One more thing about the new $7,000 Robert Rodriguez movie.
Well, a couple more things.
At this point, it's perfectly obvious that you can make a movie for $7,000. Making the money back is the hard part if you're not Robert Rodriguez. Earning a living at it seems impossible unless you can get a teaching job out of it.
The real questions now are, how do you get good performances out of inexperienced or non-actors if you're an inexperienced or non-director, how can you write a passable script if you're not a writer and how do you make anything watchable if you have limited experience and indeterminate talent?
I keep seeing movies that are bad but I can't put my finger on what went wrong. That's what I find alarming. That you can fail miserably and not know why.
