  0 0 There doesn't appear to be a way to respond to all, so I'll respond the the latest. Thanks for all the good stuff to think about. It's a conversation worth having. Part of what I'm saying is that people who want LA or NY shouldn't look here. They already exist and you can go there if you wish. I've lived in LA... I think it is possible to make a $50K movie sustainable because the threshold for return is so much lower, and there are fewer crew needs. And crew working at that level know that they aren't going to support their families with film work, just as so many other artists in other fields have their day jobs. There's also nothing wrong with making a "small" film with the aspirations of making "bigger" films in the future, but if you're just doing something as a stepping stone, its unlikely the work will be great. Flashy, maybe. Part of the reason there's no local film scene worth the name is that no one in the local press (with a few exceptions) has been talking about it. That's part of what I mean about letting the tail wag the dog. I don't think SIFF should be bigger, though. It's a friggin' bloated behemoth. Better, probably and more fun, certainly.
