sorry to hear

sorry to hear

Hey Marc.
I honestly feel a little star struck, since Dark Days hs been one of my favorites for a long time. I'm just coming off of three years with a doc that has been really hard as well, but I'm sorry to hear about what you're dealing with. I guess it's kind of the nature of the beast and keeps us humble. I'm interested in the gear as well could you send me a PM with the list or something? Thanks. Good luck moving forward, I think you'll figure out where to go soon, I've been there and it hurts, but you'll bounce back harder on the next one.
 
I don't actually manage to explain my sympathies for you. I don't even understand how it must feel to be working on something for two years then suddenly this all happens. Hopefully none others here on this forum will have to go through what you have. I have two things to say:

1. As I've stated before, "Dark Days" was actually shown at my film school during a documentary course. I hope you can find some consolation in that your films are reaching beyond borders and are used as examples of tasteful and original works (And they could've chosen any other of the thousands of good documentaries out there, but they chose yours)

2. Winston Churchill: "Never, never, never, NEVER give up!"

That's it for today. Good luck! :)
 
Marc don't sell the gear. Keep going and let the story become the story. It seems to me that you wanted to make a specific documentary. Maybe you should broaden your focus, and make the subject the be the slow navigation of the beauracracy and how it harms progress rather than encourage it. You probably had plans of film about recon soldiers crawling around at night in enemy territory but in reality footage of you in boardroom meeting after meeting trying to get your film made is the real story.
 
you will be a better man after that. and will have many more ways to tell the same story. and we are story tellers, aren´t we?
come out of this well.

DITTO... Kind of like that doc, Sherman's March that sets out one way and ends up being something much more and much more entertaining. Sometimes its a crooked path to get to where we go..


Best of luck and thanks for thinking of us here at DVXuser...
