But in a shrinking movie industry, DIY microbudget filmmaking may increasingly be left to fill some of the void left by risk-averse, corporate-driven Hollywood.
“I hope people can stop shooting things to make them look like commercials and just get back to more of the nitty gritty and letting your imagination flow,” says Tews, who also co-wrote the movie with Cheslik. “I just hope we stop bowing down to Hollywood and thinking they’re the gold standard. Because they just aren’t.”
I just watched this and holy shit it’s great… Has been half the time saying oh that’s so stupid and laughing at the same time… It’s an amazingly stupid movie.
I’d definitely pay to go see this with people in theaters.
In the words of my 17 yo daughter “that was fucking amazing.” I saw it with a few friends and family at a small theater in Minneapolis with some of the crew talking beforehand.
It’s truly an amazing watch.
