Advice from Film Makers Usable Anywhere

Independent directors give advice to new film makers.   Since making a film is a mixture of creative and technique, it’s pretty much like any other endeavor.  This short video clip has a little advice for everyone.

Sam Raimi “Spiderman, et al” – Just make a movie every week and you’re a film maker.  Similar good  advice as “writers write” and “just do it”.

Guillermo Del Toro, “Hell Boy”  - “Don’t back off”

Quentin Tarrantino, “Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs” –  Have the passion and just make the movie even if you throw it away.  Then Tarrantion comes off as a pompous dick by giving the advice as to how to make it today, just make Reservoir Dogs, (his first film) because it’s a kick-ass f—- movie!

Robert Rodriguez – “El Mariachi, Sin City, Spy Kids” – Probably my favorite — he suggest “do it in Spanish and subtitle it — they’ll think it’s an art film.”  Starting immediately, Enquiringmimes will be written in Russian with translations available.
