A PASSION FOR FILMMAKING

http://scottspears.net/video/passion.mpg

This is the best 60 seconds I've seen in a long while. Shot 16mm by Scott Spears, and written/directed by John Whitney. The film answers the question "what does a director do in their spare time?"

Hahaha, nice.. something tells me if there was ever a 'Jackass' made by filmmakers, it would be something like that.

I love John WHitney's directoral style. Very dry wit.

Hey Peter,

Where is Hollywood, Ohio? Does it have a big sign marking it?

No, it's a suburb of Wadsworth Ohio.

The Hollwood sign here is on a small hill next to the Luthern Church. It was made by the Amish.

EXCELLENT...

although,

I think Scott could have held out for a little more of a nuance from the cemetary bust!

I thought this was definitely funny. Seen a lot of stuff similar to this, but it was still funny. I felt like there should have been a bit more. I think overall I felt like it wasn't carried out as far as it could have been.

But I definitely got a laugh out of it!

Even though I've seen it several times now, I still get a chuckle out of it.

Made me giggle. The B&W clips seemed a bit blurry to me, but hey it's fun.

Also, for a second there I thought your signature was a link to www.sonnybono.com but.. I read it too fast, haha.

That was funny! If the ASC Store (http://www.theasc.com/cgibin/store/acsstore.cgi) ever wanted to run an ad, this would be it!

Thank you for sharing it with us. I know I really needed the laugh today.

VERY COOL!

With the sunglassess you errily resemble Steven Soderbergh. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Uhhh

That's not me. That's really Steven Soderberg as the "director".

Well don't I have egg shells on my face.

Don't - I'm kidding - that's not Soderberg, it's a PA on a few shoots John Whitney did. His name escapes me. I was just upset someon thought that was ME!
