: : 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
