I Failed As A Filmmaker

I failed as a filmmaker, and here's why. A cautionary tale for future filmmakers.

So I failed big time, but before we can get into that, we first need to back up. You see, recently one of my short films was reviewed by film threat and it was well less than glowing. So I figured it'd be a good time to take a moment and reflect on this project. I spent a year and a half on, maybe even more. And before we go too far down the road, I did ask films threat to review it. So I did want to thank them for spending the time to review, even if it went from critical to kind of mean there at the end. I mean, isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but gets a one out of 10? Well, okay then.

But that all being said, Enrique Acosta makes a lot of good points. Points I knew during the project. Points I haven't talked about publicly because they cost me a friendship. But I feel they are totally valid and worth talking about, so I figured why not 2020 is already a dumpster fire. If talking about them can help future filmmakers not make the same mistakes, then I want to help. So let's get into it, grab some popcorn, and gather around for story time.
