[hivemind] Jeez, you guys've been moving a bit slow, lately...

[Ashwyn]

Have you seen Dogville, btw?

I don't believe so. What is it about?

 

[AGGEMAM]

I don't believe so. What is it about?

The exploitation bordering to slavery of a young girl (played by Nicole Kidman) set in a small southern town during the Despession. Instructed by Lars von Trier. And no (zero) sets where used, incredible that it actually works.

Mornin' Aggeman. There are defintely some good points. I'm not on call. That is very nice.

What kind of stories do you want to tell, Ashwyn?

I want to tell stories that will inspire people to do good, that show the absolute best of humanity. I want to tell stories that make people think, be it about real things or make-believe. I want to convey the understanding of life that I have gotten based on my experiences to an audience, and in doing so, help them to reach contentment in their lives. Also, I want to make people laugh.

That sounds really interesting. I will have to try to find it.

You know Barsoomcore makes indie films, maybe he would have some pointers about financing and filming for you. Not sayining that you should only do indie films, but that route does seem to suit your idealism. Much as I love ameircan ciema, Hollywood is not exactly about the good things in life, ya know?

I was thinking that way. I am going to have to make indie films to start out with, no matter what happens. I have a basic idea of what I want my first movie to be about, and it wouldn't need a big budget.

Which is excately why I suggested for him to see Dogville. Which is an extremely low budget movie (10 million $) considering that it stars Nicole Kidman, Stellan Skargaard, Lauren Bacall, etc.

From what I understand, its almost always more expensive than you think it is!

If you ever feel like running a draft by some one, feel free to email me.

Getting very sleepy. I'm afraid I will have to get going soon.

Aggeman, was Dogville released where you are already? I saw that it showed at Cannes, did you go there?

I want to go to Cannes.

It most likely will be.
