Anybody make movies for a living? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu Man · 12-09-2008, 12:31 AM

Well, anybody on this site make movies for a living? Any big names? Or are you just an average Joe? Are are you a major "playa" in something else.

Gamma_Winstead · 12-09-2008, 12:34 AM

Not for a living yet, but I hope that when my first film releases sometime in 2010, I can get recognition and get a major studio to back one of my more ambitious ideas.

Average Joe.

And I wouldn't call it 'a living' right now.

Just finished a music video for this band: http://www.delicamusic.com paid of course.

Also, I was just an extra on the movie "Suck" which was an awesome experience.

I'm an average joe and enjoy blu-ray very much. I've always had a passion in being involved in film or acting but since I have certain disabilities that may block me from succeeding. Oh well I don't care. As long as I have my HDTV and my PS3 I'm a happy man.

Well, whats your name? What films do you make? I'll support you so that you can make bigger movies. I give everyone a chance. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I have Serverance on DVD, I thought it was pretty good! A good mix of British humor and some horror elements.
