FUGUE FILMMAKER'S who r they????

A Fugue Fimmaker KNOW'S he doesn't KNOW! There are no geniuses in fugue filmmaking, just over-achiever's and driven passionate souls!

An F.F. has no inflated, nor, deflated ego. We are workers among workers. We are not better than or less than; hence, HUMILITY is paramount! No pun intended. An F.F. can't be egotistical, because nobody wants to donate their time, or house, or acting abilities to a "Jack-Ass!"

Again, we Fugue Filmamkers make movies w/ budgets of less than $20,000.00; however, more often than not, less than $10,000.00, and if you're like me, less than 5,000.00!

We strive to make Big Budget INDIE or STUDIO films. Once discovered, Producers LOVE us because we save them millions of dollars!!

Robert Rodriguez made his first feature film with $7,000.00 and became a sensation. Now he is making multi-million dollar films. Read his book REBEL without a CREW! Or in my view, From FUGUE to FORTUNE!

There is no methodology in terms of starting and finishing our films! We pick the lock!!

On that note, I'm heading back to the editing suite, my studio apartment, to continue editing my current FUGUE feature, MEXICAN AMERICAN PSYCHO!
Below is a clip from the movie. love, jd
