"Yinz" Is the informal replacement for "Y'all" and "You" in southwest PA, Pittsburgh and the surrounding area...Just adding clarification for people who don't know. Dumb I agree and weirdly specific I know, but just think how I feel living here my entire life and still just says you.

More like "Yinz" is the way off addressing a group of people. It's not like "Y'all" or "You guys" are very formal.

[@4rtie]

Leon Paul I feel like "You ones" but slurred horribly is far more informal than an actual contraction.

It took me almost 6 years ti finish the furst draft if my book and i am just now working in the fjnal draft.

You might stop working for a bit but you get it done.

[@thejfreak93]

Passion man. If it's something you have to do, you gotta do it no matter the cost.

[@ilovekingkong]

At some point as an artist you realize passion isn’t all you need. If you go into a big project fueled with only passion but no strict dedication and ability to work through art blocks, your projects will never end up finished

[@jwheeler1106]

Always love hearing about DIY filmmakers and knowing that this film took 10 years to make gives me inspiration as an animator to take as much time as I need on something if it means making the final product the best it can be.

[@PsychOsmosis]

Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed they didn't elaborate more on that. The guy purposefully rams them with a forklift and then calls the police?! I sure hope he's the one who got arrested! I know the United States have very weird laws about trespassers (we hear stories about people shooting trespassers over there), but surely purposefully trying to harm a few out of town people who got lost and accidentally "trespassed" ("took a wrong turn" would be more appropriate in this case) on your property is illegal!

Loving this video so far! However, maybe in the future you could give us little pop up text describing industry specific terms? I don't know what he's talking about when he talks about the "master."

[@EvanKiddFilms]

This is great man. I made my first narrative feature film right after film school at age 22 and it was such a learning experience. Short are great, but as he said features are where you really learn in my opinion. I think how shorts used to be calling cards for filmmakers ten years ago, now that features are easier to produce (for anyone) they are now feasible calling cards as well.

[@austinmcconnell]

Agreed. Shorts are great, but feature films offer a whole different level of experience.

[@yourfathersfather8751]

Holy shit it's based in the small town like 15 minutes from where I grew up The basis for the movie fits so well with the town lmao

[@Dejun17]

I know this might be a bit late, but have you looked into Lloyd Kaufman's "Make your own damn movie" book and dvd series? It goes over everything you probably don't think about when making a movie, and it's coming from one of America's great guerilla style director and producer.

[@johnmurphyfilm]

Having a feature in development like this is actually really common. Most films with an original IP take approximately 10 years to make, often longer. Producers pick up dozens of films to develop and work on all of them at the same time, hoping to get one into production. It's a miracle whenever a film starts shooting

Hey A-Mac, so you're working on a movie, but you weren't entirely proud of the last passion project you worked on. For this next one, find a way to elevate yourself above criticism pre-emptively, go full Gance, make a weird avant-garde impressionist beast of a production. Make it too weird and personal for the average person to get, but just lay back on the "It's ART" justification. If you're lucky, you could get a standing ovation at Cannes. ...good luck man. There are so many ways to approach the medium of cinema, so many possible angles and genres and styles to explore and experiment with (or choose not to) that the thought of being in charge of something like that terrifies me. Mad respect, put your voice out there, learn from past experiences good and bad. You're a cool dude, make a cool movie.
