won two Oscar nominations. A re-make is currently in the works.
Lady Magdalene's has original songs performed by Nichelle Nichols in the movie. A stage spin-off is possible.
Alongside Night is a possibility for a series based on it.
Ya never know.
well they say that hope is that last thing to die, so at least theres that!
The boards are closing down so let the lulz flow...
After reading that Alongside Night is available on Blu-ray, I ambled over to blu-ray.com to check out the listing, and blimey I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Seriously, the cover art looks like the product of 10 minutes in Microsoft Paint. Even the DVD and BD logos aren't even integrated into the background properly. And the layout is utterly haphazard. I also had to laugh at the usage of quotes from negative reviews.
I have actually designed DVD & Blu-ray covers, and even my efforts as a 12-year-old trump that garbage. And now I can knock together a professional-looking cover in a matter of hours in Adobe Photoshop. It really isn't that hard.
Ah, Neil. The stench of narcissism is even more potent that your body odor, which I can smell from all the way over in Australia.
And I laughed even harder at:
