Making a horror film happen
Posted 10th March 2013 at 12:56 PM by Backtrackfilm
Busy week ahead. We have a things going on in London and in between I'll be having my first meeting with a distributor, a well known producer and a well known agent. This experience overtakes everything but it suits me. We're all different of course and for some people, the crazy, all or nothing approach comes with too many risks and draconian sacrifices. The Spartan way has always attracted me though. I'm obviously a complete masochist. I like what Bukowski said about being committed to any artistic endeavor.
“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
