After I do that, I usually call to the set and tell them they had better get a ton of pictures of the actual actors doing something on the set in character or else we won't be able to create the key art that sells the movie to the buyers.Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137025404327426886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723694708241783897.post-11891785767946512912010-06-10T12:38:20.200-07:002010-06-10T12:38:20.200-07:00As a trade-mag editor in Hollywood, I see dozens o...As a trade-mag editor in Hollywood, I see dozens of pix just like this when I visit the photo departments at various studios and PR companies, and you've captioned them perfectly.

Ironically, Torque inspired my buddy and me to max out a bunch of credit cards and make our first biker film as a retort (seriously). I know it wasn't your fault that Hollywood made you do that bad biker movie, but it did inspire us to have a go at it. "Choppertown" won some film festivals and we've been living off our garage-built biker movies ever since. Now prepping our first horror film to shoot in Seattle on Super 8mm, wish us luck.Zack Coffmanhttp://www.oneworldstudiosltd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723694708241783897.post-77303749419722738312010-06-10T09:00:20.517-07:002010-06-10T09:00:20.517-07:00JK.
