Feels good man.
>>63002986
You have no ideas and you're not willing to flesh out those imaginary ideas into film because you have no balls and complain on the internet.
People have made great films with barely anything at their disposal, back in the days where you had to rent huge cameras, buy separate audio equipment just for any sound, and buy FILM on top of that.
We live in a wonderful age where you can easily do so much more with digital cameras. Yeah they dont look amazing, but theyre a lot better than what they used to be.
Quit being a lazy faggot.
>>63002986
It's easier than ever to make a film m8. You can get a decent professional quality camera and microphones for <$10k now
.
If you actually had a passion you'd be working towards it.

It's better to be an Ed Wood, than a Nobody.
I suffer from this too bro, but I know myself that if I don't do something, then I'll always be a nobody.
Another thing is that you can't compare yourself to someone famous/successful. You can be inspired, but never compare.
Even if it's a piece of shit with the worse quality possible, you still make things, get them out there, and improve.
>>63003180
Your movies are gonna be shit for at least a decade no matter how many times you've seen Citizen Kane so you better start now. The only way to learn how to make movies is to MAKE movies. This is one thing literally every filmmaker can agree on.
>>63002986
Fuck off. We live in a technology age where people can get really populair real fast thanks to the internet. You just need a camera and creativity. If thats too hard for you then you should kill yourself.
>>63002986
>>tfw you have excellent cinematic historical knowledge and a passion for the medium
Thanks for the keks. Basically you're saying "I want to make a movie and think I can do it because I've seen a bunch of them."
>>63003358
This is absolutely true but it doesn't mean nepotism isn't as bad as ever. Landis is a literal 0/10 talent and he has FIVE major film credits at 30 with no stopping in sight.
>>63002986
What have you written OP?
>>63003326
>>63003421
This is the truth. You can sit home and watch Barefoot Contessa every day the rest of your life, it's still gonna take you 10 minutes to cut your first onion. It would have been better to buy a sack of onions and a knife on your own decades ago and fucked around until you taught yourself.
Yes i know the metaphor went full retard
>>63003428
So what? Focus on your own life
You faggots are missing OP's point, this guy is the son of a producer apparently, obviously he didn't do shit to earn what he got, where as people like most of us would have to work our collective asses off to achieve what he got handed to him. Nepotism is the root of all evil.
>>63002986
>tfw trying to suck it up and stop giving a shit about failure
>tfw only made two shorts and they both are kinda crappy.
I mean, at least they're not "lol muh suicide" or "muh relationship drama", but I can't say they're particularly inventive either.
>>63003358

You can't do it, faggot?

He wrote Chronicle and a weird essay on "The Death And Return Of Superman" (think Drunk History for Superheroes). The latter was actually fairly entertaining, because he seems to know what he's talking about.
>>63002986

You are never going to make it playing victim desuuu senpaiii start filming shit or stfu and get btfo
>>63003501
>root of all evil
No, I would say human selfishness is the center of all evil, but whatever lets you sleep at night knowing you'll never have the balls or the work ethic to go after what you love.
Why dont you just die in a hole. That's all youre worth if you continue on a path towards nothing.
>>63003501
>I'm going to cry cause one guy has a slight advantage over me
The point your missing is that you and OP are using this excuse to scape the possibility of failure by not even trying
The reality is that spergs sit around and watch Tarantino and Fight Club on repeat all day and willfully delude themselves into thinking they're learning about film because that is literally the easiest thing you can do with your time. It takes effort to go out and get equipment and film and learn and work with other people and make mistakes and grow. It's easier to sit around and pretend your putting in work so you can be bitter and blame the world while still being lazy and not taking responsibility.

That's not true, anyone with a functioning brain has ideas.
Also fleshing those ideas out into film requires money a lot of times. Lots of it. Dumbfuck.
>People have made great films with barely anything at their disposal, back in the days where you had to rent huge cameras, buy separate audio equipment just for any sound, and buy FILM on top of that.
We're not in those days anymore, grandpa. You pretty much have to have a shit ton of money to begin with or beg for money on the internet to get something going.

Doesn't matter, cameras are only the beginning of the battle.

This is what these faggots don't seem to get really. I have ideas and id like to make movies one day, but I'm a poor nobody. "Hey mister producer, give me money to make this film. Why? I'll tells ya why mista, cuz I'm determined and don't take no for an answer! h-hello? m-mister producer...you hang up? Uh OK then, I guess."

btw this looks shit
>>63003960
It's simple
Make a shitty version with digital camera, low budget etc.
Then send it too a bunch of producers with all the info
Then if they like it maybe you'll make the movie you want
If they don't then at least you made something (who knows, might become a cult classic)

>>63004324
Better to try and fail than to not try at all
Also if you actually have talent the low budget film should already be pretty good
It also depends on what kind of movie you want to make.
If you want to make a space opera or action movie then yeah, you're pretty much fucked
Most other genres are pretty accessible without heaps of money

>>63004435
>hard work
Yup that's is kid, hard work is the reason more people dont get into the entertainment industry. It's not like its designed to keep un-connected people out, or anything. That'd be ludicrous, ludicrous I say, that an extremely profitable industry would exclusively promote from within and only within. Ludicrous.

I am not interested in making movies and I am not complaining about the fact that others are making movies.
>>63004324
>The world isn't a place where you try hard to succeed
Well right now you have done neither so I'm not sure you're qualified to say that. If you try hard and don't succeed, either you suck or you were trying hard to do the wrong thing. Neither is bad, you can get better and you can divert your efforts elsewhere, but you won't know to do so until you have fucked up at least once.
>>63004324
>The world isn't a place where you try hard to succeed
I'm glad whiny faggots like you arent attempting to make films, or do anything for that matter. If any filmmaker felt the same way you do, they would never do anything of substance or significance.
If you don't believe in trying hard and living life, and you really feel like you should just coast through life without any passion or true interest, then you might as well just lie down and die. You're worth nothing. Go to hell.
>>63004324
>The world isn't a place where you try hard to succeed
How the fuck have you even survived this long
>>63005515
I'm guessing mostly by the efforts of others, which affords him lots of free time to complain about how the world has done nothing for him.
>>63005626
>>63005406
To be fair, the more intelligent you are the more likely to are to realize that hard work is, in fact, meaningless. With few exceptions, good looking people are handed everything and have zero legitimate accomplishments, and everyone can be killed in a car accident at any time. After all that, in the end you die and/or you watch everyone you know die. Nothing you do matters in any way, shape, or form. The dumber you are, the more likely you are to be able to ignore all that and "work hard" anyway.
>>63005768
I hope you find a job soon. Things will get better, anon.

>>63005865
>>63005897
You're really just reinforcing my point that self-deception via impaired intelligence is the only actual path toward happiness, with few exceptions. Smart people are not happy unless they're extremely good looking, in which case they can effortlessly coast through life on a dopamine high from the constant social validation that they experience merely from walking out their front door.
Both of you are mentally retarded as evidenced by the fact that you have these pictures saved on your hard drives. In reality, you both deserve to suffer extraordinarily, but this life has afforded you the opportunities associated with being literally too stupid to realize the complete futility of "hard work." Go out there and get 'em, boys! Remember, there's no I in TEAM! Take it to the next level!

>>63006038
The more you work, the less time you have to sit around and think about the futility of life.
