part III rant

READ IT ALL.

im pissed off so im ranting about part III. first and foremost ive never really been into making part III, i personally wanted to end it after part 2 but due to the fact that i decided not go away to college it seemed logical to make a third one. once we all decided to make part III i wanted it to be all that the first two wernt, but my biggest thing was for it NOT be shot in saratoga. so what happens with part III like 2 skate trips, one to shelter (which some good footie) and one trip to amsterdam, which another one is going on right now without me which really is my last blow with part III. for this movie ive had NO control over what was released and made. a good example of this is bascially making a tralior to shut up chris and so he wouldent make one for me. i think youtube.com has runined the movie as well, due the fact that i could be the whole movie on there now and it will kill dvd sales, because lets face it ive put out the same movie twice and working on 3 times, its no longer about the skating or editing or anyhting its ALL about the $$$ (well the second was also becuase i know i could sell copys...). plus chris and kc care more about the movie then i ever will which i can see why its there skating on there, im rarely in front of the camera, or im just not there to film in the first place which again helps the matter. i prob only filmed half of the footie at for chris' part i filmed prob a 4th of it, because he gave me footie from last summer which has alot of lands that are useable.

i'm boiling this all down to:

1) i have no artistic freedom making this, ive made the same movie twice and its getting old.
2) i hate that i got to hide footie so chris cant put it all on youtube for little girls to look it.
3) saratoga baby! only place we like to skate, same spots in everymovie, and best part is someone else prob had some something better off of that gap/ledge, etc.
4) i highly doubt these movies will get you sponsered. yeah id give a movie to a pro if i wanted to be laughed it. and i doubt they care about you and your dumb movie.
5) the only reason i made the first one was because i needed something for my portfolio and for a reccmondation i never got in the first place (thanks again for nothing hogan) but atleast i still got into where i wanted to go without one. fuckers.
6) and most important im sick of skateboarding, i dont like it anymore i lost my intrest for it years ago but it was something to edit and work with. i want to get into makiung real movies, real shorts, still you can be creative with and write a script for.

dont get me wrong, i love kc, chris (really you guys mean alot to me and are my best friends) and anyone else i concider a friend i met via the skate movies but i feel its time to move on. its not about me not going to amsterdam today that just triggerd everything else ive felt. i dont know if im still on board for part III im not qutting yet but...
im really looking forward to putting out/making "kyles dream girl" the script is amazing and i think will be a good movie if done right. plus i got a few other projects up my sleeve for the summer not skating releated. i think something happned to me, i grew up. look im sure in few hours ill read this and be like wtf was i thinking i dont mean any of this but im just venting. and if i offended anyone im sorry. part III is up in the air right now for jackishaggard putting it out... still i want to be involved somehow with the movie i just dont know how much anymore or how much i even am involved with the movie anymore

end rant.

p.s. chris, kc no matter what happens please still be my friend.
