What are some of your favorite movies?
Every time anyone asks me that question, my mind goes blank. So recently I sat down and really thought about it. I wrote a list and cut together a video of some of my favorite moments from some of my favorite movies. You can watch it here:
One reason I went to the effort of making this video is because I am a filmmaker myself, and I want to find my audience. I think of my audience as people like me, people who love the same kind of movies and will want to watch mine because they feel a connection with the them.
These days it seems like everyone and his brother is making a movie. Everyone wants their movie to be watched, and they know there must be people out there somewhere who would want to watch it, but connecting with those people can be difficult, especially if you don't have a huge advertising budget.
So here's my question for you: are any of my favorite movies your favorite movies, too? Do the same things touch you and me, make us feel something, stay in our minds long after the movie's over?
If the answer is YES, then I want to know you. Obviously, I'm not claiming I'll ever be able to make movies as great as the ones I love, but they are my inspiration and my instructors. And YOU are the kind of people I make my movies for.
So introduce yourself! Follow me on YouTube if you want. Tell me what movies you love, what your favorite moments are, and why. I'd love to hear from you. :)
