1. I do have a script, 1/2 of the first act is finished but a smaller fraction of the second act is written and being thought out. Maybe because I'm doing crowdfunding efforts now is because the script and the movie is so big it could end up being the first ever found footage movie to be 3 & 1/2 hours long. It may be the first found footage screen epic with an Intermission in the center just like they would back in the old days or the second half may become Unknown Creature 3. I'm still trying to decide. I do have locations in mind, the first is my house where the first one was shot, plus nearby woods, plus some wooded areas in both North and South Carolina to make it look vast. I'm even thinking about finding a Cherokee elder who would be willing to appear on camera because the history of the Cherokee plays a part in this.

Allright I'll bite. Why does it need to be filmed in woods in different states to "appear vast". They are both nearly identical climates and thus would look the same. The same effect could be achieved by filming 300 yards to the left.

I hear Chris has a little Cherokee in him....

Two halves of two acts is not a script. You also have no idea how long the movie will be until you finish the script. Moviemaking 101 says that one script page = 1 minute of run time. If, for some absurd reason, you really feel the need to make a 3 1/2-hour movie, then you need to be starting from a 210-page draft. You're way, way off from that. If you don't even know what you want to have in the movie and what you don't, you're absolutely getting ahead of yourself. The time to go for funding is when you have a coherent project, and if you want to do funding right, do as much work as possible before you start.

If you've got locations, great. Then you can focus on the script. Literally anything you do besides that is just a distraction.

No one wants to give you any money.

Stop wasting your time trying to raise money. Use the gear you already have and just film something. You don't need 4K resolution for a no-budget film.

But how will anyone take his found footage films seriously?

I'm sure you'll ignore this but as a horror fan I can honestly say nobody wants a 3 and a half hour found footage movie. Seriously. Just throw that idea out the window. There are plenty of reasons why this will not work. Instead focus on finishing your script at all. Cut it into multiple movies if you need to but just finish that. That is the most important part to any movie.

To be fair the first film seemed like it barely had a script except maybe the interviews part he just needs to have some script and he needs to just try to start filming. That shit is way too long though, like even an hour would probably be ok

As a horror movie it should be somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half. If you have an amazing story (Se7en, Silence of the Lambs) you can go for two hours. But some random found footage? Hour and a half is best.

3 and a half is ridiculous.

@Joe_Cracker can I hope, since you didn't announce anything last Friday, that you've actually taken our advice and decided to work on your movie, rather than dick around with e-begging?

If so, Lucifer and I are gonna have a snowball fight manana.

He's probably just late as usual. He's never listened to us before, so why start now?

But I have faith in you Joe! I'm sure you'll raise a whole $10 this time around.

Joe will be making Bernie Sanders campaign films. Expected to be ready to air by 2037.

A movie about Bernie Sanders is not in my plans right now, but what is my plan is 3 other movies, one of them Unknown Creature 2 and now first act of the script is finished and I will say this. I measured each line of dialogue in the first movie to see how long this first act is and I was right when I said this would be the first ever found footage screen epic or be split in two. Act two is only a few pages right now it may end up being just as long if not longer then act one.

I'm also considering plans of putting the first movie in theaters, or at least one.

You should be more concerned with writing any of your movies than with, well, any of that.

Joe, you don't work or do anything. How are you not done?

Seriously dude nobody wants a found footage movie over an hour and a half. Paranormal Activity has a hard enough time getting an hour 30.
 
Joe,

Since brokeback mountain the acceptance of yaoi/gay pornography consumption by female millennials has become astonishingly strong.... representing one of the largest chunks on disposable income as well as having considerable control over general family finance compared to any other generation.

Will we get a gay sex scene? Per dollar spent on such scenes the ROI is no highest for any sort of steamy scene including girl/girl/girl which was the former golden goose of all media (See wild things, practically floated by the girl/girl scenes and kevin bacon's name... despite it's completely flimsy plot it was able to generate 7 sequels because the cost of producing such movies is almost nothing)

I was thinking like a gay wild things but with a horror setting. Formula for $$$$$!

It's pretty funny you bring up Brokeback Mountain because one of the characters in Unknown Creature 2 is gay, and from another country where being so right now is not widely accepted there.
