      There are a lot of new independent filmmakers out there who are being overlooked, and it’s about time for us to be seen. I recently wrote and directed a short film a few months back, and it already won an award at its first festival. People like Martin Scorsese and John Cassavetes inspire a lot of people to this day.

      @@halloweenfriday that’s the pie one right? I saw the trailer, looks like it has comedic potential and the mise-en-scene is good. The one big bit of advice from me though, from everything I’ve seen on your channel is that you should try to colour grade you footage. It all looks just a bit bland right now, but it’s a pretty easy, though time consuming fix.

    I’m kinda Partial to his Second Movie, Boxcar Bertha, which was another example of Roger Corman finding a really talented young director and letting them just go to town on a genre picture and prove to the world how talented they are…he was able to get the financing for Mean Streets because of this very underrated 1972 crime movie

    Time and time again I am just floored by how genuinely amazing these video essays are. It is so easy to see just how much work and research has gone into each of these. Each is carefully crafted essay that is focused and superbly well written. They walk a perfect line of bring informative, visually interesting, and being able to construct a narrative out of a particular topic giving any viewer a crash course on that subject. I'm crossing my fingers and praying to the Criterion gods that maybe one of these days one of your visual essays will get featured in one of there releases because they are just that good.

    Speaking of directorial debuts, how about a video on Spielberg's Duel? It's surprisingly under-discussed these days, and everyone seems to act like his career started with Jaws. (Not to mention the completely forgotten Sugarland Express in between.)

    Absolutely fantastic video - and great way to highlight that individual talent alone is rearely enough. Every film is team work. And how important it is for established people with experience to help out younger talent with bith advice and network opportunities. It's also kind of fascinating that this new director making a low budget movie managed to get a raw and unknown talent like Keitel in the lead role. This movie would have easily become a parody with the wrong actor in the part.

    Great video as always!!! ❤ But I’ve been looking for the song that appears at 7:58 for years it’s a theme song for a podcast that I’ve listened to but could never identify it. The link in the description lists long stroll but the link takes you to a page of various royalty free music without that song and when searching the only version of “long stroll” seems to be a slowed down jazz song but not what is featured here. Anyone have any idea?

    It's a shame he's so jealous of Marvel Movies, proly still bitter over being the shiznit until Star Wars came out, got on top with Good Fellas and Casino again then Matrix happened, picked things back up with Gangs of New York and boom Lord of the Rings, finally got that Oscar Nicholson strong armed the academy for him with The Departed and what happens, fucking Iron Man happens. Poor guy, his mobster flicks and book adaptations can never catch a break.
