WHAT IS A FILM FREAK?

FILM FREAKS are a very special breed of people. I know; I am one.

Film Freaks come in many colors, sizes, shapes, taste preferences, and degrees of natural as well as practiced talent. Some are profoundly talented and immensely humble, like myself. Others are Sortta-Cans, who with a little mentoring, time and practice can indeed hone their craft and make it in the business. Still others are sad, pathetic, lonely losers who maybe do, maybe don’t know they have no valuable talent or a shot at ever breaking into the Film Industry in any other roll than maybe as a Best Boy, Grip or Craft Services Server. Too often such emotionally crippled individuals of this ilk gravitate towards the Arts, writing and such. Not because they are natural artists, what I like to call “Creatives,” but because they believe that calling themselves a “Writer,” or “Artist,” even a “Director,” will win them some form of approval that is sorely missing in their sad, empty, wanting lives.

NOTE: If I’m describing you here, please don’t despair, and please never consider harming yourself as a solution. I would like to see everyone enjoy a rich full life. If you write, for example, and people who know great writing think you don’t have it, stop kidding yourself and apply your time and energy towards finding something to do that you are good at, that you find fulfilling and financially rewarding. Trying to be creative when you just don’t have it is an insane venture. Move on.

I’ve worked at helping hurting, needful people for over two decades. Nearly 100% of the time such as these find peace and fulfillment in doing a hard days work along side of people who enjoy their company. Truthfully, one of the worst things a lonely soul should do is sit alone for endless hours writing bad fiction.



REAL FILM FREAKS HAVE REAL TALENT

There are as many kinds of Film Freaks in the world as there are types of people and personalities. Me; I have more personality than I can use in a single day. Then, there are people who are not only right now in the business who have no personality to speak of, but they’re very successful at what they do. So, having a great personality may make you popular at parties and shit, but it isn’t a requirement for being a serious Film Freak.

That said; a Film Freak is anyone who lives to make Movies, Short or Feature Length, no matter the Genre. And this, at all cost.

If you are a Film Freak, this is your Asylum. Hang out. One day soon, my Movies will be playing in a Theater near you. And you can brag to all your buds and lady friends that you knew that Film Freak back in the day.
