Q: Hi, Daniel, how's the filming?
R: Hello, thank you very much for making me this interview Bloguionistas . I still much your site and for me is an honor to interview her. Filming is going well, a discontinuous rate as expected.
Q: Is it true that you are financing all with your own money?
A: Yes, indeed. I'm paying for, but unfortunately I can not afford to pay the team. I wish I could, but yes that boosts the costs and it would be impossible to finance. If profits for the movie, some would go to them, of course.
Q: Have you tried to get some kind of grant for this project? Have you inquired into some production?
A: Well, this issue is interesting. Yes, I presented an initial version of the script to aid in script writing. No luck in the ICAA, not in the Comunidad de Madrid and in Navarra. And that in some cases would have the backing of a producer more or less known. Being rejected aid to writing the script made me think that either would be easy to win grants for film production. I think that is partly because it is a script, and a project that does not fit exactly into the usual parameters of the film "eligible."
Q: What movie do you mean by "eligible"?
A: Well, I can speak from my experience, and just say that the more serious (in the sense of non-comic) is a project, how much social relevance has, the more expensive, ambitious and "conventional" is the production proposal, the easier it is to obtain a grant. If, however, that show is a cheap project, comic production "guerrilla" and without any social message, it is very difficult to get aid.
P: It is also possible that you have been denied such aid because the script was just bad.
A: Well, it's a possibility, yes.
Q: But do you think, right?
A: No, I think it is a project that falls outside of the grants schemes. So even tried to get aid to production.
Q: You could have tried, right? The "no" and you had ...
A: Introduce a subsidies is a subordinate effort and some time, waiting until they get concessions, submission to a delivery date and running, make contracts to all workers in a call ... I read, called the hiring of at least two meritorious from some autonomous region. We are working on my shooting four or five people. Really I have to recruit and bring me two young (to 40 percent more equipment) of a certain community in order to collect a grant? Might try to distort this, ask people to be enrolled in that community, distort the contracts with these young people but .... I do not want do such things. I want to make a movie not a master in creative accounting.
P: Well, it is clear but ... why not "crowdfunding? Those of " Cosmonaut" is they are riding very well.
A: Well, yes, "The Cosmonaut" have a complex project that requires more funding than mine. Also, from what I have worked in advertising and are very adept at creating events and merchandising for his movie ... in my case, I prefer not doing so much to this stage and, instead, focus on making the movie, that on script is relatively simple and better as soon as possible. I do not rule, much less resort to the specific phases crowdfunding for post-shoot: financing post-production, festivals, distribution, payment of copies ... That, I think that everyone who contributes to the production of this film should get something in return , after a certain amount, at least, a DVD copy and a kiss from the director in place of your body you choose.
Q: Did you ever see "Illusion" in theaters in Spain?
A: No, I think. In much of Spain there are no cinemas. Even there in a few provincial capitals. If you have no chance or see "Torrente 4", imagine what ours. If films produced by solvent companies can not be released, if large small film festivals are just as much as possible is "Illusion" will not be released in cinemas, at least not extensively. But make no mistake, there are very few small films that make money with their film premieres. What we are doing this movie know. But we also know is that we want to make a good movie. A movie of us proud. For now we are getting there. But much remains to be done.
Q: It's nice ... but impractical, "the film will stay in the can, on the hard disk or wherever?
A: No. The ship, without going to 35mm (ie, in digital format) to all distributors, all producers, all the festivals, all neighboring communities, all video platforms on the Internet, so that the movie can be bought and seen by everyone as possible.
Q: How much pasta you are leaving this?
A: I can let myself between fifteen and twenty thousand euros. I have nothing.
Q: Where do we get?
A: In a couple of accounts I have in different banks.
P: Yeah, but ... how it got there?
A: I have nearly fifteen years working as a scriptwriter, I have saved. I also sold a screenplay option last year.
Q: Do you get the money?
A: I hope so. But it is not easy. If not recovered, I will consider it well spent: a master's degree in management, production and interpretation would have paid more.
Q: That is another, you're the protagonist. Not a professional actor. Are not you afraid? Have you no shame?
A: Well ... sometimes I do gives a bit of fear and shame. Other times I think, why not? I wrote the role for a character I know who've played several times already, in short, in a movie. I will technically worse than a professional actor, but ... I know exactly what the director wants him, why the writer wrote that sentence as well ... and just because I save time explaining things to an actor, I think it may be worthwhile.
Q: Do you know that all this can be seen as a monument to your ego?
A: Yes, it is possible ... you mean the movie?
P: Sure. But ... also this interview.
R: Why?
P: Interview yourself is pretty crazy.
R: Ya. Maybe ... but hey, I think I did ... I remember Truman Capote also
Almodóvar ... P: Yeah, but they were already important people. Compared with them is pretty crazy too.
R: ...
Q: Some people in the asylum by less serious than this ...
R: What? Why it's autoentrevistarse?
P: Yes
R: So serious you see?
Q: I would say it is a pathological narcissism.
R: Well, you and I are the same, right? Why do you treat me so harshly? Huh? Why? Did not we agree that this was promoting? Why insist on boycotting, forever? Huh? Why am I doing this?
