Kids get so caught up in pre-production shit that they never make their movie. If you have no more than enough money to spend on a camera, and something to edit with, then that’s enough. If you can’t pay actors, then hire your friends, and if you have no friends, then ask people at random. If you have no story, then make one up as you go. There is no excuse for anyone today not to make something in their garage that’s ten times more original, fun, and talented than something made for millions of dollars.

"There is no excuse for anyone today not to make something in their garage that’s ten times more original, fun, and talented than something made for millions of dollars." if only that was true. It supposes that all films that cost million of dollars are pieces of shit. I do appreciate the advice tho. been tackling with those issues ever since i left film school and to be honest, when those films you suggest should be made are shown, i always feel bad for the poor bastards. like, oh darn why did he do that. on a time,where everything is captured on film, or on cellphone when the history of film has been surpassed by Youtube uploads, and the images there have polluted film forever, what's the value in polluting this shit, further on? I mean i think and I think and then I think. better not. it's gonna be a flawed piece of shit, with the excuse "oh it's amateur (but it's fresh), oh it's young people with a camera (but it's candid), oh it's a debut film (but it's honest). you know what i'm saying? i just question that.

What did you mean when you referred to Herzog as an "Up and comer?" You do realize he made his first film in 1962 and has since added almost 60 directing credits to his name, right?
