I love Ed Burns, in a manly filmmaker kind of way.

It’s all about finding people to work with you and enjoying the process.
Thanks for this. I’m web developer and make shit for money. It’s taken about a year of saving and scrimping to pull together money for my gear (almost there). All the while the little voice in my head spinning that I’m a bum and all my projects fail. Watching Ed talk about the process and seeing the results – yeah it’s possible to pull together a little film with affordable digital gear and cool friends. With a bit a work and some luck, just makes the ‘dream’ seem possible.
Great stuff!
Ed grabs the horn by the ball after all the success and fame , old school . He’s the man .
Nice Movie, I really like the trailer. Looks and feels professional.
