: :
: : I'm putting forth honest effort to make my own, full length, low low budget film.

: : Today I was actually scouting around my grade school for some old chums and little kids I want to put on a soccer feild that will be in the immediate backround on this big dolly shot.

: : It made the movie feel more like a reality, like this is something on some sort of substantial horizon.

: : The budget, which may be subject to change, is currently at $7,000.

: : Dv, casting call and local theatres acting(actually paying a chunk to them to), lights, action.

: : I'm (yes, I'm trying to be kevin smith,or spike lee, or vin or clint eastwood) the writer and I am directing it.

: : My teaching goes as far as dvd commentaries( my favorite, if you care as far as informative, is boogie nights) and books, lots of books And lots and lots of tv.

: : It's not really like Clerks or chasing amy or A better place, although it will technically a jersey flick.

: : It's(if you care to know) is about two twin brothers who are born 5 minutes apart, one on july 31st at just before midnight and the other born on august 1st at about 12:02. Incidentally that is the marking for school years and when the boys are older they have to go to different grades, this forces the boys to make different age friends and really make them two different types of people, while stil being so close.

: : Then the older brother kills himself(for reasons that will be in the movie)_ and as a result sends the little brother into depression and makes him become a complete misanthrope(Ok, so a little bit like a better place). Then the story takes a love story style turn when the younger brother meets a girl who is determined to teach him that people aren't so bad, once you get to like them(no, that won't be the tagline).

: : And as this is a really major deal I want to make sure that my movie will have some sort of audience once it's finished.

: : The board is certainley not the deciding factor as to whether it will be made, but I'd like to know if you'd see it, and just any feedback you have.

: : Thank you for reading all that. Be kind.

: :Not to be an SOB or something but that sounds pretty cliched. Thats cool if you are actually serious about putting a movie together, though.
