RED HANDS diary






How to make a feature movie in 6 days for $500 with a 4 man crew.

1) come up with an idea which is too weird and too small
2) show this idea to your manager at the Pitt Group to confirm that it's too weird and too small
3) fire your manager because you no longer need his expertise
4) use craiglist to post an ad asking for visionary movie-makers and actors to come together to take advantage of new technology to create a fresh paradigm of movie making and distribution
5) meet with people who respond at the Big Foot Lodge in Atwater, because the atmosphere is very David Lynch, which creates the correct mojo
6) explain to everyone that there is no pay for this project and that whatever footage gets created becomes community property
7) shoot the movie using the "environment" methodology (i.e., instead of imposing a singular artificial vision upon an environment, use real world locations to further conceptualize the narrative
8) post pictures from the shoot onto your blog and let people know when and where they can see the movie, once it's done being edited
