The video in the last post is so good; though, it might only make sense to you if you've seen The Summerstick, a near full-length documentary they showed last year at the EL film contests in wells.

Even though the soundtrack is stolen and the movie was made by kids my age, this little film (The Summerstick too) is better than anything Jeff and Ivan have made at MSU. My tips for them:

1) You can waste your time making bad movies, but don't dupe your interns into working night and day for you on a piece of shit. I realize that any experience is valuable, but it's just depressing when the finished product is The Final Curtain...If it's going to be bad, make it ironically bad. Like SAM raimy's The Evil Dead.

2) I realize that Jeff and Ivan are, you know, veterans in the industry and everything, but they need to realize that you can't make a movie if there's nothing in a script but a chupacabra plot(?)line--with no sense of humor. (Who writes a horror script about the legendary goat-sucking creature without making a few self-reflexive jokes about the ridiculousness of it?)

3) They can't rely on shirtless MSU film professeurs to provide all the chills.

4) Finally, they should rely on their interns' slave-labor for more than just menial tasks like mic'ing and heavy lifting. Some talented kid is going to win the Creative Writing Awards in scriptwriting this year and it will be better than anything Jeffy B. and Ivan R. have put together without the help of their brothers. What about using a good script?
