Quit thinking your kitchen-sink drama is the next Oscar winner and make a film that changes the way we look at films. Listen to your peers and learn from the greats whenever you have the chance. Above all, watch the movies of yesteryear and glean from them. Quit talking about your film and make it. Find the money and produce it any way you can. So what if it’s financed by donors or by investors, we still have an obligation to make good films.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/news/2012/08/independent-filmmaking-passion-or-profession/">Terry Green</a></em>http://sambarrett-director.tumblr.com/post/29304291761http://sambarrett-director.tumblr.com/post/29304291761Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:31:55 -0400filmmakingfilmsinie filmTerry GreenJohn SyalesInspirationalmotivationalcinema<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m827pzJSgU1rx7pvho1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Sororal teaser poster 2 of 4.  This one is called “Hector”.</p>http://sambarrett-director.tumblr.com/post/28464508726http://sambarrett-director.tumblr.com/post/28464508726Wed, 01 Aug 2012 00:41:59 -0400Sororalhorror filmteaserposterfilmmoviedario argentopop artgiallo<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7tldws5tZ1qzbykto1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>On my last viewing of the film, I was struck by the unwavering intensity of the performances.  The determination and commitment of the young cast is what makes the Wolverines seem utterly convincing.  I feel their loss and am saddened as they fall.  It is an odd sensation, feeling a sense of patriotism for a country I’ve only been to once.  My love for American cinema has instilled me with a kind of phantom patriotism, a vicarious love of all things red, white and blue.</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://moviesinframes.tumblr.com/post/28418076014/red-dawn-1984-dir-john-milius-by-sam-barrett">moviesinframes</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Red Dawn</em>, 1984 (dir.
