INDEPENDENT FILMMAKING “I believe, — please note, I am only supposing — that what I care about the most is the freedom of man, the liberation of the individual man from the network of moral and social convention in which he believes, or rather in which he thinks he believes, and which encloses him and limits him and makes him seem narrower, smaller, sometimes even worse than he really is. If you really want me to turn teacher, then condense it with these words: be what you are, that is, discover yourself, in order to love life. To me, life is beautiful, for all its tragedy and suffering, I like it, I am moved by it. And I do my best to share this way of feeling with others.” Fellini on Fellini, by Federico Fellini. Here are some of my favorite places on the internet to find information about Independent Filmmaking:
“This is a simple story but not an easy one to tell. Like a fable, there is sorrow, and like a fable, it is full of wonder and happiness.” — Opening line of the motion picture, Life is Beautiful, screenplay by Roberto Benigni e Vincenzo Cerami. Thinking about shooting your next film in Florida? Come to Miami Beach! Miami Beach Announces New Expanded Production Incentives “And when he had finished his supper of hazelnuts and crabapples, the silver-tailed squirrel winked at the dozing pack rat, before he rubbed his chin sixteen times, placed his tenor sax' on a worn tree stump, and then said, ‘Oh, mah golden-hair babe, if you've buried your dreams, dat's okay. Just forgive yourself, then get out there in the backyard of your ever-loving consciousness, and start digging! When you find them, don't be discouraged; years of neglect will tarnish the best. Take out yo' hanky, no matter how tear-stained, and polish dem dreams till they shine, shine bright enough, to light your journey home.’” — M. L. Woods, Diaries of An Angel, Who Misplaced Her Wings, 2001.
