‘The Cursed Object: a short documentary’ @BrisOwnWorld

TVWriter™ has been  running articles lately by Bri Castellini, one of TVWriter™’s favorite Indie TV creators. (Well, that’s what you call people who write, produce, direct, and promote all their own stuff, right? Fucking creators, for sure!)

Right now, we’re happy to say we’ve entered the ‘Found Footage’ racket by, literally, finding this footage by Bri. Sit back, relax, and remember, life is always – always – more interesting, exciting, terrifying, and wonderful than the greatest fiction. And this, friends and visitors, is the life of Bri:

Web Series: ‘Ask Will’

William Shakespeare his very self writing a romance advice column? If that isn’t a high concept – for writer-viewers anyway – nothing is.

Can we say that this is “cute” without that sounding negative? Because Ask Will really is cute:

@BrisOwnWorld – ‘I’m in my head’

by Bri Castellini

I talk a big game about being an indie filmmaker, but the truth is, at this moment in time and space, I’m struggling with it. There are two reasons for this: Trump and knowing what the hell I’m doing. Let’s, as they say, explore!

REASON #1 I AM HAVING DIFFICULTIES STARTING NEW INDEPENDENT FILM PROJECTS: DONALD TRUMP

One of my favorite descriptions of the person (source?) currently in charge of this country is “screaming carrot demon.” Thank you, Samantha Bee. The country is in chaos. We thought it was bad that he was a nominee for the presidency, and now we’re really seeing what this baby-fisted garbage cheeto is willing to do with his newfound power, people are understandably afraid and enraged and compelled to action. In particular, artists and comedians.

This administration is crippling my creativity and my confidence in my work, but not for the reasons you’d think. read article

Indie Video: ‘Alike’

8 minutes with enough emotion for a lifetime. This is why we need indie arts of all kinds:

No dialog, but remember, young noobies of all ages – This was written.

SYNOPSIS:
In a busy life, Copi is a father who tries to teach the right way to his son, Paste. But… what is the correct path?

En una vida ajetreada, Copi es un padre que intenta enseñar el camino correcto a su hijo Paste. Pero… ¿Qué es lo correcto? read article

Indie Video: ‘Pitching Picard’

Oh those crazy, zany pitch sessions. Right?

You be the judge.

NOTE FROM LB: FTR: Gene was a master at pitching. And he knew exactly how to handle executives he thought were idiots. (Fans, too, but we probably shouldn’t go there.)
