Comments for Lloyd Kaufman http://www.lloydkaufman.com President & Co-Founder, Troma Entertainment | American film Director, Producer, and Documentarian Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:08:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 Comment on Make Your Own Damn Movie! Secrets of a Renegade Director by Portfolio » NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES: INTERVIEW WITH RETARDEAD DIRECTORS RICK POPKO AND DAN WEST http://www.lloydkaufman.com/books/myodm/#comment-129032 Portfolio » NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES: INTERVIEW WITH RETARDEAD DIRECTORS RICK POPKO AND DAN WEST Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:08:27 +0000 http://lloydkaufman.com/wordpress/books/myodm/#comment-129032 [...] DW: Not at first. Like anyone young and inexperienced we wanted to try to work within the studio system and really tried to get a foot in the door for a while, primarily as screenwriters. We did end up writing an un-produced screenplay for Francis Coppola’s Commercial Pictures way back in the late eighties. He had a sort of Roger Corman-type production company going for a while to produce a few low-budget genre films. That, to this day, is the only time that we have been paid any money as screenwriters. But after a lot of disappointment we got wise and just began to wonder why we were doing all of that work for nothing. It was just frustration after frustration. Finally we wised up. Now I watch these documentaries of screenwriters whining about how difficult it is to work in the studio system, and I just have to laugh and wonder why, if they love film so much and have such great tales to tell, why don’t they just put together something low-budget and independent that they could have control over? It’s a pain in the ass for sure, but if you love it, then what’s the problem? Get off your ass and make something yourself instead of bitching about the goddamn studio system. In this day and age, with the technology available to anyone, you really have no excuse than to, as Lloyd Kaufman puts it, “Make your own damn movie”. [...] [...] DW: Not at first.
