Loan Me (video)
I feel like, if I just had the funds, right now, the rest of my future could be made by the works I want to create. Or at the very least, allow myself the opportunity to attempt the works I've been envisioning for so long and finally release myself of this burden of thinking so. For this, I am willing to put myself in debt so that I could grant myself the freedom of a month or two to fully engage in my projects, knowing that, after it's over, then I'll commit my existence to fully paying off the opportunity costs I brought onto myself to afford this chance. The only problem is that nobody trusts you. No matter the interest, you are still only a stranger.
This is a video I made around the sentiment I had when I was trying to get someone to loan me money to support the creation of a small series I want to make. Getting funding through producers or kickstarters is hard, so I figured if I just advertise a loan rather than trying to pitch a movie it'd be easier to get the funding I need. It's been 5 months. I'm at the last window for making this film because I'm about to lose an important prop for this movie: my setting (I'm getting kicked out). But I'm hinging on the fact that I can maybe sell my car to buy me more time.
Even if this film does pass me buy and I grow too occupied or changed to solidify it, whats still left from this is this piece that I conjured up that takes up an artistic concept of its own. I am infatuated with it and like to watch it with my own different interpretations of what I the original creator intended. The power of it gives me motivation to make even more works as an artist that provide myself hope that maybe a stranger will be able to see the same potential for these visions that I see. in me.
is this a good enough submission statement?
