Let's put together a new indie film movement of DIY/ultra low budget filmmakers EXCEPT with films featuring minority & multi-ethnic casts & directors
Anyone who wants to join & are: 1) making movies - indie/real indie movies now, and 2) these movies feature multi-ethnic casts or at least some significant diversity, can sign up in comments, your application will be reviewed.
Eventually we will establish a membership review board. For now, leave a comment.
Minority directors are highly encouraged to sign up for this new filmmaking movement. As are "white" directors (given that they are not closed off to using minority talent in front of & behind the camera).
We will promote our movies, get fest & investor & theatrical & DVD & cable distro support & tons of press as Mumblecore has gotten; except of course our movies will reflect the ethnic diversity in America far better.
HONARARY MEMBERS of this New American Indie Film Movement:
Jon Moritsugu, Greg Pak, Gene Cajayon, James Spooner, Greg Araki, Jim Jarmusch, Jim McKay
(i am sure there are more that would qualify, suggest some names in Comments)
REGULAR MEMBERS (so far, the movement in only like 5 minutes old at the moment)
Sujewa Ekanayake (me) - founder
(and like I said earlier, if ya want to join, leave a comment w/ info. on you, your film, your approach to casting with diversity in mind)
