Every so often there’s a media blitz about a group of people who used their credit cards to fund a really low budget movie that gets shown at Sundance and then the filmmakers get a three picture deal from one of the studios. Give me a f@#*king break! Do you know how often that really happens?
The reality is that most independent filmmakers don’t end up with deals. They make their movies because they have to, and then end up getting rejections from distributors, film festivals, even their families. So what, they’ve made a good movie. It no longer seems to matter...
Well, here it is gang, the ugly truth. The "Corporate" Independent Film World doesn’t want you, or your movie. The odds are your film isn’t going anywhere unless you do it yourself.
That’s what I am doing. I’m making movies, touring, teaching workshops, having screenings, and self distributing my work. So come on in, check out my site and see the lengths to which I will go to get my work out there.
Come back often, tell your friends, and hey, BUY some of my stuff!

You don’t need dear sweet Aunt Bea teaching you how to make movies. It’s a tough business, so you need a tough teacher. Kelley Baker, flamethrower, is what you need.
