Musah Alhassan Toure I am the creative director of the largest movie company in Ghana called "Venus Films Production" we have a project we want to discuss with you. we want to discuss a project about the first president of ghana and want to discuss with you. please let hear from you. thanks. ------------------------------------- MP: Discuss away. You can pitch your project at pirromount@hotmail.com. 27 June 2009 - Accra, Ghana. West Africa Stacey Thanks for the reply :-) I PA a lot for producers so I see what you mean, but it appears that the industry doesn't take you seriously if you're not a member of a union, like you're an amateur despite your extensive work. Do you ever come across such mentalities? If so, how do you prevent it from affecting you professionally? --------------------------------------- MP: The moment your movie earns someone money, you are taken plenty seriously. George Lucas, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez don't carry DGA cards, and I'd say they're doing fairly well. 22 June 2009 - Los Angeles Stacey Hi Mark :-) Just curious: are you a member of the WGA, DGA, and/or AMPTP? Why or why not? -------------------------------------- MP: I'm not affiliated with any union. I work with no restrictions and I find unions (and their fees, rules and restrictions) very binding. 19 June 2009 - Los Angeles mike my friends and I just built a website, and we would like to link up with yours. I am technologically impaired, and even if you agree, I would probably have to figure it out, but would you mind if we linked up with your site? -------------------------------------- MP: Be my guest. 18 June 2009 - pleasanton, ca. john I AM A STUDENT FILMMAKER AND I PLANING ON SHOOTING A FEATURE FILM BEFORE I GRAUATE WHAT IS THE BEST GENRE TO START WITH? ---------------------------------------- MP: Start with refining your grammar, punctuation and spelling. Once you've gotten that mastered, it doesn't matter what genre you start with. Make the movie you're passionate about making. You like comedies, make a comedy. You like horror, make a horror film. You like action, make an action flick. What you shouldn't make is a film that you have no interest in just because you think that's what you're supposed to do. 17 June 2009 nicole was wondering what i include in my letter to sag in order to go fi-core and do i turn in my card with the letter? -------------------------------------- MP: You don't have to include anything with the letter. You can send in your card if you like, but why make it easier on them? Let them ask you for it. 9 June 2009 - los angeles Nichole C oops sorry I did not realize that you had already done a theatrical version. Is there a way to get a script and rights to do it? ----------------------------------- MP: Anything's possible. Why not contact me at pirromount@hotmail.com and we'll see what can be done for you. 7 June 2009 - Indiana Nichole C I love Nudist Colony of the Dead, I recently found it and fell in love with it. I am a recent graduate with a theatre degree and was wondering if you would mind if I gave a crack at writing a theatrical version? I totally understand if you say no. Thanks for your time :) ------------------------------------ MP: We did a theatrical version in 1995. 7 June 2009 - Indiana Geoff T I read on someone's blog that if I order a movie from you, and put Add DRGS on the order, you will send a copy of Deathrow Gameshow. Is this still available? ---------------------------------------- MP: Yes, legally we're not authorized to sell it, but we can give it away if you order any of our other titles through our website. 26 May 2009 - Iowa Ben How wide spread will the god complex be? Will I be able to see it in theatres? Online? --------------------------------------- MP: One never really knows how wide a film will go once it's completed. Anything is possible. I just make the movies and then throw them out there. Where they wind up depends on Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Muhammad and the Tooth Fairy (all personal friends of mine). 20 May 2009 - Oklahoma 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 28 >>>
