Alan, while I understand your point I think it is misplaced. It is my opinion that any development which can have an effect on how we plan to spend our equipment and production dollars has a place in the business forum. The people who have stated that the bottom line is that it’s all storytelling and has nothing to do with technology haven’t spent much time opening their wallet and deciding how much to spend recently. If you knew a distributor would take on your movie while you quarter your camera costs I’m betting you’d be in a better position to make more movies. (P.S….I do a fair amount of direct-to-dvd myself but that’s not where “Crank” was aimed)
And congratulations on helping to get the low-budget actioner done.
You are right that the size of the pile of half-finished projects is
incalculable.
