What Genre is your film?

[Rodney V. Smith]

What genre are you submitting into this time?

[Rodney V. Smith]

"Strange Days of Joey Davis" is going to be stranger than I expected...

[RodThompson]

Lol...I hit submit and saw that I was in the 50th percentile and nearly shit. Then realized that originality lives on and I am only one of two people who voted.

Crime.

[Robert Eldon]

Pickles and Ice Cream is kind of an action comedy thriller with adventure, crime and gangsters, and a bit of romance... honest!

I posted a vote in Comedy.:)

[Rodney V. Smith]

i included the "Other" Category for yeehawnow... looks like he took the bait...

[ramsaur]

Medal of Merit is Drama / Adventure

Doing two entries. 2nd one is in the works of writing. Would be listed in "Other"

[USLatin]

Oops.. voted before reading... my bad. Take one off Thriller.

[stinkpot]

Genera... Hocramex. (horror, crime, drama, experimental).

Maybe.

Or it could be a romantic comedy starring good looking people with nice teeth. Not quite sure yet.

:beer:

He he. I couldn't help myself. If you would've put ODD, or 0.66 aspect ratio I would've chosen them too. :)


Actually, my next one might be really normal. Ask Jason. Sent the pitch today.

[nouou]

psychological mind f**k.

[dsto]

Thriller

[Chris_Keaton]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there will be a lot of comedies. Simply, because it is hard as hell to pull off a serious 'quest' based drama in six minutes. It really lends itself to a 'beer run' or 'white castle break', etc. Not that's a bad thing.

I just hope no cats are harmed in any filming, this time. :Drogar-Love(DBG):

[Rodney V. Smith]

I think we're going to get more action based adventure films this time around with people taking the opportunity to explore what a quest really means other than the obvious Indiana Jones type of movies. If we have more beer-run movies I'm going to be very disappointed since we've getting better entries than youtube type skits.

If you need writing help, I'm available.

[Morox]

Crime/Drama/Thriller.

[fixitinpost]

TFG falls under Action/Heist. Definitely be incorporating some elements of comedy, though.



What's the average wait on hearing back about your pitches? How long you guys wait?

Oh god im cringing a little bit at the number of comedies :P

There is only so many ironic quest comedy films that can be handled gents - please remember (anyone going down that route) that you will not be the only one...

For the Cadillacs and gas money spent

Exactly Puck - i just can't handle the prospect!

Not to sound snobbish but (I am British after all) its just a nightmare prospect. I think some folk just dont spend nearly enough time thinking about their idea before going and rushing out to produce it. I suppose the new pitching process will manage to scrape away the most irrelevent film ideas to the fest theme.

But sure - you see...

At the risk of sounding polititical - i suppose individualism is a strong american characteristic and tradition - so is consumerism (as of late!) This combination can have terrifying consequences when you have these kinds of bourgeious tales of 18 year olds, who live in middle class suburbs... who drive SUV's... and whose sole life is to hope that the girl they text in their newest mobile phone (sorry cell phone) will sleep with them - at their friends college party (the er exciting climax as it were) entendre ending.

That just sucks - I say now to anyone thinking of that idea - that they really should try eating their own faeces for improved inspiration! At the risk of sounding like a grumpy meanie i also think any cheesy action comedies based on the quest angle will ultimately suck as well.

What I hope to watch is some guy who manages to completely awe - inspire me with an epic artistic vision (be it in the development of a character) or a dude leading a CGI army - whatever! I want maturity... Genuine artistic merit.

Not some guy mucking about with his mates BOOoooo!

I'm counting on you Puck! And ZAZA!!!

In a way (and i promise mod ill not say anymore on this) i think Lossfest produced ridiculous top 2 winners...) and this time i think and hope things will be different - that we will see true art make it to the top - and that filmmakers will aspire to produce it.

[Rodney V. Smith]

I guess there goes my idea about Indiana Jones and the Quest for the G-Spot.....

Curses! Back to the drawing board!

[lawriejaffa]

Muhahahhaahhaha yeah you bet :P Maybe give the idea to Filthrich for his 2nd movie? *ahem* Miooow!

[ZazaCast]

...and I just finally located the Marilyn Monroe & JFK bobble-heads...damn!

[Rodney V. Smith]

well I promised to only do one this time around, so maybe this is a good thing...
Zaza, we can never have too many bobbleheads.

[lawriejaffa]

Your idea was actually a complex form of expressionism Zazacast - that made my day.

Having some guy dressed up like a gimp going 'biaaatch' every two secs, pretend ninja fighting his other mates dressed like gimps - while im supposed to laugh at the cheesy disco music and barely resembled quest theme - that - that won't be funny :P

Bobble heads will!

[ZazaCast]

Your idea was actually a complex form of expressionism Zazacast

Yes... yes it was...and thank you! I think you were the only one to truly understand my film.:thumbsup:

[Blaine]

Yes... yes it was...and thank you! I think you were the only one to truly understand my film.:thumbsup:Huh? :huh:

[ZazaCast]

Huh? :huh:

My bad... Blaine was the first to get it (sorry Blaine, I stand corrected).:beer:


...I'm having a special bobble-head created in your likeness!

[Blaine]

...I'm having a special bobble-head created in your likeness!That's just effin scary...:grin::grin:

GOOD LUCK to all who entered this contest

[Rodney V. Smith]

Sci-Fi/Fantasy seems to be gaining ground... what gives?

[Ki-Ki]

Medieval for me.

[Mattykins]

dude leading a CGI army

How about a half CGI army? Does that count.

I do believe I would be classified in action.
