Arrow Million Dollar Film Project

I know that a lot of people have Debts or just need money to go on
vacation and stuff...

Well I thought maybe we all can do film together...

Not have to have any acting experience or film experience....

I thought maybe we can find a perfect location where
we can film and shoot...

Come together with film ideas and all...

1. I need to borrow somebody houses...
2. I need many people to wear prop costumes
3. I need many people to play bad guys
4. I need many people to play good guys

No matter how many people, I need a lot of people to volunteer
to do this fun film together....

And we can together make money off this film project...

by selling DVDs on Ebay, showing at theatres, go to film festivals...

We can all do it next summer... don't that sound fun or what?

Levonian, you rather picking up Monkeys' poops all of your life than

hmm... I think somebody might use my idea and then make lousy movie
and then failed and will tell me that I can't succeed because they didn't
succeed...

They will never know unless they give me a chance.

Hey why not have an AllDeaf Caucus in Memphis, Tn... and
I'll pay for BBQ from Neely Bar B Q resturant and
We can go visit Graceland, and stay at the Heartbreak Hotel...

Good idea???

And you guys can stick around and I can film you guys in my movie...

Why do you have all this stuff if you're never going to use it? And a typical 35mm camera probably costs more than your momma's house. How did you get one in the first place?

I NEVER called any of my clients or anyone "Chicken" for not using my design service or even they don't buy my art or photography work. You need to simmer down, you're showing them the wrong attitude. No matter how mad you get for being turned down to participate your movie project, you should be professional and say "That's alright. Thanks for your interest." and move on to somewhere else and find new people may in your local area. Keep in mind, Your clients will ALWAYS remember your bad attitude and/or name callings. That's how people lose business clients forever. Take a chill pill and accept the fact that's it's ok if they don't want to participate in your movie project. Move on, dude.

You got me pretty good. However, your thread sound serious. There was no "Just kidding" anywhere in the thread and I thought you were going to try to do some experimentation on filming. Filming is becoming really popular these days because you don't have to spend $50k on equipment to make short films and you can market them via internet.

It's definitely fun to joke around but at least warn some people that you're not serious about somethings, some professionals like me who would think you're serious about stuff like that. I was just surprised there were some name callings there.

All is good. Glad to know that you were joking around.

I don't wanna do film.

I just wanted to know how they make film and stuff...
All I know is... it is a lot of work.

Male friends offered to help me make film... I said no.

And I made a special Wedding DVD for my Aunt and Uncle in California
and they asked me if they can give me cash for it, I told
them no.... it is free....

Go for it! What's keeping you from making your dream come true? I want to be a professional fine art painter with a international exposure. It's going to take time to get my name out there, but I already got my name in the local and regional market and it's starting to pick up. My next goal is to enter national art competitions to get a national exposure. Then move on to the international art market. Hopefully, in 5-10 years, I'll be make enough money selling paintings to become a full-time fine artist. It takes one goal at a time.

I don't see why you can't own a video store, go for it! There are small business programs for minority group and you may be able to find funds to open your business without having to pay anyone back. I live in a small town where it's famous for feedlot & meat packing business. Because of that, the hispanic population makes up of 55% of the entire city population of 30k. There are many hispanic business being opened here using a small business program for the minorities and most of them are doing well. Check 'em out!

Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE!

I agree with DeafWest Studios...Go for it!!!! We need more deaf business owners, independent artists and so on. I have this dream since I was in high school. I want to be an interior designer but after high school, I didnt have any money for design school so I went to VR and u know what they said? They said I cant be successful in that field cuz I would need to be able to communicate with the clients..mind u that was back in 1990. I was only 18 years old and very impressionable so I gave up that dream. Now, I regret it and I am sure some people will tell me to go for it. School is so expensive and I have 2 kids. The school where I work as a teacher is losing the student population to children with CI's being placed in mainstreamed programs at their home schools so if my school shuts down then maybe I will go back to school for interior design. LOL!!! It is something I still think of from time to time. Hmmm..

Well I know...

all I know is... Life will never be easy.

I know that I am my own worst enemy....

And I screw up my life so bad on purpose....

If only If only If only....

But you know what? I can turn my life around.....

And you may never know that I might hurt Netflix.

Cool, did you get Tom Cruise and his film crew to use homes and acreage
there or did anybody famous asked you if they can film on the property there?

Don't worry about it Geek.

Deaf films are a waste of time and money.

I was so glad I left California when I was helping Deaf film crew with their film....
Glad they didn't put my picture on their website.
Only thing I am pissed, is that I drove way over to California for nothing, to help them make movie
At least they should have let me stay while I am there for nothing.

But I am glad I went home.

I wish I could work with hearing film crew who are more professional.
