Just had to tell you this because it is kind of.....funny.....
I was contacted by a guy in Europe who asked me if I was interested in making "Spirits for sale" part II. He had some Indians for me....ready to help me with the film. I told him I sure was interested but what about the costs? He said it was taken care of, they had enough money. "Would you make the film?" he said.
I thought to myself this was too good to be true (and then I thought: would I survive another film??? Haha!). So we started talking and after two minutes I suddenly understood what he was asking for. He had got some Native exploiters together - he used to "import them" to Europe - and had raised the money (on what? Selling sweats?) and now wanted me to make another film. From their viewpoint, I guess.
Well, needless to say I said no. Never!! I am not in it for money!
Strange that he would ask ME, since he had seen our film and knew what it stood for. Don´t get it. There are loads of filmmakers around. Or would it be an attempt to seem legitimate? Or if I was offered enough money, would I change sides?! I am trying to understand, wondering if there was some devious plan to all this.....
