When you're a filmmaker you're part of a very expensive art form.
When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.
Remember: It costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential benefits are staggering. A pat on the back to an artist now could one day result in your favorite film, or the cartoon you love to get stoned watching, or the song that saves your life. Discourage an artist, you get absolutely nothing in return, ever.
Im gonna try to pay for CLERKS III myself. As much as I love the crowd-funding model, thats an advancement in indie film that belongs to the next generation of artists. I started on my own dime, and if Im allowed, I should finish on my own dime.
We try to balance inside and out so that we don't rely on just one thing. It's basically whoever is getting their shot to fall is who gets the ball.

Sometimes you don't know how he's going to get it to you, but he does. He's very good at finding the guy with the hot half.
Ronda really was key to the case. Her testimony blasted their whole defense that (Baker) was at fault.
Every hour that he's on the loose is another hour he could hurt somebody. So we need to do everything we can to find him, and we are.
At this point I am very happy to say we're within sight of our goal. There are a few final companies who are gearing up for their campaigns, and we are really counting on them to push us over the top.
