But it's a surprise to know you got a $10,000 movie to gross 1 million...and your next flick funding is still a struggle. Aren't there people out there who will get you $500,000 budget.

My biggest battle with funding the next project is because I essentially did Kisses and Caroms all alone. I didn't have investors to impress with repayment, or a slew of other craftsman to see first hand that I was a stand up guy and worth re-investment. For all anybody knew, I was a dictating ass of a scrooge who bullied the movie into existence, and who wants to work with that?

Networking is everything in this biz, and without it, it makes it hard to get the next project off the ground.

In truth, I'm hoping the book helps raise awareness of what I'm capable of and that I'm a good guy who's worth the investment.

OR that it brings in bucket loads of cash so I can be a dictating ass of a scrooge who bullies the next movie into existence. ;-)

Then, reading this book, made me realize that I CAN do it! I can get this done!

I'm right at the production phase now and am invigorated with new found hope.

I rented Kisses and Caroms from Netflix too. No review on that yet as I can't get past the first 5 minutes without getting sleepy for some reason... :Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

When the smoke clears there's boobs and a few jokes to see/hear.

Vince, do you own a RED? Perhaps that's in the book, which I hope to check out.

No, but we shot Box of Shadows with it. http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33772 Kisses and Caroms was shot with 2 Animorphic lensed DVX100's.

Also, will add your film to my Netflix que.

Cool. You can also stream it free through NetFlix's watch now.

Congrats on a number of levels, the book, the movie deal, and surviving depression (hopefully beating it for good).

I was always a happy guy before, and still am today. Life has been very fortunate to me and I'm grateful, but in the midst of distribution hell, things changed. I now know better of what to expect and hopefully the book will help prepare others to keep their depression at bay.
 
Here's a 1 minute trailer I made for the book Rebel without a Deal.

It's NOT shot with the RED. It was shot in 1 take with the Canon HF S200, set to 24pa and Cinelook on.
Cheep green felt from a fabric store was used for Green Screen.
Rough edit in Final Cut.
Fine tuned and keyed with Keylight in After Effects.
Color correction with Synthetic Aperture in After Effects.
Foley recorded with a Countryman ISOMAX EMW Lav & a Zoom H4N
Music by Smart Sound Sonic Fire
Final audio mix in Final Cut.
 
Very nice effect. The first thing that stuck out to me was the 2nd pair of arms that pull out the stuff from the can. The skin tone of the 2nd arms looks too different than your original arms. Great concept for the video. I'm half way thru your book (reading between film projects), will send you a review when I get around to finishing it.
 
This thread rises from the DEAD!

Hey, my second book, "11 Simple Steps to turn a Screenplay into a Marketable Movie: or, How I got a $10k movie to gross $1 Million through Warner Bros" is available for FREE to Kindle users this Thanksgiving weekend.

Happy Holiday! and Happy Reading!
