If you watched “RYAN” last week on this blog, you know of which I speak. If you haven’t start there and then come back.
This short was conceived and animated by Ryan Larkin.
Day: August 28, 2013
I watched four movies the other day, and it was a wide variety at that. This is my favorite time of year — the time when film festivals entice me to binge on numerous occasions for numerous days in a row. Yet, I am entering this season, with some real dread: a fear that my most recent conclusion will soon be verified. I know I can never get enough movies but at the same time I think we need to halt much of what we are doing — if not making the films, then some of the ways we go about it.
For the first time in about twenty five years, I have had a year off from truly producing. I am not trying to earn the lion share of my income from generating new work, and after being slave to that dictate for so long, it is a welcome relief that hopefully grants me some new perspective. Nonetheless, I still define myself as an indie producer, and as such now damn myself as well as all my comrades when I look at our culture, its results, and I attempt to see things as they really are.
Indieland is cursed. We are sick and infected.
