Sujewa's Movement
2006-Feb-14 by Laughcalvin
Sujewa is starting a group blog of Indie Filmmakers who are distributing their films in o6'. Invaluable for those who have a film in the can and want people to see it.

Rick Schmidt, ultra low budget indie film legend, is going to join the group blog. I expect to see a post by him very soon. Rick wrote the influencial book "Feature Filmmaking At Used Car Prices". And he produced and was a co-director of the Dogme 95 movie "Chetzemoka's Curse".

Dude, we need to start a secret society called Rick's Kids. I discovered indie filmmaking when Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing got some press in the MD suburb that I lived in. I was in my last year of high school then I think. Had not decided what I was going to do w/ my sexy & talented self. Then, after learning about Spike, I looked into indie filmmaking more and discovered Rick's book Feature Filmmaking at the Gaithersburg library. That book made everything, the whole indie filmmaking thing, seem possible & affordable & real to me. And the world was never the same for me after that. Less then six months later I had finished my first short on 16MM & less than a year later I had screened it at the Kennedy Center (a very posh cultural center here in DC). W/ out Rick's book there may not have been an indie filmmaking career for me. Rick is an indie filmmaking legend, up there w/ Jim Jarmusch & Spike Lee & Gus Van Sant (who Kelley Baker did sound for on several flicks btw, Kelley is coming up to play my microcinema this spring) as far as I am concerned. I still read Rick's books while I am working on a movie, for inspiration & technical guidance.
