Non violent film fest

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Sun Apr 29, 2007 9:22 pm

So I had an idea when we were having the long gun debates, people saying they are evil etc and then churning out really violent movies. So this idea hatched in my head. How about we do a small contest where every body intersted trys to submit a shot non-violent movie. No guns no knives, swords explotions, death, destruction, etc. Just to see if we can do it anybody intersted?

Nothing to hurt anyone? Sounds Kind of hard...
But I accept the challenge

nope no blood gore anything violent, slapstick would be exseptable though.

Hmm...on one hand, it seems like an excellent way for people to look beyond gore and special effects and actually try to develop great stories with three-dimensional characters.

On the other hand, it also seems like giving in to the anti-gun peacenik fanatics. Therefore I will forego this little experiment and keep on making films with "evil" guns in them.

As on of the leaders of the "not an anti-gun peacenik fanatics" I have to say this experament is more to see if people can do it, mostly I wonder if the anti-gun peacenik fanatics can.

because as one violent gun fanatic I know I can if need be make a non violent movie.

Quite possibly, the most disturbing thing I've seen here...

Got a movie about a guy breaking his coke habit that I'm going to finish shooting tomorrow, so I could enter that.

So u cant do horror? Amature drama movies suck.
Why hasn't anyone ever done a romance? Too manly? Too private? No girlfriends? No boyfriends?

angusware · Post by **angusware** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:50 am

Amateur dramas don't suck. This film was made in a week with iMovie and I think it's pretty stellar.

By the way, I think you just set yourself up for a romance film.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just remembered a Bum gets shanked.

I think you'll find the people who want to keep guns are the war loving fanatics. But we'll drop that subject, because I know it is touchy for some people.
This sounds interesting. It isn't that hard, though, to make a film without violence or guns or whatever (comedy being the obvious option for most filmmakers on this forum). Anyway, i'm afraid I'm skipping this one, I jsut don't have the time.

That film, Snooze, is great, by the way!

Apparently believing that people should be able to own guns to defend themselves and their families is equivalent to loving war...but, yes, touchy subject...

Then again, nothing wrong with a violence-free film.
