Hey John, so what’s a reasonable best case scenario for your movie. Could it hit theaters, or make it to Netflix?

Hey John I’m currently in film school and what your doing is truly amazing and I hope everything is going well. I’m curious about the Red camera you are using. What kinds of problems are you running into, if any? Also any hands info you can give me on the camera would be greatly appreciated. I know you’ve got a lot of work to do with long days and all so good luck and keep doing what your doing

John, how did you get this whole thing together, i’m asking because this is something i’m very interested in and always been. I love hearing people’s success stories with indie filmmaking and their process to get there. You got a lot of high placed people in there such as Robert Sanchez, the kid from Shock, all this equipment. On top of that your running TMB out of your own pocket now, that’s gotta be something man, how do you manage? Your quite organized let me tell you, because you’ve been in LA for a few months am i right? I’ve read some horrible stories of people going there and either it takes them forever or they can’t make it and have to come back with their tale between their legs. This is a very personal issue to me as i plan on going down there, but i need to be as ready as i can. Sadly i don’t run anything like TMB, if only!
You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want but i’m really intrigued and interested by this.

I wish you continued success man, your doing a great job!

In reply to Pardon.

Hey Pardon,

Oh trust me… this is low budget by anyone’s definition. The good thing here is that because I have some amazing friends who are willing to help out for next to nothing, and mine and Robert’s connections and resourcefulness… we’re able to do this movie for WWAAAYYYY under what SAG calls an “Ultra Low Budget” movie.

I figure if anyone else was doing this movie the exact same way we’re doing it with the exact same equipment and people it would probably cost about $250k. I’m very lucky to have some great relationships here that allow me to do this for a fraction of that.

Basically, low budget filmmaking (regardless of how low your budget is) is about making the very most out of the limited amount of money you have… and being resourceful.

I’m just doing the best I can with the help of some great people. Will the end result be amazing? Maybe, maybe not… that’ll be up to other people to decide.

In reply to kevin [ jonathancranehiscameo].

Hey Kevin,

I’m not sure. To be totally honest directing isn’t my dream. I’m only directing this because I really liked my script and this was the only way to really get it on screen.

After we’re done, I’ll have to sit back and decide how much I enjoyed directing… and if I was any good at it or not.
