1k feature

From the "OMGWTF" files of my life:

My day job is in apartment property management and, yes, it sucks. Please be kind to your leasing agent or property manager, because they are hated in the eyes of God. No sense in piling on.

Anyway, we recently had a round of evictions at my property for residents that had gone two or more months without paying rent, and one of the apartments featured a real batch of winners. College-age, scruffy faced, tattered hat, poker-table-as-coffee-table, empty beer bottle collection guys. Guys that get arrested by the marshal performing the eviction because they had enough weed to stuff a pillow. Those kinds of guys.

After the eviction, my manager and I entered the apartment for the final inspection. Beyond the general filth and stickiness inside the apartment, another key feature jumped up and got my attention. A thick, sedimentary layer of porn. Pornography. Teh pr0n. I can’t properly do justice in print to the insane amount of fake 2-D boobs and ass that leered at me from every wall, closet, and square inch of floor space in the apartment. These guys had a sickness for it.

While I’m processing the staggering cost of this abandoned collection, a thought crossed my mind. In the upcoming $1000 Feature Film, there’s a specific scene involving (EDITOR’S NOTE: CLASSIFIED), and the walls inside that location are supposed to be covered in this exact, trashy style of porn. If I managed to heist some of this stuff, then we wouldn’t have to spend money to buy it – obviously a big plus.

Thus hatched the Great Georgia Porn Liberation of ’08.

Welcome, world, to the all-new all-different Digitribe Productions website. I do hope you'll stick around, check out our projects, and get involved in our growing community of indie artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, fans, and whatever else you want to throw at us. Into performance art centered around pork products? Bring it, bacon warrior.

In the coming months, you'll most often see my name associated with the super sekrit "$1,000 Feature". The idea behind the 1KF is to prove that budget and resources -- while very, very helpful -- are not the most important ingredients in a feature film. Instead, a good film is made by talent, dedication, and ideas. A good film is made by crafting an interesting story and telling it well. I believe this without reservation, and I consider it each time I see a $100 million blockbuster that sucks canal water, or a tiny indie that blows my f'n mind.

I'll have more to say about the 1KF as the weeks go on. Keep your eyes on this blog, as well as the project folder for updates and production diaries.

Welcome again to the new site. Let's shake the pillars of heaven...
