I said to myself, for quite some time now, “I gotta do SOMETHING.” Tired of projects failing, hating the junior high cliquishness of crowdfunding, realizing it’s been too many years. I sought the Holy Grail of indie filmmaking: two people, one room, one day.
So, at Thanksgiving time 2014, I took an inventory of what I had:
-A living room where I’m house-sitting.
-An old car.
-A creepy old man.
-A couple storylines that had been ‘backstory’ for my failed passion project EVERYBODY SAYS GOODBYE–The Story of a Father and Son.
-Zero dollars.
-Some connections in the acting community in Fresno.
-The upcoming SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL.
-A pathetic old computer that almost runs Adobe Creative Suite (I’ve used Adobe since 2001).
The result: HOT CAR. I finished it yesterday (damn pathetic computer!) and am bringing it with me for the fun of it when I head to SUNDANCE tomorrow.
“The worlds of an old man and a young man collide as each faces the end of his own life.”
It’s MATURE (language, nudity, sexual situations) and NSFW.
I hope you find it interesting and involving.
Good for you for going for creating with what you had in hand, instead of waiting for someone else to make it happen! Kudos! This expression will lead to other open avenues.
