just wanted to let you know that its great to read and see something from you again. I only discovered your film Four Eyed Monster and in consequence this blog of yours two or three weeks ago. Since then I’ve been coming back on a regular basis to see if you’ve written anything new. Please keep up what you are doing. It’s great!
Your work and everything that you do is very inspirational, which is also why I have already directed a few of my friends towards your work. I seriously hope that it will motivate those who are too scared to follow their desires to do so nonetheless. It is also great to see that the possibilities in film are there and what is happening in the US film industry. We live in Germany and out here independent film seems to only take place behind closed doors. With the financial crisis now more than ever.
In consequence our opportunities appear to be a bit more limited as well. Besides the fact that independent film appears to be a lonely road there are no equivalents to current tv, kickstarter or other things along those lines in Germany. Of course this doesn’t make independent film making impossible, but it certainly makes it a bit harder. I seriously hope that more opportunities will be created with time so that a larger quantity feels empowered to follow their creative passion and that a shift in mentality will cause people to work together more to support each other.
