: When I first saw Drawing Flies I didn't care for it. Not trying to be rude, just honest. But I watched it again last night and to be honest, after giving it a second chance, I kind of dig it.
----Thanks....it grows on you...If you let it.
Like fungus.
Out of curiosity, what was the budget?
-$40 000
The reason I ask is I was curious if you had more or less cash to produce Drawing Flies than Vinnie did A Better Place.
---Same amount.
Because, no offence, ABP was better (in my opinion), visualy, than Drawing Flies.
---It was a different style....alot of DRAWING FLIES was shot intentionally in wide shots and static esp. at the beginning....to convey Donners (Jason Lee)frustration with his stagnation.
Of course the problem is the audience starts to get a little agitated...who knew?
but I agree...Vincent is a much better technical filmmaker
Was the b/w due to lack of funds or was it a style thing?
----Kevin wanted both films shot in BandW....Vincent chose to fight it...I chose another battle to fight.
In the end.....I appreciate that Kevin made me do it.
I love the look of it...........Thank you DP Brian Pearson
Now, now.. Don't let your head get too big.. ;)
----I have a fat head....nothing to do with ego.
Also, out of curiosity, I know some things were said between you and Vincent on the board that were, shall we say, not so nice. Is this a personal thing?
----Me and Vincent always used to have a healthy competitive thing.....We don't really know eachother at all.......When we see eachother were civil...That's all I know
I read someone's post where it said (I'm paraphrasing) "They're just like two 10 year old boys, competing for daddy's (Kevin's) attention."
----Without a doubt....Vincent is the favored "son"
: PS:I seriously doubt you remember the wallpaper I did with 'all' of the people involved with the flicks and forgot to put you in it.. lol.. But sorry about that.
----It's fine.....I'm not really apart of the "Askew" family.......was just pulling your chain
