I wish that people promoting their work would show respect and just
tell us they are promoting their own work. This "hey look what I found
by accedent" way of promoting is insulting. It makes the assumption
that the people reading are dim, unobservant and easily fooled. I don't
like being treated that way.

This cut and past notice was posted on a dozen messageboards - easy
to do a Google search.

Frankly this sounds pretty good. I like the premise - but I'm not going
to support this fake promotion method.

I agree - perhaps the producer was too shy and should learn some social skills. Anyway, I'm not going to watch until I get approached in the proper manner.

There is nothing wrong in marketing your film properly, as in asking people to view and comment on your work. I'd be proud to do that, if I could make a film.

I agree with you guys. Once in awhile I'll post something in a forum that I found relavent or really cool but I've never posted like that before. I think it would be best to just promote your own stuff as yourself. People think its cool to chat with filmmakers, it's like your instantly a celebrity for making any old movie 🙂

The worst part is he's probably not going to respond to any of our posts, eh? Spammers... oh well, I hope he does well with his movie regardless.

It's true tho...for me anyway. I think its a lot of fun and makes the movie more special when you have the opportunity to talk to people that helped make it happen.

But then again I have a huge passion and lust for movies 🙂

Ok guys, you got me. Im promoting the film. But Im no spammer, just going to sites where people may be interested on it. My most sincere apologies for everyone. If I offended somebody, it wasnt my intention. I never thought it was going to be insulting promoting the film in this way, once again Im sorry. From now on Ill post as my self.

Just take a look and comment on it, and if you like it tell your friends, its free for all but you could buy a DVD if you want ;).

I don't think anyone was offended; we're just up front about it. In the future, just say that you're a beginner, and you'd like some feedback.

Social skills is something everyone should learn, including me. 🙂

No one was offended.

Everyone who comes to these forums is either a filmmaker or
interested in filmmaking. There is nothing wrong with
promoting your movie. All we ask is to be treated with respect.
I often buy movies from my fellow filmmakers. But this "I was
surfing YouTube and found this movie" method is insulting.
And it's not even the truth.

Did you really think that method is better than introducing
yourself as the hard working filmmaker you are and asking
your peers to support your efforts?
