A Matter Of Perspective

Gnomic Utterances Week again. Agree? Disagree? No idea what I’m talking about?

Making a film and marketing a film are not two distinct things.

    I think the problem with this is, that the act of second guessing what people will like is about living in the past..what DID they like, what worked before? In order to make something new there is no alternative but to trust yourself and hope for the best.

    So really, that brings us back to the ‘Make it for yourself, and don’t really care if nobody else likes it’. That way, you get something you like, and just occasionally others will too, leading to far more innovation than you get out of ‘mainstream’ film, which is produced to make money.

    Or, you could, y’know, ask them what they like. That works too.

    BTW - how did you get to “just make the film for yourself” from that Gnomic Utterance? It’s not what I expected.

    They don’t know what they will like, they only know what they liked.

    Not true.

    For example, I know I’d love to see a touching love story between a timelost Zen master and the neglected, visionary wife of a debauched Romantic poet. That sounds cool as hell.

    To the best of my knowledge, doesn’t exist yet.

    t’s a humorous metaphor, but comes from a worldview where, in my opinion, chance (luck) is given way too big a role. There’s more science to this thing than we sometimes like to admit to ourselves, and less dice rolls.
