Humblings of Criticism

So it has almost been three weeks since my film, Bounty, was release on DVD and BluRay and it has been interesting, especially reading the reviews people have on the film. I find it very funny reading some of the reviews that absolutely despise the film and have nothing good to say about it, then the next day I meet someone who loved it.

I would have to say that the whole experience is very humbling yet at the same time I have learned to ignore some reviews and really take to heart others. I'll be the first to admit that I can make the next one better but one thing that would inhibit me from improving is if I blew off every negative comment about the film with the mentality of "they don't know what their talking about." Behind every comment there usually is an element of truth and many of the reviews I have read to be the most helpful have pointed out things they do appreciated about the movie as well as thinks that they feel fell short of the genre or a quality film.

In short, even the ones that make some pretty ridiculous statements have something to say that may help me improve on the next film. My art has matured greatly since I made Bounty and I can only get better from here. So, with more attention to editing, power lines, script, sound...and hopefully a longer shooting schedule. The next movie will be leaps and bounds better than this one.

Everyone has to start somewhere and fortunately my first start actually landed a distribution deal. And there is more to come!
