hey myspaceroos,
Since we have been promoting Andre the Butcher since the last days of the Ford administration, many of you have had the good sense to ask us what we are planning to do next. In fact, one of my newest Myspace pals asks me this very question just two weeks ago in my comment box. And that's how long it took me to formulate this answer.
Uhhh.. beats the shit outta me.
Of course there is more to it than that. Everybody who has done any sort of work in entertainment knows that for every project that comes together, there's about three, four, maybe fifty that don't. Shortly after Andre was sold to its domestic distributor, we were quickly snatched up to do another Andresque horror comedy. We wrote the script, several drafts, and even did a little casting (the results of which are in my top friends list - sorry ladies!) but the movie never came together. I blame it on bad luck and the inherent douchebaggery of certain parties involved. Meaning of course, everyone but Phil and I. Cause we are bad mofos.
So since then we have been chasing money all up and down the state and across the country. We've got a lot of contacts with money and connections, but not a lot of action just yet. And for the most part, we aren't despairing. Because, hey, its a lot of money. As Phil likes to say, "remember when you tried to get 20 bucks off your dad? Wasn't easy." And yes, we are asking for slightly more than 20 bucks, but the lessons is still there. Here's one of my aphorisms: 90% of indie filmmaking is learning how to eat shit and waiting around. I may actually be a bit conservative on my eating shit figures.
But, but, but! Are we being needlessly bitchy? The truth is we are working on something that we are so fucking excited about it has literally made incontinent. Well not literally, not since I started using Flomax. No, but we can't hype it up like a lot of certain somebodies that post up websites for movies that are coming out in "summer" when in fact, they haven't even been written. We're trying not to look like assholes, at least no more than we look like assholes than normal. Especially Phil. He looks a total dick sometimes. I digress-
We are working on something right now that is going to be some fantastic shit, but we can't say anything about it, because at the moment we don't know if its coming together tomorrow or next year or whenever. Imagine that poor dude from Eraserhead having to have that ridiculous haircut for the 8 years or so the movie was in production. Except that our hair looks that regardless of the production status. The big hold up is, of course, money. We need to find a significant increase to do what we want to do, and its just not that easy to find. But we will get it done, sooner or later. When it comes time to make the big announcement, we will do so. Believe me, I'm dying to talk this one up.
But when will it all happen? Uh...beats the shit outta me. And thats the truth, Ruth.
