HGF is awesome isnt it?

yeah :cool: . but...

:ohmy: but what?.. wtf duran? :sad:

well, ive been here almost four years now. I wanna see a new direction. I wanna welcome new film makers of all types...honestly, I see film makers being considered on level with rock stars. no shit. were alot like musicians or athletes. we collaborate, we sell dvds and tshirts and shit, we have our positions. were entertainers. WHY LIMIT OURSELVES TO THIS!

:huh: duran im not following.

I like to see homegrown as more then that. IVE NEVER EVER FUCKING EVER DONE A FUCKING STUNT! I DONT LIKE JACKASS, FUCK CKY AND IM NOT ALONE ON THIS. I being one the most actively filming members arguably does nothing in that list. this isnt the only shit there is to film is there? NO!!! hgf has this STUNT/SKIT/PRANK obbsession, but the possibilities are endless for this stuff, FUCKING ENDLESS!! the description should be changed to something along the lines of.

says the same shit just 1000x more vague + better shit, opening more room for interpretation, and room to go off on some new shit, this includes everything stunts, sports, documentrys, feature films like dex's, graffiti and everything.

Image file not present in the recovered backup I can fully support that, its totally understandable. but what else duran? :unsure:

Just a new outlook, we've been subconsciously bombarded with this is what homegrown is. im not saying any group needs change. or we do anything drastic. but lets open up some doors and maybe some minds too.


thank you, over and out.

:blush: bai duran

I feel him. Especially since everything I'm doing lately has nothing to do with anything on these forums. Yet these forums pushed me to keep doing shit with film, and now its helping me.

So I'm a RL example of his thesis.

I agree 100% with this, especially now that everyone on here has grown up and moved onto bigger and better things.

HAH wow, I remember typing that, apart from the Jackass and CKY bit, Gman was just looking for some keywords so Google would pick it up and wanted them in more of a description type thing, I believe. I agree though, but at the time it was a pretty reasonable description!

Duran has a valid point

It's definately worth taking the directed attention away from strictly stunt, skit, prank oriented groups. As Duran said thats not the only way things go on here. I think GOMP as an example are more rounded in terms of what we film, we're not all about HXC stunts, we dabble in everything.

Even though I haven't been here that long.. I think it's a really good idea
People from all kinds of filming and documentary will start joining
Not just stunt groups.. and it'll be a better enviroment on HGF.
