Given the wealth of experience and diversity of skills/occupations etc by people who post here,
the thoughts often crossed my mind as to why there cant be a film made by pooling those people,s talents.
There are several producers, camera ops, actors etc who frequent this forum, who could collaberate to
produce potentially, a really good movie In a way I suppose, that a BGAFD event is arranged, I,m not quite
sure how this would evolve, but say 2/3 producers chosen from a list, voted for by forumites, and girls/guys
who would be willing to partake, also a "storyline" written by someone with a furtile imagination.
(lets me out), I know youre all thinking "that Lizard" whats he on!, but it would be a great laugh with everyone
involved, and truly a British film.
Providing it was talked through properly, enough funds could be raised for at least a half decent stab at it.
and as long as enough people offered to buy it and stuck by thier pledge, the outlay could be re-couped
Whatsay! or should I just fuck off?

It's not a bad idea, you're quite right about the skills of a lot of forumites but I'm a cynical old cuss. So if people offer to participate get their cash upfront!
Or someone could end up like the man breeding a litter of puppies! All his mates want one until the day they arrive, then suddenly all the mates vanish like a summer morning mist!

Well, for what it's worth I've got a few scripts 'in development' as they say.

Liz,
You are quite correct and logical. It makes sense. HOWEVER:
This forum is a tiny fraction of the market. Advertsing a product-as we all kmnow - is Big Bucks. for this reason alone - apart from anytyhing else, your proposal would fall on deaf ears.

For 'The Herbs' or 'London's Burning'? We need to know.........
And could we work in bakery products somewhere? Or custard?
Seriously though: I'd guess for a large-ish 'collective' the logistics would be insurmountable (not to mention the unwieldiness/indecisiveness of such a 'committee'......might work with say, 3 or 4 collaborators, though.

I think I saw it more as "Friends" collaberating Marcus, and I know were a small community, but you sell 200 copies ?30 a time!
?6k pays for?? were not talking big budget,just people from here
producing a gonzo type film, with people we do or dont recognize.
Everthing is possible where there,s a will, but there has to be
just that.
Only a suggestion anyway to provoke some constructive comments,
I was never thinking "gonzo with the wind" type production.

I,ll go back to me cave......

With respect to Producers, currently active:
200 sales @ ?30 for a single title would be a dream come true

I think it's an excellent idea! Keep me posted and I'll see what I can do to help out.

Exactly, thats my point, some producers on here constantly bemoaning the fact that they cant shift product! I saw this not as some big commercial venture,just a bit of fun amongst a few people we recognise from this forum with a g,nteed return just on the production costs.

My ideas, in this case, are most definately xxxx jj. No I mean xxx.
