ad...if you don't want to shoot nudity, then add in more action scenes. Or maybe subtely show more sexual tension between the actors, or skin, or whatever without the nudity. Or come up with a better hook. Or any number of things. Yes, your film has to be marketable, but there are many ways to do that. It depends on what you are willing / want to do.

An example: it's pretty common knowledge that the studio wanted to fire Coppola early on in shooting The Godfather, but even after they decided to keep him, they kept threatening him with bringing another director on set, an action director, because they didn't think there was enough violence. Bringing another director on set is a pretty big insult. So the next day, he shot the scene where Connie gets beat in the bathroom. I don't know why he did this, but it serves as a good example. He added violence into the film, without showing any blood or any physical altercation for the most part. You just have sound and screams coming from the bathroom, but it works.

Just be creative.

If I'm reading this correctly at one time you were okay being a "media whore"
and would rather be one than be poor. But at some point that changed and now
you would rather be poor than, for example, then go back to writing radio commercials?

LOL... not exactly. I was a media whore and working in advertising caused me to "burn out" twice in four years. OK, I won the advertising equivalent of an Oscar and got nominated 14 times... but in the end I just couldn't do it anymore. Twenty three carpet ads too many, I'm afraid.

When I got into film I decided that I was going to find a way to make my mark in the business as a writer... then I slid into being a writer/director and now I've ditched the director part and am solely a writer/producer.

I've got no problems with being poor... providing I know it's a temporary state.

The truth is, it's taken nine years of near full time film making and poverty to learn enough to be able to play with the big dogs. What I learned at Cannes 08 is that my investment and strategy has paid off. I'm now getting the opportunities that I've always wanted.

My decision to go the "rather poor than media whore" route has been as much a business decision as it was a moral one. I figured that if I got sucked into low budget film-making in the "$100,000 to $2M" range, that I'd carve a comfortable niche there and by doing that find myself in a position where I'd never be able to take the risks needed to have a crack at the majors.

By staying poor and hungry, I've never had anything to lose. This has meant being able to put aside months at a time to write... or to research production techniques... or to develop marketing strategies. I don't know of any other film maker who has had the freedom I have had over the last four years.

At the same time, I've had to do all of this, whilst restarting from the position of being fiscally bankrupt (if not technically).

I couldn't recommend my route to anyone else; but, it's the only way I could have done it. I am, as you guys know so well, essentially an iconoclast.

Rik,
I'm a consultant. That is the corporate version of a prostitute. I am selective about which projects I do on a volunteer basis, and it's always nice to get paid for a project I feel good about, but paying the bills takes precedence over feeling good.

On an entirely different tack, my first experience with pornography was really therapeutic. I was a screwed up adolescent, raised in a very religious environment, full of contradictions and hypocrisy. I had sexual fantasies that brought me a lot of guilt and were impossible to express because I was sure I was the only one who had those kinds of thoughts. The first time I walked into an adult bookstore and saw the breadth of human sexuality I felt, for the first time in my life, that I wasn't alone. People can get on their moral pedestals all they want and go on and on about the evils of pornography, but nobody has ever proven a causal link between people viewing sexual images and those people becoming sexual deviants. To the contrary, it has been shown that many people find an outlet in pornography that may prevent them from acting out in socially unacceptable ways. I have as much disdain for the porno industry as anyone ... the greedy ones who must spam my inbox with unsolicited advertising rank one rung below pond scum in my opinion, but there is obviously a market for sexual content, and I have contributed to that market.

Violence (sexual violence, domestic violence, and gratuitous violence) disturbs me. Consensual sex between adults does not bother me in the least ... even if it's not missionary style!

There was a reason for it. The editor wasn't trying to make the movie more marketable, he was trying to make it flow. The added scene slowed the pace for a few minutes. It worked well with the story, and sex is as much a part of a gangsters life as eating and sleeping.
