Ok so I don't know much about the movie business, but I'm guessing thats not really alot. Do you think money is going to be tight for the movie?

Money's tight on most films. We have to be thrifty, but everything should work out fine. Unfortunately they can't afford to fly me out and put me up during the shoot, but that's the price for working independantly.

and cheers to you Mr Matsui!;)

Well that sucks. But hey, this is probably the coolest project you've worked on. Whats the pay like for the job though? Just wondering because I don't know a thing about the industry.

Typically a writer is paid 2.5% of the budget... we got decidedly less, but that's what happens when you're a beginner. The money I made off GIALLO didn't even cover my debt (but it paid off most of it;) )

The more films you've made, the better the pay - and if you write a hit or two, you can get paid huge.

I guess a true artist doesn't have a wife and kids to support either.

now THIS makes it all seem worth while

My Screenplay title, Dario's name and Adrien & Emmanuelle in the shot.


and Newb - I ain't no fucking artist, I'm just a guy who makes movies. Dr. Carpenter has taught me well, I'm a capitalist
