Sup Forums doesn't even WATCH films. What makes you think we make them?

98% of the user base goes to the kinoplex with mommy and daddy to watch capekino because their parents feel guilty cause they can't afford that trip to disneyland

[Dominic Rodriguez]

You'd be surprised.

[Andrew White]

I'm going to make a dashcam video of my roadtrip through the Rockies. And then speed it up and upload it to instagram as to appear interesting to women who are on the fence about me.

[Christian Price]

Thats a way to seem well-travelled

[Chase Harris]

wrote down some very rough drafts for some screenplays in 2017. maybe ill work on them this year, who knows

[Mason Jenkins]

Still working on my story treatment. It's not yet interesting enough to justify being turned into a kino.

[Jeremiah Cox]

Hahaha top kek, it'll work too

[Luke Stewart]

I just finished a two minute animation to send around film festivals.
>mfw watching animated shorts that were screened at festivals last year that are clearly of superior quality

[Brody Allen]

I've done this 3 times with different road trips. I've actually had 2 coworkers start to think of me as 'the cool video guy'.

I am not a cool video guy. But I'll take it.

[Matthew Fisher]

Theres always gonna be good shit at festivals that make you feel down.

Anyways share your animation.

[Sebastian Murphy]

A point for discussion; How do you guys think all this political shit affects us?

Are we gonna see a lot more quotas? I'm a 23 year old black guy and know all this Time's Up shit is gonna do is help white women and I'll still be left with my dick in my hand.
And what's with all the antagonism of not just white guys but guys in general? White guys tend to be more interested in this whole field which is why they dominate it.

[Nolan Johnson]

he's right, i haven't seen a movie in like a year.
when i tried to see blade runner with my friend drunk i blacked out and dont remember most of it

[Logan Harris]

But bladerunner is a flick not a movie, so I fail to see how thats related.

[Brody Gray]

nump

[Camden Hernandez]

Still working on the edit for this short.... But soon ill start working on other projects

[Nathan Allen]

[Gabriel Stewart]

I'm making a short with Unity because I don't have any friends. It's just a fun hobby

[Jaxson Taylor]

no one ever makes films with friends, they always fail. You get excited hobbyists to work with.

[Camden Turner]

nice
in that case i think i've never seen a movie ever, save ex machina

[David Jackson]

Anyone got any long term goals for 2018?

[Logan Carter]

I do some film shorts, produce maybe 2-4 of them a year, they each accumulate about 80 hours of work and then I upload them to separate YouTube accounts with gibberish titles.

I don't want to become famous or attract any kind of recognition, I do this out of passion and I don't want that to change.

[Aaron Sullivan]

only 80 hours of work? Are these like blogvideos or something?

[Adam Diaz]

In 2017, I went to present my second feature at a film festival in Cottbus, Germany, and finished the screenplay for my third which I am planning to shoot once it gets warmer in Belarus.

[Jeremiah Bennett]

interresting. interresting. What/and or/who funded your newest project?

[Grayson Sanchez]

Nobody. There is no film fund in Belarus. I am going to film it on VHS (not kidding).

[Cameron Green]

and the previous two?

[Jeremiah Sanders]

Same.

[Isaac Foster]

*Same as in they were both no budget projects, they weren't filmed on VHS though.

The second one was filmed on a Blackmagic.

[Luis Parker]

I got 7 years of experience. Writing scripts, editing, shooting, writing/producing the score is all second nature to me and I never second doubt my ability or do re-shoots and I don't fuck around, I respect both my time and the actors I hire.
