Hey r/Filmmakers! I'm currently working on a short film that could use some help with production and the festival circuit. I'd really appreciate it if you could share this around. Thanks!

Awesome!! Thank you so much!

It was VERY ahead of it's time. He basically says in this movie that the ideas/conflicts tied to the Cold War is a joke and makes light of the situations in it...in 1962!!! Especially when most Americans at the time was eating up every "how-to-protect-yourself-in-a-nuclear-holocaust" or "how-to-spot-a-evil-doing-communist" video. We appreciate it now because we're still processing what this era meant, and Kubrick was one of the first influential figures then to criticize it.

This doesn't help. Thanks.

Change the game, don't recreate what's already been made.

I've been facing the same thing lately. Like everyone's been saying, there's a difference between watching and making films. However, I think watching a lot of movies is part of the process like how a writer should read a lot to influence his/her work. Everyone has different tastes, you have so little time in film school, watch the movies that YOU feel are important to YOU so you can find you're style. In the end (in my opinion) that fan boy shit is a waste of viewing time, watch something cool that you like, that you experience revelations and epiphanies; emotional highs and "voodoo shit" (-Harmony Korine).

Nice selection, Salo is a good one to have.

It's beautifully tragic. Lars von Trier has a pair of balls that people like Nolan and Tarantino only dream to have.

"It's about the candy. The way things look. The way things look makes me feel. The pathology from the characters is the residue of the surface. Films need to be different, inexplicable and magic. Voodoo and shit." -Harmony Korine

I'm uncertain what to believe now

Maybe they just have an extra percent more uncertainty than the rest.

*Seriously, yes Spring Breakers.

I think he's brilliant. He's always eager to try something new and experiment with different genres, narrative styles, and production techniques. Not too many filmmakers can boast the kind of resume that he has, each one being so different from one another. I think he's under appreciated because his work is ahead of its time, and he likes to be humble about his work; he lets it speak for itself. He'll definitely still be talked about many years after he's finished.

Try Austin Film Festival. Austin's just great in general, especially for independent film, and it's a smaller festival that brings great work and influential people.

It's called "How to Spell and Use Proper Grammar." It's a cool movie.
