I don't get why the pros are shocked: other than the trilogy features, everything else was shot on DSLR's or phone cameras. Maybe they don't have the skills to operate a DSLR, but it fucking pissed me off that the NZ Film Commission kept telling me I'd have to spend over a million bucks to make a film of that Weeded Out screenplay. Now that they've seen this R100 footage, they're salivating and want to offer me the money to do the cheap and dirty version. Too bad: shouldn't have doubted me. Ainsley has managed to really piss me off, so I'm going back to the indie route that has been my entire career thus far.
