Filmmaking / Directing : How Independent Can Filmmaking Be? by Jasun Horsley

How Independent Can Filmmaking Be?

Short answer: from the entertainment industry: 100% (until distribution). I sympathize with industry screen writers striking for better deals, but only up to a point. Hollywood is and always has been a mobster-run human trafficking industry rife with every imaginable form of exploitation and vice (see/hear my book 16 Maps of Hell if you don't know what I am talking about: https://auticulture.com/liminalist/16-maps-of-hell-campaign/). Who the Hell wants to find a secure position in the Mass Media Mafia? Not a good idea! And it's now pretty much a dead shark in the water anyway, & those who cling to the Titanic, go down with it.

Making movies, however, is now something anyone can do - with a personal vision, a little cash, the necessary technology, and, most essentially of all (after the vision-thing), a team of kindred spirits committed to bringing the vision into its most fully realized form. So, in this regard, filmmaking is the opposite of independent, because it underscores the fact that human beings can only achieve personal potential via community-building and soul connecting with other humans.

My desire to make a movie in this sense is secondary to my desire to find, connect to, and work with other souls with whom I share a vision of what is possible, and so deepen our experience of being human as part of human community.

If any of this resonates with you, and if you're looking for a (highly unusual) film project to participate in, contact me!
