Pro tip, indie filmmakers: After you’ve lost precious blood, sweat and tears making your indie film passion project , don’t blow it when it comes to getting your baby out there! Let big time producer Wallace Cotten show you what not to do — namely, let your goofball actors muck it up — unless you want to get stuck submitting your independent feature film to international film festivals in VHS form. Or “HD-VHS.” It’s not called “submitting” for nothing, people. Special cameo by the Slamdance offices and fest president Peter Baxter! That wraps up our exclusive premiere of Slamdance TV’s Modern Imbecile’s Idiot’s Guide To Making Movies For Dummies series, as the Slamdance Film Festival kicks off tomorrow. You should now be equipped with all the tools necessary to go out and get ’em, fledgling moviemakers! Slamdance alums Kevin M. Brennan and Doug Manley have teamed up with Slamdance TV to present Modern Imbecile’s Idiot’s Guide To Making Movies For Dummies. In the five part web series, Slamdance TV’s very own Ben Hethcoat goes behind the scenes of Wallace Cotton’s latest feature film, COP HEAT starring Brennan and Manley as the titular duo, Don and Lizard Man. COP HEAT “Two hot for the streets. Two hot to handle.” Join the festival ‘By Filmmakers, For Filmmakers’ in this Slamdance TV original web series which explores the independent filmmaking process.
