- That’s how James Cameron described his newest film, “Avatar.” He wasn’t referencing the script, acting, or music; but the way people literally saw film, especially big-box office CGI (3D) driven film.
In the same way, I believe that THE HOUSE, and the other projects I am currently working on (Utopiland and a project I will call "Untitled") will be “game changers.” No, I’m not trying to compete with Cameron and his latest mega-budget film, but I am trying to change the way people perceive independently produced movies with budgets under $1 million dollars.
Typically, people see independent films as “small personal films”… and nothing more. Yes, there are many cheap independent horror/slasher films and various shoot’em-up action flicks, but to come up with something that is original, story driven… and has an element of “epic” in it as well? That’s usually unheard of. Why can’t an independently produced film be epic-looking in its shots? Why can’t Indie films compete on the scale and scope of ideas that big studio films do? Are we really that “small?” NO WAY!
When you see my SM profiles on places like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc. I always describe myself not as independent filmmaker but a “revolutionary” filmmaker. There’s a reason for that: I want to change things! A Game changer? Watch the opening scene of THE HOUSE below, and comment on our YouTube video. We want your opinion!
ps. This isn't just about THE HOUSE, it's about a completely different way of doing things. I'll go into this more later. But for me it includes Utopiland and the "Untitled" project (the reaction to the "Untitled" project may possibly change my course of direction on certain films). This new way of doing things has already radically altered my way of thinking.
