Horseshoe Theory is bullshit, but I directed a film about it anyway.
Horseshoe Theory A weapons deal between a white supremacist and a member of the Islamic State blossoms into more. Starring Jackson Rathbone (Twilight) and Amir Malaklou (Argo) (Romantic Comedy) 12 minutes
We premiered at Slamdance and have been invited to 13 other festivals so far, including one in Hong Kong I wish I could afford to go to.
Decided instead of it being a Left-Right spectrum, it could be a Right-Right idpol spectrum, the white supremacists and the Islamic lone wolves.
We're developing it into a feature. First draft of feature should be done by end of month. Feature takes a piss on Limo Libs and Conservative retards too, and explains how Porky is the true weapon behind IdPol.
The redneck is one of the stars of Twilight, Jackson Rathbone. The ISIS guy, played by Amir Malaklou, had a small role in Argo.
Got any insider news on the workings of porky Hollywood comrade?
Isaac Rogers
I remember your thread from a few months ago. How is life going?
Dylan Moore
It's broken. There's going to be another WGA strike soon. The rest of the industry will unlikely show solidarity, same as 2008, as Hollywood is obsessed with itself.
The studios have stopped making movies about people, letting the independent space do that instead for much less money. We'll see more R-Rated Superhero films and we'll see more and more TV shows until the bubble bursts and it all falls apart. Then the tech companies will come in and take over.
More consolidation. Less creative control. More influence from corporate sponsors and foreign nations (See Hollywood's boner for self-censorship to please China.)
It's a bad time to be in this business tbh.
John Clark
So you directed a gay love story between the FBI and the CIA.
Matthew Taylor
Can't wait to watch it!
Nathaniel Smith
hey, glad you're back!
you're pretty cool
Angel Gray
It's good! Money tight but we won a prize at Slamdance and that got me a shitload of meetings.
I'm currently rewriting a feature for a big studio (For free right now, mind you. But that's what happens when your agents don't give a shit) and trying to get music video and commercial gigs while trying to get this feature written within a sane budget so I can independently make it. I'm also looking for a day job as my residual checks are beginning to slow.
I kinda miss standup, but since the scene in LA is so shitty, I don't really do it anymore. Mostly writing the feature
Anthony Barnes
Where are the good movies being made nowadays?
Connor Gomez
I'm here pretty much daily lol. Learn so much from this forum. Needed to find an outlet after the Sanders campaign ended and everyone went crazy.
Luis Stewart
It's a bad time. Most screenwriters are saying "Fuck it" and moving to TV. By focusing on features, I sort of feel like I'm driving against traffic, but also hopeful that my work can stand out because it's not in a sea of TV specs.
Also, since Netflix/Amazon/iTunes/Google don't offer the royalties that VHS and DVD did, there's massive upset within the creative community. Younger artists are not getting benefits that they see the Boomers and Xers get, and i think a millenial revolt in Hollywood could soon be brewing.
But who knows? We're an industry that's infamous for subservience and sniffing our own farts.
Justin Torres
stay strong fam
What are some of your favourite movies? You ever seen 'Goodbye Lenin'? You seen Zizek's movies?
Mason Nguyen
Everyone here who hasn't seen Goodbye Lenin should be banned tbh.
Robert Mitchell
-Pervert's Guide to Ideology wonderful.
-Goodbye Lenin is beautiful. Funny putting together that the bad guy in Captain America 12 was the same kid from that.
-Three Days of The Condor/The Parallax View/All The President's Men/ Marathon Man some of my favorite 70s Lefty paranoia films.
-Just saw Catfight last night at the Cinefamily. First Marxist film of 2017. Not amazing, but very refreshing to see those themes in a comedy.
Dominic Edwards
Everyone on this board should watch pic related.
Adrian Ward
whole trilogy is amazing
Evan Roberts
Holy shit, someone on Holla Forums who is accomplishing something! Kudos to you.
Matthew Davis
Never change, Holla Forums never change. Keep on ignoring that JQ.
Carter Thomas
sorry to tell you this (again), but that film is shit. I could direct similar one, I don't see anything special about it.
Eli Price
Holla Forums here, fuck off retard. OP is obviously technically skilled and he's mastered the skill of networking. You could not do as good as he has. He's a lefty faggot, but he's obviously talented.
Nathan Howard
don't diss the guy, you can't expect him to make something too radical when he's in hollywood
Brody King
Least he could have done was have them say Israel instead of the Federal Government, since the two characters are clearly being mocked it's not like he'd be facing any consequences.
Jace Sanders
What do you have against Jonny Quest?
Jacob Sanchez
Why do you think this?
Eli Adams
The Muslim doesn't have a dumb accent, the Muslim doesn't act like a stereotype, the actor playing the Muslim is more charismatic than the white guy. Don't pretend it isn't obvious that OP's bias isn't obvious. He shows contempt for the white supremacist, and shows no contempt for the Muslim.
Isaiah Richardson
You gotta namedrop us in the credits
Brody James
It's a fair criticism, the movie seems to be made for Liberals, which is the funding is probably.
Grayson Martinez
Now I see why you didn't name drop Israel and you deliberately misrepresented the beliefs of the characters.
Jason Taylor
That is true This is also true, I have very limited skills in this area.
My problem is that the film is so predictable. the only """leftist""" thing about it is that it pisses off both muslims and white nationalists and showing us that both of these ideologies are very similar. It might be good thing to remind this to normie """leftists""", but I still do not see anything so great about it.
he also have clip on pornhub :^)
Bentley Hall
You're an idiot. We portrayed the Muslim terrorist like a greaseball out of a low rent gang. He wears clothes we bought at Ross and yells Bro a lot. In the feature. the bourgeois elements of Abdul will be much more pronounced
This cost 8000 bucks. 2k from my savings, 4k from people I know, and 2k from a rich kid who follows me on Instagram.
JEWWWWWW (netanyahu is trash)
Jayden Phillips
Zionists were mentioned at the start.
Jaxon Lewis
...
Jason Cruz
I'm a racist and I liked the Muslim more than the white guy. You might hate me but my criticism is accurate. The Muslim is 100% more likeable than the clown playing the white guy.
Then why not name drop Israel?
Ayden Sanders
That is why you liked the Muslim more, your racial bias towards whites makes you especially angry when you see one that doesn't fit said bias.
Carson Sullivan
lol
double lol
Christopher Cruz
Me being a racist does not mean I like whites, I hate every white person I know in real life. This is why your film falls flat, the guy your portrayed doesn't seem like a real racist (he's a caricature of a racist, doesn't even have trigger discipline). Over all the film is good, you're a Jew with connection so obviously none of my opinions will actually effect your career in the long run, but still, you know I'm right.
Btw, before you make the feature, be sure and watch some actual videos of how to handle guns, a redneck would know those things.
Elijah Sanchez
...
Leo Sanders
I guess I have the time to consume your work.
Kevin Stewart
1. Should've done better with the gun handling. You are right.
2. Why do you assume my being Jewish means I have it easy? I lost a LOT of work for speaking out against Hillary Clinton during the primary, enraging the Celebrity Porkys. I have no nepotistic leads except for a distant cousin who could not give a fuck about me, and my family comes from the Valley, not Hollywood.
Jayden Wright
I never said you being Jewish means you have it easy. I have no doubt you put a lot of work into your art.
Maybe I was wrong then, I live in Southern California as well, and I've known plenty of Jews who don't have crazy connections. But don't pretend there isn't any Jewish nepotism going on in Hollywood.
Alexander Baker
Hollywood is run on Porky idpol nepotism, not Jewish overlords: That's why there's Jewish Hollywood, Gay Hollywood, Conservative Hollywood, Black Hollywood, Women Hollywood, etcetctetc.
It's about the money, not the ideology.
Adam Ross
[Hibernianism Intensifies]
Jackson Robinson
Once you actually make it and show some talent, that's when being a Jew will benefit you tbf.
Aiden Jenkins
lol. You believe Hollywood is a Jewish-run Meritocracy?
Brody Gonzalez
What's conservative Hollywood? Like Eastwood and Mel Gibson?
Are you fucking with me? What about someone like Lena Dunham, she obviously has a career because of her parents and Judd Apatow. Which part of Hollywood is that?
Hunter Hall
Eastwood and Gibson, sure, but also the MASSIVE Christian movie industry, which has two separate markets targeting both Rural Conservatives and Black Christians.
When I say "Women Hollywood," I'm talking about two things: Both the Diablo Cody style cliques and the advocacy movements from within the industry
Hollywood DOES have a problem with how women filmmakers are treated. It's just that idpol conducted by corporate "women in film" initiatives only serve to further Porkys interest by dividing and conquering. You know, classic idpol.
Jace Moore
Britty gub.
Wish it was paced out a little longer some parts seems too rushed. Like the first gun draw and the bit where he chokes the dude and after like 10 secs hes on the floor from exhaustion.
Cooper Smith
Look this is gonna be autistic but why do so many moviemakers do stuff like this? it throws my suspension of disbelief out the window.
Brody Barnes
Not autistic, and thoughtful note:
It's a time and money thing. When we shoot a scene with a plate of food, we're really shooting something like 10 plates of food. We're covering the plate being dropped from multiple different angles and getting the coverage we need.
To shoot the food being eaten in continuity would likely have cost hundreds of dollars.
Joshua King
No, it's is Jewish run though, if you have no connections and make it, as a Jew you will profit, if you are connected and a Jew, you will profit.
Chase Jackson
He did say it will be expanded into a feature. So maybe we should view this more like a rough draft?
Maybe my view of Hollywood is a bit too fantastical then. I'm a writer who deals with editors, agents, and publishers who live in New York, I guess I kind of just imagine Hollywood was the same with all the incestuous relationships and ass-kissing. I've literally never met and agent who wasn't Jewish, plenty of goy editors, but not a single agent to my knowledge.
Do you have any insight into wtf the deal with La La Land at the Oscars was? Was it a planned publicity stunt to switch it with Moonlight or something? Which part of Hollywood controls the Academy Awards?
Luis Rogers
Thanks for actually explaining it, it's gonna tick me off a lot less now that I know it. btw the film is bretty ok, keep up the good work.
Grayson Harris
God why is /pol so stupid.
Tyler Robinson
What did I say that was stupid?
Aaron Morales
This is hilarious, good job op!
Ian Stewart
Wait… I thought the horshoe theory was just a meme.. Do people actually believe in it?
Nicholas Bennett
Hey OP if your still around, I was wondering, do you have any plans to do an animated feature?
Eli Edwards
i don't. it's just a fun title.
also, im trying to get unbanned from Twitter so I can promote it more. but it's been fan sharing on chans. Posted this on halfchan Holla Forums and this is my favorite response.
Lucas Rogers
I would love to. Don't have any money to do it. I know a kick ass animator who if I did I'd talk to. I also do occasional VO work.
Christian Thompson
Why are you banned from twitter?
Caleb Clark
lol i told my followers to call my ex-agent's office after a Wikileaks email revealed he was threatening Tulsi Gabbard for supporting Sanders and said he would make sure she suffered for it.
It would be amazing to see Alunya and the gang animated.
Luis Carter
kek
Landon Perry
It actually really annoys me that when I got heavily involved in pro-Bernie activism, I would get a ton of positive attention from Heat Street and Breitbart, but the liberals said nothing.
I realize now I was being used by the Right. Still, I fucking hate what the Liberals have done to the entertainment industry over the last decade. They've used social media to terrorize artists into complying with specific ways of thinking, the same way the Bush administration did.
Connor Long
That would be dope. We have to some artists here, right?
I don't really feel like I have to talk about something I did 10 years ago for the rest of my life, but we live in a new world now, where Google results lead to public humiliation and Scarlet Lettering. It's fucking disgraceful that people who jacked off to it give me shit. I'm not the monster here.
Perhaps I should have been smarter and embraced making that dumb porno. I used to do standup about it.
I stopped doing comedy because I lost weight and stopped hating myself as much. I started getting behind the camera and frankly, the weird mixture of hazing, insider jokes, and the idpol of Liberal LA comedians got too exhausting.
Parker Lewis
There's a trilogy?
Ayden Hill
I for one, think you have a cute dick.
Henry Cruz
wow this is fucking awesome OP. impressed
Elijah King

Evan Hughes
Ha, all good man I was just being a smart ass. tbh I think anyone who has a problem with it is retarded.
Brayden Sanchez
Takes place between Once Upon A Time In The West and Once Upon A Time in America
Yeah, especially on the Eastside of LA, where I live. The comedians are almost all bloggers. And the club comedians kind of don't have much of a future ahead. It's either life on the road or maybe getting a Netflix special. The days of the big sitcom are over.
I'm just salty because people have been throwing it in my face for a decade. i should get over it. 7 million people have seen my dick. so it goes.
Carson Martinez
Huh it's a bit surreal to know that one of the stars of Project X browses Holla Forums…. Though I will say that I did throughly enjoy the film that he made and since he is here right now I would like to say one thing. That is I congratulate you the director of the film for making this and the only real critiques I have is that the film felt a bit rushed at parts and that maybe you could flesh out the characters a little bit more, but those critiques are basically useless because it was a short film so time is limited and I'm sure you're planning to make the film so we know more about the characters in the feature length version so I think those two flaws are going to be taken care of in the feature film.
Noah Baker
Isn't that kind of liberating?
David Howard
Shit, I had no idea. Yeah all three of those are good.

not when you get asked about it at the grocery store.

Xavier Evans

Nicholas Phillips
People do that to you in LA? Isn't that bad form?
Jayden Bell
That's a natural byproduct of capitalism though. The working class who don't have the time to educate themselves because they're too busy working three jobs to feed their kids aren't in a position, thanks to Porky bleeding them dry.
Kids from the middle class and the upper middle class who are in the NEET stage have the economic luxury of having support from their parents. It's not the same as rich kids who get a full ride, but they still get a bit more free time to pursue their interests and passions.
You can't blame Socialism when the system requires that it actively not being taught to people who don't have the luxury to learn about it on their own.
Carter Perry
To be fair, MDE got their show cancelled and then they were blacklisted from Hollywood.
Aiden Kelly
Damn, sorry to bring it up then. I didn't realise LA was such a small place?
Ethan Gonzalez
i mean it just happened once. also at a drivethru last week a bunch of people starting taking photos. it's pretty rare though and it's not like I'm working a ton right now so it's been slowing down.
I enjoyed MDE World Peace until I realized Hyde wasn't doing a shtick anymore. I thought he was doing some Marina Abramovic/Andy Kaufman level shit, but now I'm convinced he's a Nazi.
Don't sweat it I was being an oversensitive bitch.
Adam Wright
how is it horseshoe theory if they're both right-wing
Liam Wright
horseshoe theory is dumb if it's only about the left and the right imho. i'd rather it be about idpol extremes.
mainly, because i felt like it.

Good to know LA has it's own Nazis.

KEK some retarded Holla Forumsyp actually said ISIS is collaborating with commies in Europe. It's truly amazing that lefties have done more in this past month to fight Islamism than the right wing ever will.

Everyone knows Holla Forums gets gay with traps. This film is intellectually dishonest.
Jose Taylor
Sam Hyde's show got canceled though and he has been basically black listed. Once again Holla Forums claims to represent the working class but is actually just a pack of lying fucking jews.
Nolan Gonzalez
How is this about horseshoe theory when white supremacist (or any racial supremacist) is literally the same as an Islamist fighter who wants to kill infidels? They're both fundamentalist and extremist right-wingers. Horseshoe theory would be Communists vs Nazis.
Nathan King
The show got cancelled because Apatow and Heidecker through a fit. I think Adult Swim gave the Nazis what they wanted by canceling it. They should have left it go till it burnt itself out and kept a tighter leash on the cast's twitter accounts. not killed the whole thing, imho.
Evan Thompson
The working class can go fuck themselves, only retarded marxists worship such a retarded group of people
The idea is to eliminate the necessity of work, not to worahip how stupid it makes people, i.e. like you

Dude "what the fuck is ISIS?" LMAO

truly isis is the most leftist organization. OP this movie is halfbrained and orientalist and you should feel bad for making it
Logan Bell
Typical leftypol user
Jordan Martinez
its horseshoe theory because op thinks being in isis is a political ideology held by americas influx of arab terrorists that secretly live among us
Jonathan Cook
this isn't even remotely leftist though, based on the over-all theme it literally seems like something a right wing zionist hack would make
Kayden Sullivan
fuckoff Jonathan, racist piece of zionist shit

This thread went to shit but it reminds me that I wanted to make a thread or creative people. I make comics and I been unsure on what can I do to rise class conscience through my comics
Colton Torres
Yeah, but it still doesn't change the fact that you didn't denounce them or say that they sold out. In fact you fuckers celebrated having Holla Forums the tv show, but if a leftist did or does anything similar we're part of the establishment and we're hypocrites. Its almost as if you have a double standard with those ad hominem tu quoque fallacies.

Jackson Collins
It's easier to see in the actual film, but it's hard to see in the webm because the quality was drastically reduced
Julian Collins
Ever seen two people kiss in a movie? Its always gross as fuck, also this makes it easier if the actors arent totally behind it.
Jacob Hughes
Why do people call it the horseshoe theory when it's obviously a model?
Elijah Jenkins
yuropoor myself, my experience in rural and middle class partygoer culture points towards metrosexual; trimmed beards, skinny jeans, use of skin products, designer clothing (non sportswear)
maybe I put the bar too low
Austin Campbell
Yea thats not what arabs are like at all here in my experience.
Either that or because my entire country is metrosexual, their "metrosexuality" which would be impressive outside of here is sub-par
