OK, Kevin, I've asked for a job before--like an idiot--and I've tried to even see you lecture when you were holding a symposium or something at UCF... which, of course, I've missed every time. This has to be the next best thing.
Alright, so film making thus far has been a monumental disappointment for me... Studios are literally filled, jam-packed, with assholes who won't give a brother a chance. Agents just don't care. Ok, screw them.
But I'm going to make films even if it means the obliteration of myself and everything around me...
Dude, whats your advice???
You must have gone through the same shit as everybody else so how did you deal with it and what can you say to a guy with the drive of Millenium Falcon but a budget of "cero"?
By the way, Kevin, "Dogma" kicked ass. I liked it mostly because I feel the same way about religion... I'm usually disappointed with things dealing with spiritual because I find them to be facistly forcing their beliefs on others. I haven't seen anything I've really connected with like "Dogma" since I read that book "The Stranger".
Anyway, this is way too long.
Take care, take it easy
