This year we were called to write and direct the second film 100% LUCHA. The funny thing was that we called for the son of one of the owners of the production was studied by SHAM Paulo Soria. But the truth is that what we were doing the last 10 years had no idea. the past 10 years we have worked hard to achieve a professional look on a budget "realistic." Dismissing advertising (financed by large companies) and the national film industry (funded by the Inca) of much of the rest of the production television and video is made with kids costs.
We come from the Hollywood film school, we want to achieve that image, it did not have big budgets, we developed many methods and finally we did it themselves. The examples are everywhere, looking Farce Productions on YouTube and seeing what we did the last few years is quite clear.
At the same time we care to achieve a pleasant climate in the shootings, and we learned to make movies very much guys, for fun. SHAM's motto is "fun, more responsibility," so people who work with us in most cases is a nice experience.
Anyway ... We look at the project 100% LUCHA: THE MASTER OF THE CLONES trying to apply these methods to achieve a high quality film at low cost. Producers raised us from the beginning they wanted to spend little money, and that while they had a grant INCAA, were financing the project out of pocket until I could go charging different fees. Therefore we demand from the start working with the team FARCE stable production that we were developing this method for years.
Unfortunately this condition has never been respected and had to work with a team's usual film "Industrial" national. And there the trouble started. We had a producer on the one hand trying to make a film with as little as possible and the other a team accustomed to big budgets. Farce Productions was between half and without losing the conviction to make a quality film either way.
started shooting and soon appeared friction and blame on one side and another team. Mostly the result of the ambition that we had added to the lack of resources to working a team accustomed to high budgets.
The film was completed and the result was "acceptable." Unfortunately we do not quality for 10 years that we're making, but we learned many things from experience. And I'd like to share, because if any known in the beginning we would have saved months of bad blood.
- producers have in his mind one thing: that the film is finished. That is their goal. Because when you have finished movie the subsidy paid from the Institute. That premium on quality, the film and that's why there are so many domestic films very badly.
- industry professionals national will to defend their way of work and status quo at all costs. So you are doing things otherwise and perhaps find a way to save and make your movie any other way to set ... SOS THE ENEMY. And this is not an exaggeration, industrial equipment, whether he was angry as we finished on schedule if we had spent and overtime. There was no way to support us, because we, the new generation, we are the enemy and put at risk the status quo. But times have changed, technology changed and the methods are changing.
- Even if you have to phone, or the sea ENDEMOL drive on your side, chances are that your film does not last more than 15 days in theaters. The owners of multiplexes also own the major Hollywood companies to understand and defend their own movies on our own. 100% LUCHA: THE MASTER OF THE CLONES, with telephone and ENDEMOL ago spent a week in all rooms and all times ... the following week and had been taken from all sides ...
That's all folks, I remain many things to share, I think it's good that the experiences are known, because the goal of all is the same: that the public want to return to our cinema.
