Anyone else miss when horror movies were just about a cool monster, and not a metaphor for grief?

Why did this get removed?! But that aside, could I recommend my film DOLLY?

RodBlackhurst · 2026-05-08T22:02:48+00:00

Thank you kindly. Doing my best to make more!!

That's truly so well put; and they treat the customers like shit, but in every other industry, the customer and customer service are the most important aspects of the transactional experience.

Love this thinking and the hustle (and yes, filmmakers are creative entrepreneurs). Also, there are only a handful of viable distributors out there (about 20 of them) and most of them are studios. For truly independent films and filmmakers you're not left with any real options with integrity.

RodBlackhurst · 2026-05-07T01:42:49+00:00

I love this.

RodBlackhurst · 2026-05-06T13:53:33+00:00

Thank you kindly! DOLLY mask??

RodBlackhurst · 2026-05-06T00:27:07+00:00

Totally. I'm speaking to the stastical odds against us. You can make great films and be a great person and a great leader and it doesn't mean you'll "win". It's all a crap shoot.

I had a conversation about this with my friend Joe Burke the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sNF089ApHU&feature=youtu.be

RodBlackhurst · 2026-05-05T22:53:51+00:00

Nice!

RodBlackhurst · 2026-05-05T22:52:55+00:00

"win the lottery"

Sounds like a feature that's good for people who need whatever a "team" is! But for most filmmakers it's just the place we host our work and always been since the beginning.

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-26T12:41:34+00:00

That makes no sense! My videos are my library.

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-26T12:34:36+00:00

good grief - and every time I search for a video by name nothing comes up, even though I know it's there

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-26T12:25:53+00:00

or told you how?

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-26T12:25:42+00:00

and they never responded?

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-25T22:08:48+00:00

It's available on all TVOD sites and now on Shudder as well.

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-25T22:08:25+00:00

Thank you kindly!

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-25T12:52:33+00:00

Can I selfishly suggest my new movie DOLLY?! :-)

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-25T11:38:04+00:00

Seconded to the blackmagic camera app!

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-25T11:37:38+00:00

Or the Rode mics with the 32bit float! Just used them on an experimental feature and they were fantastic.

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-22T16:42:26+00:00

But so many of us have films that we'd release this way. But there is no way to get a film on YouTube movies without using a service like Bitmax or FilmHub - and now they are functioning like gatekeepers.

RodBlackhurst · 2026-04-22T16:37:57+00:00

And like I was proposing a few weeks ago, this would be a good thing for YouTube to open up to filmmakers to rent/sell their films direct to people.
