From the looks of it he is desperately trying to get funding from various sources to create his films which involves government grants or even entering competitions.  He recently tried to apply through one competition but wasn\u2019t successful by the looks of it.  His track record didn\u2019t seem too good as well as it seems like virtually all of his projects never got outside funding.<\/p>\n<p>So what was surprising was how for one competition he actually saw the projects that were funded and usually you can expect some good ones and some bad ones.  He then took this opportunity to publicly bash some of the projects as looking very unprofessional considering they were granted funds to make this film which he then started to gloat about how much better he could have done.<\/p>\n<p>He actually started to get quite technical too about it on how everything he had in place would have in a sense guaranteed success while essentially bashing the organization as a whole.  That was so crazy I thought considering virtually every grant opportunity hasn\u2019t chosen him.  As well, don\u2019t you think criticizing other people\u2019s work in that way can only lead to burnt bridges of sort? <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one thing if you actually have the portfolio and accomplishments to be that blunt kind of like a fighter that talks the talk and walks the walk.  But generally speaking I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea to have that kind of approach in an effort to promote yourself.  Again, especially if you don\u2019t have the work to back it up per se.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was surprising to read this comment today from a person who seems to want to be film producer of sort.
