It Crushed Me Learning How The Movie Business ACTUALLY Works - Kevin Interdonato

[@youngescapist9920]

Went and watched like a few of his other interviews. This by far is his most interesting. Thank you.

[@trinigoodfellas]

this guy is real, all from his heart, not holding back

[@kokomanation]

People think that producers and the movie industry cares about high quality filmmaking but the core thing they care is how much profit they will have.He speaks the truth when he says how important the business part is.Unfortunately this is how the entertainment industry operates.

[@familycorvette]

I am now going to go watch his movie. Thanks for this.

[@mikesmithz]

@@familycorvette same! His unfiltered sincerity won me over.

[@AmeAnimation]

Great interview! Looking forward to the next parts. Have you ever considered multiple guests, podcast style? I wonder how a conversation between him and Rhomeyn Johnson would go, with you as the host.

[@filmcourage]

Thank you! We have some more great segments with Kevin on the way! And we have thought about multiple guests and have had some things fall through. Never know when you may see it here!

Said nothin

[@NewTheoryMagazine]

Nice work Fratello!

[@londonwerewolves]

He should write a script called, "Word Salad".

[@bobbyologun1517]

you dont speak new jersey thats all

[@wexwuthor1776]

This dude sounds like he could use a little yoga in the park.

[@VirideSoryuLangley]

You just don't get it.

[@wexwuthor1776]

@VirideSoryuLangley Finding ways to calm down and be more peaceful will make the rest of you endeavors go more smoothly.

[@VirideSoryuLangley]

@@wexwuthor1776 No, it won't. You don't understand men and have no business telling them what to do.

[@wexwuthor1776]

​@VirideSoryuLangley The "man" is talking about restless energy, lack of fulfillment, obsession, and lack of sleep from the jump. Yoga has been used for at least the last 5000 years to address these issues and more. It's not about what I know or tell someone to do. It's got a proven track record. Athletes do yoga. Fighters do yoga.

[@VirideSoryuLangley]

@@wexwuthor1776Yeah, it's got a proven track record for making yoga instructors rich, and turning people into clueless zealots. But it's not a solution to real life problems, and that's what men want, something that actually fixes the problem.

[@mikesmithz]

This guy is awesome!

[@filmcourage]

Cheers Mike! We're still just getting started with this one. More to come!

[@mikesmithz]

@filmcourage I can't wait to watch more from him. His unfiltered sincerity completely won me over. It's rare to find someone as open as this person, so thanks for uploading the vid.

[@filmcourage]

We are scratching the surface in terms of our interview. But if you want to hear just how intense Kevin's story is... you can check it out on Soft White Underbelly. (Warning as he does share his experience with war.)

[@bobbyologun1517]

andrew niccol talked about the difficulties in making movies distributors want to buy.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

I fell in love with Andrew Niccol's work since "The Truman Show" and "Gattaca." It would be harder to make those movies now, as studio primary interest in pre-existing IPs have pushed the mid-budget dramas into the "extremely endangered" category. Original screenplays with no preconception is now considered a gamble not worth risking. Nichol's rarely made a film inside of the Hollywood studio scene - relying on independent production companies. It would serve Hollywood and the paying audience far greater for studios to invest in $20 million in 10 original screenplays from a gifted writer such as Nicholl, rather than betting big on a single rehash of a pre-existing blockbuster at a cost of $200 million.

Never said what "it" is....

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

The reality versus "what people envision" is literally night and day. If you lack coin, connections, crews, clout, computer code, control, corporate communities, and opulent opportunities... then you ain't SHEET. :D That's just how it is. Quality of work, legitimate knowledge, and true experience aren't all that relevant. Marketing and "image" are everything. Without it, you're guaranteed to fail. GUARANTEED. No exceptions.

[@jessemathes5126]

Always lacking I am. It seems nothing's ever good enough to get what you want.

[@jefferywatson4176]

50 cent

[@mahonrimartins1767]

Idealistic mindset will get you crushed anywhere. He has everything and still not valuing it.

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Altho he has energy, he generalizes too much and lacks focus on what he wants to really do, & continues going around in circles !! Many in Hollywood do this, but I hope he finds his way.

[@JERSEYBOYPLAY2HARD]

what do you mean?

[@aps-pictures9335]

Well he wasn’t going to make it as an A list actor - so fair enough changing paths to one that paid

[@susanwoodcarver]

@@Novastar.SaberCombat You are absolutely, 100% correct. Could not have said it better.

[@familycorvette]

First!

[@reneperez3043]

these people are so desperate for fame. Pathetic.
