Have any directors/ screenwriters/ cinematographers made it in the movie biz WITHOUT nepotism?
i.e >through a killer first feature >made a short that generated buzz >etc
No casting couch bullshit, and no Cal-ARTS bullshit either. Through sheer "talent" or off the back of a particularly good film; if any of you have any good stories or anecdotes about unique circumstances then this is the right thread to share them.
I know screenwriting and film-making are two different disciplines in their own right, however they are still linked inextricably to the film-biz and both seem to have walled gardens to keep the ))))riff raff(((( out.
Fuck off incel. You're child pornographic rants don't belong on Yea Forums. Your IP is linked to posts on this board spamming cp pastebin links. FBI tip send, fucking pedoshit scum. Prepare your FAGGOT kiddy fucker ass. You will get cornholed and decapitated within the year. FUCK. YOU.

look up christopher nolan's brother's wife she somehow got a job after submitting a single script for a tv show something seems fishy, though
Carson Gray
>christopher nolan's brother's wife
Her name appears to be Lisa Joy on good old wikipedia, that is unless nolan has more than one brother, but I think it's who you are talking about.
Apparently she practiced Law before her entry into the film biz, and only met his bro at the premier of memento, which at this point both the nolan brothers were in the industry.
I assume she submitted this script in between her time of meeting nolan's brother and her practicing Law. Got any ideas what this magical script was?
it was a spec for some tv show with daisies in the title she claims a scriptwriter friend passed it to one of the higher ups behind the show and got a job in like a week i just don't see how that shit happens
Levi Morales
Ah "Pushing Daisys" I remember that shit being shown on sky 1 like a decade ago. Think it got cancelled too.

James Cameron was a blue collar guy who spent his own money learning how to movie, filled his house with cameras and and lighting junk, applied to Corman's studio, specialised in effects/model-making/art direction, raised partial funding for The Terminator with his wife, the rest is history.
>Anderson was born on June 26, 1970, in Studio City, Los Angeles, to Ernie Anderson.[4][5] >Ernie was an actor who was the voice of ABC and a Cleveland television late-night horror movie host known as "Ghoulardi" (after whom Anderson later named his production company). >was close with his father, who encouraged him to become a writer or director.[9] >Anderson was involved in filmmaking from a young age[10][11] and never really had an alternative plan to directing films.[12] >He made his first film when he was eight years old[7] and started making movies on a Betamax video camera that his dad bought in 1982 when he was 12 years old.[11]
Asher Nelson
The guy who directed Shazam. I disn't care much for Shazam, but he just did YouTube horror shorts with his wife, one of them went viral and the studios let him direct a full length of it called Lights Out. It did well so they moved him on to do the Annabelle sequel, which I don't give a shot about but I imagine it showed that he was able to work with a studio while at the same time taking care of things himself. His YouTube channel Ponysmasher has a lot of good behind the scenes stuff showing just how much someone can do with free programs at their disposal Ike blender/resolve/reaper. The guy is an inspiration regardless of if you think his movies are good or not
Henry Brown
Maybe Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi? They both started with self-financed little movies.
Regardless of how you personally feel about him, Kevin Smith.
Cooper Foster
I forgot about Lights Out, good one actually! The horror genre actually seems to be the one where you can make something on a shoe-string budget.
I actually don't know much about Cameron, but if any of this is true then it's pretty cool.
Thanks didn't know about their early history. Will look into it.
Nathaniel Long
Nah not really. Snyder had a lucrative career in commercial directing prior to Dawn of the Dead.
Michael Smith
Supposedly Cameron sold the script for The Terminator for like $1 under the condition he could direct. Stallone did this with Rocky as well.
Ryan Garcia
Yeah, the Shazam film you're all excited about is from a guy who did exactly this. He made a series of shorts that got attention on YouTube and went from there.
Nathan Russell
And a hot meal was the first thing matt leblanc bought from his wages from friends. ;^)
Ha I've actually heard stallone's story about the rocky script before and I can believe it. Didn't know cameron also got lowballed but that's actually cool. He had self-belief.

start with music videos
Brayden Thomas
>how to music videos Its almost the same principle. Has anyone made a good video for some no-name bum band?
Julian Young
Filmmaking talent is a meme. Whether something turns out good or not is just a matter of time and resource management.
Thomas Davis
No and even the ones who "had no connections" still made connections through film school or in the local film scene. Absolutely no one makes it into the business without passing the gate keepers. Not even reddit letter media can make a film with 30k a month to blow on it.
Brody Sullivan
It's gradual. You start by doing it literally for free for local small bands, then you make a couple of these and if it's of any worth at all these bands will either spread it to others or want more for other songs and then you start doing it for money, make work spread rinse repeat.
Look up music videos of these rappers, some of the directors of those start from literal no name instagram photo hobbyist and end up with hundreds of thousands in budget for music videos, commercial and then films.

>Sam Raimi? Jewish. >Through family, friends, and a network of investors, Raimi was able to finance production of the highly successful horror film The Evil Dead (1981)
>Peter Jackson His first film >The film was finally completed thanks to a late injection of finance from the New Zealand Film Commission, after Jim Booth, the Commission's executive director, became convinced of Jackson's talent (Booth later left the Commission to become Jackson's producer). In May 1987, Bad Taste was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, where rights to the film quickly sold to twelve countries. From that free nepotism of the Commision paying for his film, he then went on to help right for playwright Stephen Sinclair, writer Fran Walsh (who he started fucking) and writer/actor Danny Mulheron. Mind you this is all New Zealand which is a small community. But he had lots of help

Hey retard, OP was asking for examples of directors that broke into mainstream Hollywood filmmaking as an industry outsider. Both Raimi and Jackson are valid.
Bentley Rivera
>The guy who directed Shazam. (((David Sanberg))) >He learned more about filmmaking from (((Svante Rosberg))), the film commissioner who ran Film i Jönköping when he started, and whom Sandberg considers his mentor.

>In 2013, he released his second horror short, Lights Out on youtube >One of these contacts was Lawrence Grey, a producer who wanted to adapt Lights Out into a feature-length film Grey is active in the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
SEE HOW IT WORKS NOW?
>Both Raimi and Jackson are valid. Raimi Jewish money and Nepotism Jackson = free New Zealand money from the head of the fucking Film Commision who menators Jackson and then he starts fucking a chick who hooks him up with a famous actor and playright to ghost for. You stupid fucking pleb. You'll never achieve anything, dreamer.
Raimi raised a few hundred grand for Evil Dead by basically begging everyone he knew with money. It’s not like he had a rich Jewish uncle that wrote him a check. He’s from fucking middle class Michigan, not New York.
Daniel Lopez
>Raimi raised a few hundred grand for Evil Dead He literally got Jew sheckles through nepotism ((("a network of investors"))) you retard.

That’s not what nepotism is you gigantic faggot. Indie films get made by finding people to finance them. If you’ve ever donated to any sort of crowdfunding project, you’re an investor.
Adrian Ross
>That’s not what nepotism is you gigantic faggot. Indie films get made by finding people to finance them. LOL!
There is literally no chance in hell of your movie either being made from private investements or even being seen after unless you're either Jewish or connected in some small country film society. You live in a fantasy world sold to you by magazines that prey on losers like you.
Kevin Smith was neither Jewish nor well connected and got Clerks financed the same way.
Aaron Long
>Kevin Smith was neither Jewish nor well connected and got Clerks financed the same way. Again, you're a dreamer
Kevin Smith > the son of Grace ((((Schultz))), Catholic father >Met Hal Hartley in film school, a who became a key figure in the American independent film movement of the 1980s and '90s. >Released Clerks are Sundance in 1994 (a different world 25yrs ago) where HARVEY WEINSTIEN saw him at a resturant and invited him over to his table where he offered to buy the movie. (((Harvey Weinstien))) was the one who made Clerks famous. Smith was already connected in film school to a famous Indie film maker.
Uh huh. Keep blaming all your failures on the Jews. Very productive.
Jonathan Martin
Also: the internet and crowdfunding has made it so much easier to find financiers for your project than how Raimi or Kevin Smith had to do it. Quit being a faggy /r9k/ doomer.
Carson Parker
>Keep blaming all your failures on the Jews. What failures? You're projecting, loser.
I've established it every time the director is American, a youtuber, or didn't start in the 1980s. I do it for free just to show you losers that you'll never be anything. You don't play the game.
The game is all there is. Hollywood = CIA and Jews.
>how Raimi or Kevin Smith had to do it. I 100% proved that both of them were Jews with deep connections. Smith didn't "make it". He was funded by HARVEY FUCKING WEINSTIEN!
(((Raimi))) Evil Dead: >The low-budget horror film attracted the interest of producer Irvin Shapiro, who helped screen the film at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival. (((Irvin Shapiro))) >In 1932, he set up World Pictures (later renamed Films Around The World) >In the 1950s, obtaining the rights to some 1940s films produced by MGM (among others), Shapiro became a pioneer in the release of films to television through Unity Television, which he co-founded in 1949 >In over five decades as a distributor, Shapiro introduced American cinema-goers to many European films, including The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (d. Robert Wiene, 1920), The Battleship Potemkin (d. Sergei Eisenstein, 1925), The Grand Illusion (d. Jean Renoir, 1937), Les Cousins (d. Claude Chabrol, 1959) and Breathless (d. Jean-Luc Godard, 1960), and was instrumental in helping end the American boycott of German films after World War II. He was also the first to handle films by such directors as Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, George A. Romero, Sidney J. Furie and Sam Raimi
Raimi isn't some small town Jew who got lucky you fucking pleb. You had HUGE connections
Harvey Weinstein purchased the distribution rights to Clerks, yes. The movie itself was totally independently financed.
Mason Watson
>haha ur pretty good at this, do scorsese Scorsese >Mafia Little Italy NY >His father was a clothes presser and an actor, and his mother was a seamstress and an actress >Attended NYC film school were he made anti-Vietnam war movies >Scorsese became friends with the influential "movie brats" of the 1970s: Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. >During this period he worked as the assistant director and one of the editors on the documentary Woodstock (1970) and met actor–director John Cassavetes, who would also go on to become a close friend and mentor.
Scorsese = the child of wannabe actors who possibly involved with the Italian mafia. Went to NYC film school (how did he afford this?), made some Commie propaganda films and friends with up-incoming Jews even before his first feature film was made. Also mentored by Cassavetes before any accomplishments outside of film school.
All you have to do is sacrifice your assistant and best friend.
Dominic Anderson
>Harvey Weinstein purchased the distribution rights to Clerks, yes. The movie itself was totally independently financed. You're missing point dreamer. Go back a shitty movie like Clerks and spend your daddy's money. You wont get a return on your investment.

You have no idea what you're talking about with Raimi. The original Evil Dead was financed entirely by non-industry people and was a legitimate gonzo shoot, and he only met Shapiro after the film was completed.
Ryan Campbell
He was connected to the indie scene because his dad was an acquaintance of a director of low budget, low earning indie movies? Come on bro. No one said it was easy to break into the industry but Kevin Smith really did do it on his own. He made a good movie at the right time and yes, got lucky by getting into Sundance.

Brandon Bailey
>Gareth_Evans Evens >Made a martial arts doc at the local college staring Japanese transfer students >Marries an Indonesia elite girl >Evans was hired by Indonesian film company as a freelance director for a documentary about the Indonesian martial art pencak silat.
Even is like Jackson in the sense that he started out in Wales, a small country. Unlike Jackson he didn't have big-local film connections but got lucky marrying a rich Indonesian girl and was contracted to make Martial Arts documentries for Asians (not Westeners). The top martial artist was cast in his next film paid for by Indonesian film companies which ended up getting him a win at a competition in Wales. He then went on to produce another Indonesian film company move The Raid (2011).
So essentially he married into a Indonesian elite culture. Made a martial arts film of a real local famous guy, funded by Indonesia govenment film society. And then made another they funded until he was recongnied by Hollywood through Asia.
>movies are funded by a group of investors shocking, truly the industry has been exposed for what it is
Levi Price
>Shapiro distributed it No he got it into the fucking competition. NOBODY HAD SEEN IT BEFORE THAT.
= Jewish Nepotism (Raimi was from fucking Michegon, how else did he get it funded by (((investors))) and connected to a major film producer since the 1920s? Some 80yr old Jew wasn't watching indie horror films from Michigan goys!
Adrian Morgan
Not accurate. Raimi screened the movie at any theater that would take it prior to getting a distribution deal. That’s how he managed to get some initial buzz.
Eli Roberts
>How about my nigga Shane Carruth? Shane Carruth: trustfund Jews >Mathmatic major who before becoming a filmmaker, he worked as a developer of flight-simulation software for US military >US Military connections. Married another LA Jew Amy Lynne Seimetz who stared in a few big things before Carruth ever got a real break. Another Indie film maker with (((Free Money))) because she was a waitress in LA and able to produce films (maybe parents funded them they're not famous enough to go any deeper).
Also friends with Ryan Johnson (Star Wars) before he made anything notable.
His big Hollywood feature did fall through last year.
Ethan Turner
yeah but he did darkstar in film school and sold a spec script before that
Nathan Thompson
You're so fucking sad, lol. You're talking about (((Irvin Shapiro)))!!!! You don't just screen your stupid indie horror film at local theatres and get his attention. He also was funded by (((investors))).
>movies are funded by a group of investors Not your movies GOY!
Again, not accurate. Sam Raimi toured around the country with Evil Dead and actively sought out anyone with industry connections willing to watch it. Irvin Shapiro didn’t just stumble upon it in Michigan, retard.
Lucas Lewis
>Married another LA Jew Amy Lynne Seimetz Wut? Amy's from Florida. I worked with her on a small project for the Borscht people in Miami way back when. Also, they never married. They were engaged and she called it off for reasons I'm not going to explain here. And as far as I know, Amy isn't Jewish. She sure as shit wasn't a practicing one.

>john carpenter You have to realize he started out in the 1950s making film. Different times but for Carpenter is was still neoptism and timing.
>He attended Western Kentucky University, where his father chaired the music department, Rich daddy >Attended USC film school 1969 From there he made all his Jewish, Hollywood, and Deep State connections. 1969 USC was like CIA art school. He was already a trained musician and wrote the music for John Longenecker (child of a famous actress in his school) for Resurrection of Broncho Billy (1970). So after 1 year in CIA Film school he worked with a child of fame and helped him make a 23min film at school which Longenecker invited all his mother's connections to view. They liked it and put it in theatres (a 23min film in theatres! = 1970s, different world).
No one ever said it was easy, dumbass. Sam Raimi worked his ass off to get people to notice his shoestring budget B horror movie. It’s called ambition.
Jackson Ortiz
>You have to realize he started out in the 1950s making film. lmao No he didn't. Every single post you make just exposes how few actual facts you have, you're just cherrypicking wikipedia articles.

Weird question, but are you allowed to put movie posters/DVD cases in the background of your movie? Not sure how copyrights entirely work with things like that.

Noah Reed
Lynch got into film school on the absolute weirdness of his short films. He was in art school in Pittsburgh before that. An artist friend send the film school a recommendation letter. Then he worked for 3 fucking years on Eraserhead off and on and actually lived on the sets, which were in the fucking kennels of the school, AFI, I believe. Mel Brooks dug the film and hired him for Elephant Man.

>That's 100% NOT how the industry works, dreamer. Throw your life away if you want. I'm not an aspiring film director, I just understand the process behind independent film distribution. If someone makes an independent film that isn't backed by a major Hollywood production studio, they need to get a smaller distribution company to buy the rights to their film so it can get shown in theatres. The Weinstein Company was one of the most prestigious companies that did this, they would go to film festivals and find films that they could buy and distribute in theatres to make a profit off of and win awards.
