Anything Goes : Gay Film Productions. by John Simpson

John Simpson

Gay Film Productions.

I'd really like to see a group/section developed for gay film producers and everyone involved with the process in taking the script to the screen. It's like hacking through a swamp to get anywhere when you have gay people as your main characters. Hollywood would collapse without the hundreds of gay men in power there, but you'd never know it as an Indie. I think we need a serious hand up from some good talented people and then pay it forward when we can! Thanks!

Andrew Mondia

This is a suggestion for Richard and his team. great idea!

John Simpson

I agree Andrew, but not sure they'd be willing to take it on. Fear is widespread and is preventing good movies from being made. I was thirty days out from shooting, when our lead quit on us and took his screen trained dog with him. The dog was also essential to the film. When that happened, our investors pulled out and the project collapsed costing a lot of people temporary jobs, and the producer and myself cash.

By the way Andrew, the entire budget for this movie was under $40K.

Andrew Mondia

If you don't ask you don't get get. Besides more and more the world is accepting. Still a long road but just a matter of educating the blinded.

John Simpson

Actually, not quite sure how to follow up and execute your suggestion. Advice?

John Simpson

Okay Andrew, sent RB a message, but he warns there's a good chance he'll never see it. Let's see!

Andrew Mondia

Richard does read messages. Watch your negative attitude cause that will get you nowhere too!

John Simpson

Ahh, Andrew, those are HIS words, not mine!
