so then . this be what pass as high art for the like of sxsw film festival and sundance and eh . well and i suppose i can relate as long a story and script and dialog and acting ( save for ms. aselton ) and cinematography and edit be completely irrelevant . i remember tell other film make friend some year ago that the big problem with digital video be that we be now go to have to wade through a future sea of crap to get to anything worth watch now that anyone and his brother ( or brother in the case of the duplass ) could run out and make a movie . the puffy chair . need i say more . this feature length video be yet another chapter in the dismal and ever expand world of dudeology movie while young gun arm with a dvx100a and a few thousand dollar and a hastily write and shallow script and and some friend they call actor who decide one afternoon to make a movie and voilà . and instant feature video maker . don not get me wrong i be all about independent cinema ( i. e. hollywierd suck ) . but have say that and you can not argue with some of the reality of that system . if the duplass brother would have have to have go out and raise a real budget and bring on real producer and it clear a script like this would never have be green light . and therein lie the problem . there be no longer such a thing a a vetting process for get film ( sorry . video ) ready for production . just grab a dv or p2 camera and off you go . and what make it bad be that high profile festival like the aforementioned actually embrace and encourage this kind of nonsense . and why . precisely because it no budget . i think it important and especially in todays climate of indie film and to quit allow video maker to high jack the language by label themselves and filmmaker . there be quite a difference in my book . when you have to go out and actually put your script on the line and ask friend and family or business people for real money to make a feature film and know the potentially loss at stake and then you will know what it mean to be a filmmaker . but drop a few hundred at sam club for some dv tape and some soda and chip doesn not cut it . oh . and by the way . i have to mention how utterly annoy it be to listen to a female be address a dude throughout the entire movie . even mark borchardt reserve that intensely overuse moniker for his male friends only where it be at least endear where his buddy mike be concern . i think it high time the indie film community start to call out these shoddy and no budget video for what they be and and simultaneously scold prestigious festival for give such casual effort and high praise . either that or ask these festival to at least have the courtesy to add a new category to their festival line ups . dude film .
