Crap Shoot: The Documentary

Michael Hauge:
See movies are not successful because they are interesting to watch. They are successful when they are emotionally involving to be a part of.

The Narrator:
When the dead walk, the living run!

Ken Close:
I've contacted one hundred and twenty-six of the biggest names in Hollywood. Are you going to be okay helping me interview them?

The Narrator:
I'll show you how a small town DJ narrates in the big city.

Ken Close:
Good, and I'll show you where the Oscars grow!

German Film Critic:
Hollywood makes a dozen really good films each year, but we must sift through hundreds of crappy movies to find them.

Amaris Dupree:
You go to that movie and you're rooting for the character. So you see it, and you know when that person won their battle it makes you feel good because then you can win your battle.

The Professor:
Maybe what we see in the movies kind of caters to our ancestral needs that are still very much alive in us.

Michael Condro:
If you don't start with a good story you don't start with a good foundation, and your structure is going to fall apart no matter what.

Rhoda Jordan:
Conflict is really what drives the story.

Koji Sakai:
You can have the best director, you can have the best actors, but without good solid writing you don't have anything.

Joey Medina:
It's unfortunate but a lot of films that shouldn't be getting made are getting made. So for all you filmmakers out there - make your film. Whatever it takes, just make that damn thing.

Gerald Maxey:
What validates your project is not the concept nor how good it is, but who can recommend it. So that's why you need the contacts.

Ken Close:
Thanks to President Bush billionaires use stock to pay a flat fifteen percent income tax while we're paying closer to thirty, thirty-five percent when you add in Social Security and Medicare.

Tom Hofbauer:
I think the elements of a good movie are a compelling story, something that moves you in some way - either it moves you to cheer or it moves you to tear.

Belly-Dancer:
I think any idiot can make better movies than they do today.

The Narrator:
And that's exactly what we're here to prove!

Randy Burtch:
Things that we miss everyday, like humor, excitement, justice and even hope. You know, that's missing in the movies today.

The Magician:
It's all about control... who's got control, who keeps control, who forces control away, who let's control slip from their grasp. Everything is about control.

Ken Close:
I guess I'll just keep swinging away - the tree doesn't fall with the first blow.

The Narrator:
As Calvin Coolidge tells us, nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
