Because otherwise, basically what you're saying is, you're ticked off because your friends no longer want to take your orders and work for free so that you can acheive YOUR dream.
Selfish much?
The only way to get your friends to really want to be involved is to make it their dream as well. Talk to them, get them motivated, share credit with them as much as possible. Ask for their ideas and opinions. Make their energy become part of the project so that it's not yours alone.
And if that doesn't work, get new friends. Or raise some money and hire people you don't have to be nice to.

: I've got a ? for Kevin here. Maybe even 2.
: Anyway, in pursuing my creative endeavors, I find it has become progressively harder to get my friends involved in my productions. It is really frustrating since now I'm ready to do a major project instead of goofy basement videos, I can't get them to do this shit. Was it easy or hard for you to do the same when you began with clerks? Was it a matter of having good people skills to keep everybody in check or did you just have great friends that were Really supportive to your cause?
: Yeah, I guess that's 2 questions. Good enough for now.
: Thanks.
