The initial enthusiasm of the people I've asked has turned into frustration on my part, mainly because I can't get the 3 people i thought would be the most willing participants. Unfortunately because of unforeseen scheduling conflicts I may not be able to get one of them and the other two may not want to appear at all, perhaps citing artistic differences; difficult to believe when there's no nudity or gore in the film.
NO NUDITY OR GORE?! ARE YOU FILMING THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE?!
I know the only reason that the majority of audiences only watch indie films is for the gratuitous T+A, confirmed here by Kurly Tlapoyawa-
When a veteran whose sole business has been to make independent features tells you some basic general wisdom you ought to take notice; trouble is the already schizophrenic rating system is out of balance, hence the amount of profanity already inside the script may lead to an 18 rating or an equivalent NC-17. However, I might be able to get away with a lower rating without nudity and therefore get bigger exposure, besides story doesn't naturally lend itself to gratuitous nudity and I'm already struggling to turn a sausage-fest into a gender balanced film. This does lead into a sticky territory of whether I'm compromising my artistic integrity to placate censors that are fairly out of touch with modernity.
SOME BOOBAGE WOULDN'T GO AMISS THOUGH.
Porno is practically free nowadays; you wanna see 'girls next door' type girls (which is pretty much all I could score in this) it's freely available- don't believe me? Google that shit, then you can go ahead and ....
*MMMMWAHH*
Suppose you'll want some spoilers now?
*NODS*
Alrighty; The full title of the film is PAYEDAY, spelt like that because... well google that shit yourself. Anyhoo, here's a semi skimmed version of the plot-
A party held at the end of every month by the protagonists of the film is put in jeopardy when one of the group secretly smokes the group allocation of weed and doubles up the order. All is well until the payment, in full, is demanded by the druglord.
Unable to return the money of people already coming to the shindig, they're forced to scam their way to the total or face the druglords wrath. Along the way they make peace within themselves and each other and come to a common understanding.
There you have it. A film that has yet to get 4 principal members of its cast, that has already cost me a total of GB£ 753 before anything has been shot, that requires a shell company to be created so that any one of many anal retentive organisations have something to sue should their cash reserves run dry, that takes place and shoots inside what has been dubbed the centre of the swine flu pandemic in Britain, whose writer started the script as a rom-com and turned it into 'Office Space meets Havoc' because some chick turned him down,
WHOSE RUN ON SENTENCE IS STARTING TO PISS ME OFF
Sorry, it's just that all I wanted to do was shoot a film laissez faire; as it turns out shooting will be the easy part, all the stuff leading up to it will be a huge a mindfuck. Co-operation through discretion is seldom found when wanting to do something grand, perhaps its life's way of letting you know you're on the right course.
The Austin Spill Party 2009 is coming along nicely. I've already got a few things in the works. Now all I need is an idea about how many people will be there.
Hey guys,
Sorry for the delay. We've all been busy with life and for myself I've been organzing another get together in London. It will be on 28th of November on a Saturday and before you ask no Korey isn't coming. Just a bunch of Brit Spillers w...
