:05:03
Explain what you're doing today, Mark.
:05:06
Today I'll be handing out flyers
saying "Independent Feature Film."
:05:11
I has the dates, it has the number
for casting and the crew.
:05:15
And we're going to get that out
to all of the suburban libraries...
:05:18
because a lot of people go there,
and they'll see that.
:05:22
Cool. Right there.
:05:26
I'll move this sucker right there.
:05:28
I think that he first started...
:05:31
he was 14, but he said he was 12.
:05:36
It was quite possible because--
:05:39
he was always talking filming...
:05:41
and that he was going to make movies,
and so, always.
:05:46
His bedroom wall
used to be plastered...
:05:51
with movie ads.
:05:53
Mostly movie horror ads,
but movie ads of all kinds.
:05:56
He got an eight-millimeter camera...
:06:00
from a guy down the street...
:06:03
and the focus was terrible,
but instant filmmaker.
:06:06
I'll tell you why films
fail or succeed.
:06:10
I'm going to tell you
about this one, Northwestern.
:06:13
A regular feature film shot
on black-and-white negative.
:06:16
It's gonna look beautiful.
:06:22
There's your secondary lead right there.
What do you think about that?
:06:26
- You have funding? Everything covered?
- Yeah.
:06:29
You're gonna be in a drive-in
with an umbrella of gray over you.
:06:34
You'll be in a junkyard with thousands
of rusted memories laying there.
:06:39
You'll be among the company
of filmmakers this time...
:06:43
but you'll have something under your
belt besides what you throw in the wash.
:06:48
He's like, "Ken, I'm making a movie.
:06:51
Will you star in it?"
I said, "Of course, I will."
:06:55
So we went to Valhalla Cemetery...
:06:57
and shot our first super-8 film.
