How A Filmmaker Turned Internet Critiques Into A Hilarious Meta Movie

Ever yell at your screen because the boom mic is right there? We sat down with Chicago filmmaker Will Adams to unpack how he turned the internet’s favorite “bad movie” moments into a sharp, self-aware comedy that has audiences laughing with the filmmakers instead of at them. From fake eating and no-blood gunfights to the infamous not-really-kissing kiss, Will bakes the jokes into the script, then lets pros like Damon Williams, Adele Givens, and B. Cole deliver them with perfect timing.
We dig into why writing is the single biggest lever for indie film quality and how a tight script can survive rough edges that fancy cameras can’t hide. Will lays out a practical blueprint—write first, lock locations, then cast with dates—and explains why unstructured improv often wrecks continuity and pacing. As a director, he owns the vision, coaching performances until the line clicks because “that’s a cut” is a promise to the audience. His Chicago upbringing—code-switching between grandma’s grammar lessons and South Side cadence—shows up in dialogue that sounds lived-in, not lab-built, and in his refusal to box Black stories into endless gangster reruns.
We also talk distribution and discoverability, the power of watching comedy with a crowd, and the music puzzle: why he partners with a composer to nail tone while dodging rights landmines. Will’s influences span Pulp Fiction and Snatch, structures where every character is the star of their own thread before everything collides. That DNA shapes the film’s spine, preventing sketch chaos and rewarding attention with layered payoffs. Before we wrap, Will teases Fluke—think Atlanta meets Curb Your Enthusiasm—about an out-of-work actor who keeps failing upward, proof that there’s room for fresh, funny, human stories that don’t recycle the same tired tropes.

Yo, what the deal is. What's going on? This your boy Monson's the rod, the dopest DJ, you heard this far, and the dopest host you heard thus far. And I'd like to thank y'all for checking in to the Shits Podcast where we're either shooting the shit, starting some shit, or picking up what shit left off. So this week, like I always tell y'all, um, we got a very special guest to the podcast. Um, my man has he's a filmmaker, and he has, I in my opinion, I think he has made the movie that we've all wanted to see. You know what I'm saying? So um I'm gonna let him tell you about it. But as for now, I'm just gonna give you my man's name. Y'all give it up for the one, the only Will Adams, y'all.
SPEAKER_09Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Why Make A Self-Aware “Bad Movie”
SPEAKER_08No problem, no problem. You know, uh when you said that, that's exactly how I described it when I was making it. Okay. The movie that everybody wants that they don't know they want to see it, but it's there.
SPEAKER_10You are absolutely right. Because I know I wanted to see it. Um what'd you think about it? I thought it was funny as hell. Oh, okay. I thought it was I thought it was fucking hilarious. Hold on for one second there, yo. I thought it was fucking hilarious, bro. Um did you see it? Did you see it twice? I saw watch it. I watched it once at work, almost got in trouble. Um then I watched, then I had to really take it fully in just at the crib.
SPEAKER_08So um the reason why I asked that because when we had in the theater, people they were laughing, and then I'm standing there watching. I'm like, you missing the other joke. You know, they laughing some of the good jokes that so yeah, bro, it's it it is so many.
SPEAKER_10I feel like it's so many, um, it's so many, uh how can I put it? Like smaller, not not necessarily small jokes, but ones that subtle, like subtle jokes, you know what I'm saying? And and I really feel like I really feel like you got the right person when you got Damon Damon Williams to sell it. Because it was like, it was so many parts that it was like his facial expressions, bro.
SPEAKER_08He was like, like, y'all didn't see that? Like, you know, so my my whole thing behind that, having the comedians in general is just Adele Givers and B. Cole. I wanted them to be this the the sanity because you know they usually cracking jokes and they making all the jokes, but now they on set and this crazy stuff is happening. And while this crazy stuff is happening, they like, hold on, you you you don't you do you don't see that dude with the microphone right there? And that's that's the much I'm gonna tell about because that's in the trailer, but it's stuff like that.
SPEAKER_10So um, I'm I'm I'm trying to remember the part that had me fucking rolling, man. Um well I don't wanna I don't wanna tell that part either. But when he called when when he caught buddy, when he caught buddy in the in a bed with his wife, and you know single, I'm gonna pop you, and he's looking like with that? Yeah, how you gonna say, how you gonna shoot him with that? You know what I'm saying? But it's just it's just crazy, man, because I'm watching, I'm watching your movie, and I want to make sure I put it out here and and give it give it its proper respect. I'm watching your movie, tube e movie, available um on Plex.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, and Mansa.
SPEAKER_10Available on Plex. So is is is there any anywhere else that it's available at?
Breaking The Fourth Wall On Purpose
SPEAKER_08Mansla, M-A-N-S-A. Okay. That's another streaming platform. Okay, cool, cool. So I'm gonna tell you, the way it came about was I'm sitting there watching. I mean, I'm sorry, I'm scrolling. And as I'm scrolling, I'm looking at all these people, they just banging these bad movies. They banging bad movies, they're talking about them. And you know, everybody's doing it for a reaction, you know, trying to, and because they laugh, and they're not laughing, you know, at the movie. I mean, they laughing at the movie. They're not just not because it's funny, but because it's bad. Right. So that they getting the whole, they getting the reactions they want. So I thought instead of making a bad movie, why not make a movie where it's self-aware, where the characters break, I mean the actors break character and and they like, you don't see that microphone right there? That way the audience can laugh with us instead of at us.
SPEAKER_10So one of the first things, bro, one of the first things that got me, and I didn't even realize that the shit happens until until I seen it in your movie. Tube E movie. I want to make sure I keep putting it out there.
SPEAKER_08You can say, no, say it's it's no, no, to be.
SPEAKER_10Okay, okay. Mansler, M-A-N-S-N. Available on Plex and Mansler. Um, I the motherfucker wasn't putting the food in his mouth, bro. Like it was in the eating, and I'm like, damn, how many times have I watched a to be movie and like didn't even realize these motherfuckers ain't even eating, you know what I'm saying? Or on kissing, bro.
SPEAKER_08That is crazy as fuck.
SPEAKER_10Hey, the son, the son, he's like, he's 16. Like, what the fuck? Yeah, dude, that shit was crazy as hell to me, man. Me and my girl was watching it, and she was rolling because she was like, damn, that shit do be happening, damn near all those fucking movies, man. One thing that like, so I I look at it like this. I I I give shouts out to anybody that's that's being productive and being creative. I give give them shouts out. So for motherfuckers that's able to get their movie out there, to get their art out there, that's that's dope. That's dope. Um to me, one of the problems I I always had with with with them with the 2D movies was it just felt like it was the same script. You know what I'm saying?
Where To Watch And Distribution
SPEAKER_08Yeah, and that's it, it bothers me, period, about movies that are on that level because they all gangster, they're all uh drug related. And when you think about it, we're more than that, you know. Well, I I know that culture, I know that that those situations, but I also know the people who work in offices, I also know the judges, I also know the aldermans and lawyers and doctors. So, you know, they have situations too. So it's not just like that's just our only life, and that's why, you know, when the powers come out, I can't watch those because it's the same thing over and over again, and we're different and we're better than that. Yes, okay.
SPEAKER_10Full transparency. Now, as far as the whole power series, I'm not a huge fan of it. However, I am a fan of the Raising Canaan series. I'm a fan, I'm a fan of that one. Only because I like origin stories. You see what I'm saying? Like, I know I I I'm interested in finding out how did this person become the person that they became. You get what I'm saying? So that's why I like the raising can raise and canon series.
Writing Over Visuals: Fixing The Formula
SPEAKER_08They were okay with the the set pieces, but the writing was real weak. It was real weak, and it's hard to sit there and and you see plot holes, you see plot holes, you see inconsistencies, you see almost the stuff you see in the regular Toopie movie in that movie, but it's just shot better. That's it. Yeah, that's a very good point. That's a damn good point. Everything that you see in the Toopy movie, but it's just shot better. That's it.
SPEAKER_10That's crazy. That's crazy. So you know what, dude? It made me want to ask this question. If you had to choose one, if you had to choose one, which which you would supply more of, would it be more acting coaches or script writing coaches?
SPEAKER_08Script writing coaches. The and they're almost saying uh this is what this is what I'm reasonable. Even if it's this if the script is tight and and is well written, the person who shoots it, even though they they they can be a horrible shooter and it still holds up. And the reason why I say that is because I gave a script to somebody and he didn't shoot it the way I wanted him to shoot it. It was bad, but it still held up. Really? Because the writing was good. Okay, okay.
Chicago Roots And Voice
SPEAKER_10So I I really should my first question was is really where you from? Chicago.
SPEAKER_08Okay, okay, what part? Born and raised. Uh uh, for the first five years of my life, uh, what do you call that stateway? And then um, what's that? Uh Southside, what you call that? Uh not between Avalon Park, Grand Cross, and stuff like that. Okay, okay. Well, it's the cross between Grand Cross, Avalon, and Chatham. All that mixed into one. Oh, okay. So you season. You season. Real season. Real season. Yeah, that's good. As when I say I see everything, but that's not that hadn't been my life because on the some summer times I would go to my grandmother's house. Okay. My grandmother stays a little further south, but she always corrected my English and made sure I was speaking grammatically correct English. So I go over her house during the summer and then come back home. And they say, Why are you talking white? Uh so you know, I had to do the Lauren, I had to do the Lauren Hill thing, is was I add a motherfucker so the ignorant niggas hit me. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, to make sure that I can continue to keep keep that diction going, I would have to bring a motherfucker here, yeah, and shit there. So people are, oh, he's cool, he cussed. All right, you know, so that that that's how they looked at it.
SPEAKER_10That's crazy. That's that's crazy because it made me think about how like how do you think, well, do you think that Chicago has molded you into the person you have, like the individual that you have become now? Do you think that's solely based on your Chicago environment?
Beyond Street Tropes In Storytelling
SPEAKER_08Probably so. Probably so. The writing, the the stories, you know, um uh show that I I'm still pitching called Fluke. I most of the most of the stories came from a real person. So, you know, it's not like you know, I because sometimes you can't some some things you just can't write. And when they tell when he told me the story, I was like, okay, that's in the script. You know, man, right? He's like, no, man. But you know, I feel like in a good way and a bad way, you know, it's Chicago's hard me certain and certain things, and my daughter has softened me a certain way. So, you know. Man, God bless you, bro. God bless you. So, you know, when it comes to um me being molded, I've seen a lot. So when I say, yeah, I've seen the drug side, but I also seen the lawyer side, I've seen the judge side, I've seen the doctors, you know, and writers too. You know, people who are uh uh into all different types of writing books, writing scripts, um uh news articles, stuff like that. And, you know, it's it made me it made me feel like that, you know, that that part of the world, which I say the the streets is not the only thing. Even though one I made a movie a long time ago called My Enemy's Son, which was a riff on uh Scarface's good girl gone bad. And I always say, Good girl gone bad is a drug deal that went bad, which resulted in his enemy's son. So yeah, that's that's the reason the movie was about my enemy's son. Uh a drug dealer went bad, so he ended up taking his enemy's son at the offer. But I showed that to my friend a while ago. And he was like, Will, we know you know about that life, but you know more than that. And he made me think, like, oh, I knew. So then that's when I came up with If I Die Tomorrow, dude trying to turn his life around. Then Silent Endeavor, a silent film that I created, the which led me up to Sex Ain't Love, which is a romantic comedy. Had nothing to do with the street. Oh, nothing to do with the street.
SPEAKER_10Honestly, bro, I love the title. I love the title, Sex Sex Ain't Love.
SPEAKER_08And I think that um I think it hit hard because I think women always say sex ain't love. I said, Oh, sorry, just watch the movie, just watch the movie.
SPEAKER_10But what? But here's the thing though. Here's here's the thing. Depending on who you talk to, people may feel like it's supposed to be.
Screenwriting vs Acting: What Matters More
SPEAKER_08You get what I'm saying? Like, well, the the movie show you it's not, you know, so when you move forward from that, and matter of fact, I I had uh uh somebody suggested that I should make a movie that's that's gonna touch everybody, which I failed at that because when when it comes to dramas, dramas don't touch everybody. Dramas is like having coffee and hot cocoa. You know, if you don't like coffee, you might like hot cocoa, but you don't like both. So you like coffee, but I don't. So my drama that I got that I'm showing you, you don't like. Another drama, the the the cocoa drama you might like. So that's step off the block. Step off the block about two guys that are on two different paths, they get shot at, now they gotta decide what they're gonna do. But that's not that wasn't everybody's cup of tea. Right. You know what I'm saying? But comedy, everybody likes to laugh, and that's where Tubi falls. Yeah, Tubi sets that up where you can sit there and you can watch. And since everybody's most of the time in their phone anyway, scrolling, they see what they're scrolling about in the movie, right? So they don't have to worry about, or not even worry about, they don't have to run into this person trying to get a laugh. They can actually laugh at something that's intentional, like Tubi movie.
SPEAKER_10Right, right, right, right. So, okay. Uh because listening to you speak about uh just the concept of script writing and the concept of uh trying to get the audience engaged, it made me think about what where did you study at? Like Columbia. Bro, I went there for two semesters. Then I realized that shit was hitting my pockets hard.
SPEAKER_08Oh, it hit everybody's pockets. I just got fans paying for uh my student loans uh when Biden was in office.
SPEAKER_10Congratulations, congratulations, yeah.
SPEAKER_08I appreciate it.
SPEAKER_10But you know how was that experience, man?
SPEAKER_08Columbia? Yeah, uh, I really I always say it's a it's a school of uh people from a hippie school. That's what I say, because everybody is there, but you know, me coming from so I'm gonna say that I it was a grammar school that I went to uh or elementary school, whatever anybody want to call it. But um my I didn't switch classes, and I tell people that they like, what you didn't switch classes. One teacher taught all the subjects. She she he and she taught all the subjects. We only switched classes for gym and library. So then when I went to high school, I was confused. So not even not even thinking about it, moving from high school, went to college, I was still confused. Somebody was calling me at the door. I was like, Hey, could you come in real quick? Come here. So I raised my hand, excuse me, uh, somebody at the door for me. And it was like, Okay. And and then he was like, You ain't gotta ask me to get up and leave. I was like, I didn't know. I didn't know that. I used to high school, yeah, raise your hands and say, I gotta go to Washington or whatever. So you know, it was a different experience because I was experiencing any and everything in real time. Like nobody told me nothing, and everything that came at me at all at once, like the burnouts, the weeds, um, even uh some of the gospel people, they they just they kind of latched on to me, which I I maybe I maybe I was dark. If you ask my friend Ronnie, he always said I was dark, but maybe I was dark, but I didn't think I was dark enough for gossip.
SPEAKER_10Well, I mean, you ain't West's life's dark.
SPEAKER_08I'm talking about like dark, like my my demeanor. It was like what you doing late. I'm like, yeah, no, nothing. I mean, yeah, I'm gonna probably stand by the sun.
SPEAKER_04You know, like, yeah.
Director’s Job And Holding The Standard
SPEAKER_08So, you know, it was a it was a it was a a a decent experience because it helped me grow. Now, I'm gonna tell you this. Uh, I thought I knew everything about all cultures, which was funny because I took an improv class, and in an improv class, they said something about it was the subject was Deuteronomy. Didn't know what Deuteronomy went. I still don't, I still don't know, but go ahead. It's it's something dealing with the Bible. Okay. So, uh, or religion. So I said something dealing with the dudes, and then guys said, all right, well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna Deuteronomy is dealing with the religion or the Bible, but I'm gonna take what Will said because Will said what Will said was funnier. In that moment, I realized I didn't know everything. I realized that I need to learn more and grow bigger because that right there, where I thought that I was that I knew everything, threw me off my it completely threw off me off my square. So then I start now I start paying attention, I start listening, and I don't know anything everything. So when some people someone somebody's talking, I listen, even if they're wrong, I still listen because I might get a little right out of it, you know. But for the most part, I just uh focused on making sure I grow in the right way.
SPEAKER_10So um, so when you said, first of all, when you said the thing about not switching classes, first thing I thought about because like when I went to school, like the motherfuckers that didn't that didn't switch classes, they thought they was special air. That's that's what motherfuckers thought they had a special ed. But that was in high school. If you didn't switch classes in high school, they was like, why you not going to other classes? You know what I'm saying? Then they didn't let the motherfuckers drink chocolate milk at lunch either.
SPEAKER_08So you had a special ed class when I was in elementary school. It was cool. We had one, but I wasn't in it. The class was like 30, it was 30, 32 or 34 deep. You know what I'm saying? One teacher teaching, yeah. It was tripped out, bro. It was tripped out. One teacher teaching all subjects from first grade to eighth grade. Oh now, when my my daughter was at school, she was like, Yeah, fifth grade. She's like, Oh, um, yeah, I gotta switch class. I'm like, really? Yes, fifth grade, you know, like you're not gonna get lost. I know I know I'm going like, oh, okay, well, more power.
SPEAKER_10So I'm gonna say this, man. Like, I feel like people like yourself are really needed. And I I'm I'm gonna say, especially for Chicago, because I feel like Chicago has so much talent, and Chicago has so much beauty to it, Chicago has so much culture to it, and Chicago has so many stories to it. And I just kind of feel like those stories are not being told because I think sometimes people approach it from one lens, from a gangster's approach, from a hustler's approach. And like hearing how you broke it down, like, especially when you said about somebody getting shot at, so it's like two different choices, you know what I'm saying? Like, I think that's an awesome concept. So that's why I said people like you are are definitely needed, man, because nowadays, go ahead.
The Meaning Of “I See What You Tried”
Indie Filmmaker Playbook: Script, Locations, Cast
SPEAKER_08Other filmmakers don't like people like me. Because if your work is good, I'm gonna tell you your work is good. If your work needs work, I'm gonna tell you it needs to work, and I'm gonna actually tell you how to fix your work. I'm gonna tell you that, okay, well, your lighting is off. You got a drama, and everybody is super bright, you got shadows against the wall, you shouldn't have that. I'm gonna tell you all that, but a lot of them get mad at me and they stop talking to me. They get mad because they say, Well, everybody else telling me is look good, but I'm telling you that they're not your friend because I'm trying to make sure that you look good. And the reason why I want you to look good is because when they say, All right, since you like this movie, here's another movie, and that's my movie down there. Yeah, I don't want them to sit through your movie and vomit and then get to my movie and say, Nah, uh I had one bad movie is enough for me. Right, I don't want that, right? Because if if I can help you, be great. So, me helping another film. Make it be great is not me just being a nice person. I'm doing it because it's beneficial to me. Because if you look good, that means they'll continue, they'll mess with me next. Yeah, because if you look bad, they're not gonna mess with me. And that's me being honest. That's not me being like, you know, I'm the best filmmaker ever. Oh, I'm thinking about me long long term. Because when I look at movies and they say, if you like this, and you are definitely like this, I'm like, my movie not down there nowhere. Right. And I definitely don't want my movie to be up under your movie because I'm from Chicago, you from Chicago, and it's trash. And then they say, if you like this, you were like, Oh, I don't want that, right? You know, anybody that said that the king of Tubi, Queen of Tubi, that's not that that's not that that's not uh uh no, it's not, and that's why a tubi movie breaks those that breaks that barrier down. Like, look, you read the you read the um disclaimer at the beginning, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the disclaimer was like, Man, this and I can tell people about the disclaimer because that's not that's the movie. It's it says if this resembles anything you've done, it's purely coincidental. And if it does, be a better filmmaker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. That's it. Because now it's saying this is all intentional, all the stuff you see here is intentional. Right now, whatever you do in your movie, and that's not intentional to look like this, you need to go back in there and fix it. Yeah, that that's the best thing I can tell anybody.
SPEAKER_10So first of all, when I read that disclaimer, I thought it was funny, but I also thought it was realistic. And I thought it was some shit that it sounded like it sounded like something that like a motherfucker who didn't care about hurting somebody's feelings was set. You see what I'm saying? Like, I don't know. I didn't care.
Landing Damon, Adele, And B. Cole
SPEAKER_08I don't care. In order for me to be better, let me get better. Like, so my first movie was horrible. My first movie was kidnapped, I didn't put it out. I had a whole I got a whole bunch of music that's not licensed in it, but it was bad because I let the actors do what they want to do. And when you when you when you making a movie, you have to direct your actors because it has to be one vision, it can't be everybody else's vision. So it was like everybody had the same script, but it was like it was being directed by somebody different. So I learned from my mistake, and every time I saw something wrong and somebody saw the movie and they told me, like, yeah, if you would have just did this, I would cringe. I'm like, man, I didn't, I know, I already know, I don't want to hear, but I can't tell them that I could just I gotta I gotta smile and and and accept it and understand. So next movie, y'all won't be saying nothing right because when the next movie comes out, what do you have to say? Nothing now. What's crazy about Tubi? Some people don't understand Tubi. Some people don't understand the concept, some people don't understand the jokes. Somebody called me and said, you know, um, I need to ask you a question. I said, What's up? So, what was with that first scene? I said, Did you read the disclaimer? Oh no, I didn't read it. I left it up there long. You I don't know how did you see how long it was up there? It was up there for a while. You could have read it for you could have read it three times. Yeah, but I wanted to make sure people said because you know, usually when something pops up on screen, I see the words, but I'll be thinking about something, and then I try to read and it's gone. So I put it up there and I read it three times, and then after it was three times, that's where I cut it and went into the movie, right? But I wanted people to get a get an understanding of what they were about to experience. So people don't read, that's what I've been told many times. But sorry, but but to be movie, it exemplifies all the stuff that's wrong with bad filmmaking. That's it, that's all. And it's not talking about anybody in general, but it's but it's stuff similar to what people seen on on screen, on social media. It's a meta it's a meta, it's a meta comedy. And I really wanted people to be in the theaters more so watching it on their phones or on their televisions at home because it's something you need to watch with somebody else. It's not something you need to sit up there and I'm by myself laughing out loud. You know, you want to be you you really want to be like, oh, hey, you see that? That's your crack. And you're like, Yeah, you know, y'all bumping elbows and all that because it's funny.
SPEAKER_10And like I said, the first the the first time, like I said, I watched it at work. So I was kind of watching it on the phone, and I was like, oh, that shit's funny. Then that second time I watched it, watched with my girl at the crib. And so it was stuff that was being pointed out. So I was like, damn, especially the dude with the microphone. I'm like, yeah, like like like like the first time I seen a to be movie and that shit happened, I was like, you didn't like nobody, like nobody said shit. Like nobody didn't nobody say, did anybody go back and watch this movie again to be like, hey, nobody sees that?
Networking As An Introvert
SPEAKER_08Did you see the one where the guy he was standing against the wall with somebody and he shot the guy and then he ran off and everybody started running toward him? And then as a as the shot went wide, he falls off in the distance and he hurting himself, rolling on the ground, hurt, and they never cut. That that's in the whole shot. They could have, bro, they could have they could have made they could have went in tighter with the shot. So so you couldn't see that he ran off, and you can see him run off, and he's probably like 50 feet or 75 feet, and he on the ground. Oh and they but uh bravo to the axes and they stayed in character, bro. They stayed in character. They nobody ran, nobody ran. Oh, he's dead. You know, they went to the guy, but it stayed in character. But that happened, and to be movie just it amplifies that is self-aware. That's why people are complaining and saying what so when you watching it and you you'll say that go that this a microphone, and then at the same, you see that microphone right there that make it hit harder because you was like, I was just about to say that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like when Damon was like, Damon was like, you you when you when you first saw pulled out, you was like, Oh, hell no. And then Damon was like, because you thought he was gonna carry on. No, we didn't carry on. We need Damon to point it out so you can understand so he can so you can actually understand what's going on and what's happening, and and and and and Damon just to me, from all the years that I've I've I've watched him do anything, he just has that kind of personality to where it's like it seems very natural, it seems very Chicago-ish, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_10Like, this is a motherfucker from the crib that's that's that's responding to something. Like, hey, when he was like, Hey, so you mean to tell me the whole time we was riding around? We was going to go back to the crib to your crib.
SPEAKER_08Because you know, he's like, Yeah, I gotta go home.
SPEAKER_07And you know, look, what you doing? So you have to go home. Like, what? So we was headed to your house and I was almost at the other place. Right.
SPEAKER_08It's like can't use your wife. Like, I was tripping because I know we weren't almost at the other place, and then you said you just and that's why I asked you that question, man.
Hustle, Taste, And Soap-Opera TV
SPEAKER_10About what does the city need? Does it need more acting coaches, does it need more script script writing coaches? Because like, I don't know, dude. Like me personally, I prefer um I prefer independent films. Um, because I feel like independent films, uh, they're more organic, and I just feel like I get more out of them. You know what I'm saying?
Theater Laughs Vs Phone Watching
SPEAKER_08I'm gonna tell you this uh actor is as good as his director. Okay. Now, if a dire an actor could be the best actor ever, but if he does he or she doesn't have good direction, she looks trash, looks just like trash. Yeah, I know what I know an actor, real good, was in a bad movie. And they asked me, how was it? I was like, ugh, you know, no, that ain't it. That ain't it. And they're like, really? You so my I said, no, it's the it's not your fault. And that was me listening to a Quentino, Quentin Tarantino uh interview, and he said he used to want to be an actor. And then as he watched the actors, and then he watched the behind the scenes, he found out that the actors are not the heroes of the show, it's the director. And I took that to heart because he's correct. Um, matter of fact, with my enemy's son, one of the actors told me he didn't want to deliver. I couldn't remember, I can't remember the line, but he wasn't delivering it right. It didn't sound right. It sounded uh, it didn't sound right. So I changed the line on on the spot and said, say it like this. He said, Well, I kind of like it with what you have in this trip. I said, Yeah, I do too, but you're not saying it right, so we're gonna say it this way. Right. And then he said it, and then after he saw the finished movie, he was like, you know what, you were right. I should have uh I'm I'm glad we went through what I said, yeah, you have to trust the director because you're not him. You're not seeing or hearing what I hear. And if you don't sound right, it's not gonna be right. And it's not like, you know, you you feel like that you know what you're doing, but you don't see what you're doing. The director is the hero. So when you see a bad movie, you can't really blame the actors because the director said, all right, that's a cut, take it. That's a cut, take it. And anybody has been on my set knows two things. I'm gonna get you out of there as soon as soon as we're done, but I will keep you on a shot or in a scene. We'll finish that until we get what I need from you. So if you deliver your lines the best the first time, let's move on. There's plenty of actors like, can we do another take? We'll do another take, but this take I'm taking. Right. This I like this one. But it's been times where I think it the the the I think guy had like four or five lives. He wasn't delivering them right. And it took us two hours to get him to deliver them right. God damn. But I wasn't letting them go until I got what I needed. Yeah, I'm not gonna just be like, all right, well, fine, that's it. Because my reputation is online. And when I what I mean by my reputation, since I'm not studio funded and none of that, people are gonna look at me like, all right, we're gonna pick this apart because he did it. And I don't care, we're gonna pick every, we're gonna look at every little small intricate detail. If you look at Pulp Fiction, you can see a lot of stuff when he plays the scenes over again that I changed that nobody say nothing about. But let me do that in the movie. So I gotta make sure everything is perfect out the door. Right now, the cool thing about Tubi movie is I don't have to with that, but everything else has to be perfect and put together out the door. Because the first thing that somebody sees is wrong, they're gonna be like, oh no. So wild girl got got uh some good gum on her shoe, you know. Anything, any and everything, they will not let anything pass. So so basically, you held responsible for all that. Yes, yes, because when people talk, they're not gonna ask to ask their actor anything, they're gonna talk to me directly and say, Hey, so why'd you do the and here's a this is one thing I always say if somebody says I see what you was trying to do, I ain't do it. Because I you didn't tell me I see what you was trying to do, you saw it. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, you say I I see what I see what he was trying to do, I see what they was trying to get, I see what he was trying to get. No, that means he didn't do it, he didn't succeed. Anytime you you see what somebody's trying to do, they did not succeed. Right the minute, the minute you you see it, and you don't have to say nothing like oh, that was so crazy how how you had Damon did that. I I I nailed it, right? You didn't say you see what I'm trying to do. Now I get it.
Gratitude, Laughter, And Audience Need
SPEAKER_10You get it, all right. Yeah, I get it because it's because it's like instead of somebody saying, I see what you did, they saying, I see what you tried to do. You know what I'm saying? So basically, like nigga, you ain't do it, but exactly, but I see what you was trying to do. Yeah, I get it, I get it.
What’s Next: Pitching “Fluke”
SPEAKER_08Yeah, yeah. So those words mean something. Don't mean a whole lot, but see, a lot of people take it at oh, okay, you got it then. No, no, no. They saw what you was trying to do, and if they saw what you was trying to do, that means you didn't do it. Now, uh, this is what I say to your script thing. Now, this is my formula for all independent filmmakers. Write a script, grab your locations, and grab your actors. And I'm gonna tell you why I say that in that order. Writing a script, you have to have your story and all that together. Your locations, you need to lock those first. Now, the minute you start showing actors your script and saying and they saying they want to be in it, the the first thing they're gonna ask you is when you plan on doing this. And if you don't have any dates cleared, you're gonna screw yourself. Because I'm gonna be like, man, you know, I really want this person to be in my movie. Uh, all right, I got these locations locked. Hey, you still available? Nope. Think, man, things change like the sun. One one minute is out, next minute the clouds are covering. Yeah, you gotta have, you gotta, and you gotta also be more business-oriented because if they're not available, you gotta move on. Oh, I really want this person to be in it. No, just move on. And if they can't do it on that day, at least you know and you can lock somebody else in. Yeah. And it's it, I haven't been following that that um that formula because I work with so many different people that I know are good. I kind of want to, I'm not kind of, I want to work with them again. So I kind of almost work around their schedule. We work not around their schedule, but we figure out a healthy medium where they meet me halfway.
SPEAKER_09Okay.
SPEAKER_08Okay. Because I would hate to tell somebody I really want to work with, like, oh well, next time, you know. Because I mean, I I work with some dope people. Like, people always ask, who in the industry you want to work with? Just Chicago film? Because these people are hungry. They they really they really give you their all. Yeah, and there's no ego behind it. They listen and they they put forth all the effort that you need to get your production done right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_10So that that that makes me I and that makes me curious. So, how did you how were you able to lock down Damon and Adele? Oh, I but they in Sex Ain't Love.
SPEAKER_08They in Sex Ain't Love.
SPEAKER_10Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Scoring, Rights, And Original Music
SPEAKER_08So I met them in 2014. Yeah, I met them in 2014.
SPEAKER_10And just pitched the movie to him on that and well, Damon.
SPEAKER_08I I asked, and he said, No, I asked him, did he know a young up-and-coming comedian? He said he'll do it for Sex Ain't Love. And then uh I met Adele Givens at Columbia while uh Robert Townsend was speaking, and then I got a chance to tell him that I raised money for sex ain't love. And he stood up there for a second and was like, That's the guy y'all should be working with. That's him, and telling a room full of everybody. And then Adele gave me a phone number there. That's how I met Adele. That's what's up, and and B. Cole I met through his another comedian named Marcus Shark.
SPEAKER_10Oh, I know Marcus. Well, I heard I heard of him. I don't know him personally, but I heard of him.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, yeah, that's why that's why I met B. Cole three. So then so like Marcus Shark is in the movie. He played the doctor. Okay, I'm in the smoking jacket.
SPEAKER_10Okay, all right, because sometimes, man, like I know faces, but not names, you know what I'm saying? Um speak to the importance of networking, because sometimes I think that and I don't just want to put this on Chicago. I really don't. However, sometimes I think people don't understand the importance of maintaining positive relationships with people. I'm not saying ass kissing, I'm not saying that. I'm saying just positive relationships with motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying?
How To Submit Music And Rights Pitfalls
SPEAKER_08Like, so I know exactly what you're saying, and it's important. I just started so what's funny, what's funny about you saying that uh before the pandemic hit, I started doing that. I was going to mixers and meeting people and having conversations, getting out of this little bubble I stayed in, because you know, I'm I'm more of uh I'm not I'm not I'm an introvert, I'm not uh I'm not out there like where I want to, hey, what's going on? My name is I'm not I'm not him. So I was going to these mixers, and when I was going through these mixers, I'm meeting people and exchanging phone numbers and learning about them. And now I got this person with the back burner here, this person in the back burner there, then the pandemic hit. But I would, I do, I still try. If I see some, I'll I'll go. I'll go just to, even if I'm not gonna talk to anybody, I'll go just to see who's there and just you know, learn what whatever's being said at that particular time. Uh Magnanimous Media, they have the mixtures sometimes. And um I get a chance to go play with one of their cameras. Oh, one of the new cameras, new Canon cameras that come out, it's 4K or 8K or something like that. So I it's it's always a benefit to going. And you're definitely gonna meet somebody that's that you uh that that you can work with. But in some of my other experiences about those mixers is a lot of people don't feel like they on my level, and they treat me like Blade when I walk through the door. You know, when you you see Blade, it's like everybody like Daywalker, the Daywalker. So I'm walking through, and yeah, and it's like I'm not, I'm I'm cool. I'm I'm not like that. I'm not no arrogant dude. I I'm cool. We can say hey, you know. And there's certain people that say hey to me, but those people are that pretty much up here with me. But the other people that don't say nothing, they just like the daywalker, that's the daywalker, the daywalker. Yeah, I mean, I mean, you you I mean, you working, bro. You working. I mean, it's like I'm bro. I'm hustling. It's not even working, it's hustling because uh my my focus on hustling, you hustle till you ain't got to. Because the people who hustling just to hustle, that's not that's not, that's not it. Don't nobody hustle to hustle. People hustle so you ain't got to. I don't know. I I I gotta disagree with you on that one, bro. I'm sorry, don't know. You're not supposed to. Right. You're supposed to hustle so you don't have to. That part. That part you don't hustle just to hustle. Hustle and just a hustle. You it's like you're in a hamster wheel. I want to run, I want to run the field.
SPEAKER_10But but think about it. How how many how many of us are are on a hamster wheel? You get what I'm saying? Like just, I mean, really, just and to to kind of take it back, to kind of take it back to the movies, think about think think about the movies that we're watching. Think think think about the movies that's entertaining to us. You get what I'm saying? Like, so like sometimes I don't judge motherfuckers at all. I really don't. However, when all when when all motherfuckers want to watch is just straight to be movies, I do kind of think a certain way. You know what I'm saying?
Closing Thanks And Share-The-Link Ask
SPEAKER_08They're not just watching it for that, they're not watching it for the story, they're not watching it for the they watching it to grab that little small little piece off so they can post it on their social media page and talk about it and get a reaction. When you think about the powers, the raising canons, all of them, that's they all black soap operas that's gang-related and drug-related. When you watch them, they soap operas. I never like soap operas ever. My grandma used to watch them, but I never liked soap operas. Yeah, so when you watch those shows, those are soap operas that that has had ass titties and uh gun violence and drugs. That's all it is, that's the difference between that and soap operas. And people say they like that. Oh man, that show, man. I'm like, what? How? Yeah. Oh, so you, but then I say, oh, you like the drama, it's a soap opera. Yeah, that's all it is. Because when you listen to the music, this the score that's in there, the soap opera. It's all that's all it is, a soap opera. And the score is driving the driving you into a feel feeling a certain kind of way, making you say that.
SPEAKER_09You close up for a minute.
DJ Mix Set And Show Close
SPEAKER_10Yo, we're still here at the shit's podcast with my man Will Adams. Uh, we're getting this stuff together, a little bit of technical difficulties right now. Y'all stay tuned with us. Y'all make sure, y'all make sure that y'all check out his film. Make sure y'all know what it is. Two to be movie. Available on Plex. Um, streaming now is fucking hilarious. The movie is motherfucking hilarious. Uh, I got my man Damon Williams in it. Uh Adele Givens, B. Cole, Candace Robbins, Randall Michael, hopefully I'm saying it right. Felina Sanders. Falana Sanders? Falana Sanders, thank you. See, I may have been one of them uh kids that uh had to stay in that classroom, bro.
SPEAKER_08I I would get in trouble if you say her name wrong.
SPEAKER_10Oh thank you. Thank you for correcting me. Real talk. Um so in your opinion, what are and and and not in a bad way, and I'm not saying it in a negative way at all, just on some critiquing. What are some of the current filmmakers not doing enough of in their films, in your opinion? Writing.
SPEAKER_08Okay. And uh some people, well, uh one person, I'm sorry, not actually a couple of people, told me, uh, well, I asked one guy, I said, Who well, who wrote this? Oh no, we kind of like improv. I said you that's not how improv works. Improv does not work that way. So he told me that, and then another guy told me that he was about to have people improv a scene, and I said, Why? Why don't you just write it out? Because he said he wants to spend, he wants to have five cameras shooting this one particular thing. I'm like, bro, you waste the money when you can just write it out, and then they, you know, and you can the camera can just switch from side side to side, shot to shot, so you can get it. So writing is one of the things that then I do a lot of. And if there, I it's another person, a female actor, told me that this one guy doesn't write at all. He just gets to say, all right, I want you to do this, I want you to do that, I want you to do that. And I was like, But you know what?
SPEAKER_10That makes I'm not saying it makes sense. Uh the movies are bad.
SPEAKER_08The movies are bad, and they're good. They're good. If you're gonna Larry David it, you know what I'm saying? If you're gonna Larry David, yeah, curve your enthusiasm. It yeah, I'm not talking about for sure, for sure, but they're not doing that, and it's not that good, and it's all drug related, it's all gang related, it's all uh boyfriend, girlfriend drama related, and it's the same stories over and over and over again, yeah.
SPEAKER_10And and and that's why I said that's why I said it made it to me, I said it makes sense because I've seen it, and like I've I've seen that scene, and I be thinking like you didn't write that, you know what I'm saying? Like, you couldn't have possibly wrote that. They just sound like a motherfucker just came in and they said, Hey, you catch a boyfriend cheating, action, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_08And the cool thing about Tubi movie, I keep saying the cool thing about it was written. All the stuff that you saw was written, no improv. Wait a minute, was it one? I think it's one. No, somebody sex ain't love is improv. One scene of sex ain't love is improv because somebody didn't show up. We but Tubi and the actors let the script do the work. Okay, they let the script do the work, and I I love that because there's so many times somebody said, Okay, well, what if I do this? What if you don't? What if you just what work with because what what I found out when people do stuff like that, the actor they're working with don't know when to jump in. It's a jump rope game, you know, it's a beat. You gotta jump. All right, my turn. And they say their lines like okay, so now they say this one particular they say it this one particular way, but they forgot it. So now when they switch roles and they say it again, they don't remember what they said, they say something completely different. So now the other person like, okay, when I'm jumping, am I gonna jump in? Uh I don't know. Right, we all thrown off. We all thrown off. So Tubian movie was written. It was it was I wrote it in a week because I it's so much it was so much stuff I had so much to draw from because I kept seeing them scroll down and scrolling down on the internet, and then start people. Uh Jamar Messler and Desmond Williams started sending me different clips. I just created from the stuff that they gave me and and stuff that I saw, and I was able to write it in a week. Oh, okay. That's dope. That's dope. I gave I sent it to Adele. Adele was like, I won't even pay sweaty. This shit funny as hell. You know, I'll keep my grandkids, but yeah, I'm I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. She ain't even finished reading the script. She hadn't even read her part yet.
SPEAKER_10It's the the movie, the movie funny as fuck. And it's funny because, like I said at the beginning, it's it's the movie that everybody has wanted to see. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_08Because they don't know they want to see, you gotta say that because they don't know they want to see it, but that's the movie they they don't know they want to see. Yeah, that's the difference. And here's what I need from people to do I need people who see it, not to just share the link, but to share the link with a caveat. Like, you know, this fun movie is dope, or it's funny, or I hate it. Either way, at least you got something above the link because when you scroll and somebody posts a link, you just keep scrolling. Yeah, if they say, Oh, this is funny, you let me see. But the minute they say nothing, you just keep scrolling, you do, and that's what that's what the uh that's what I need from people on social to not just don't tell me. I know how I know the movie good, and that's not me being arrogant, I just know the movie good. Yeah, I need you to tell somebody else and it's so they could experience what you experienced.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, well, I definitely am. I I feel like it's so many, it's so many parts in that movie that's funny as fuck because it's like you know, you look at it and you like you thinking like I've seen this on numerous on numerous to be movies, you know what I'm saying? And somebody finally was like, Nigga, you don't like you don't see that nigga, like none of y'all can see the nigga with the camera right there, you know what I'm saying? Or that ain't even a like you you just shot a motherfucker and no blood coming nowhere, or nothing like that. It's just it's it's crazy.
SPEAKER_08Or and to be mad about it. To be they say, nah, we're gonna pass. I'm like, how y'all you're gonna pass on this, and this has a clear story. It has a so here's the thing about to be movie, it has a storyline, right? Because I didn't want to, I don't want to risk it being like a sketch movie, a movie with sketches in it. I wanted to have a storyline. I wanted to have a now I I might even just say it has everybody was a star of their own story. So Damian was a star of his own story, Falano was a star of her story, Randall was a star of his story. You know, these it's a whole bunch of different stories. They all enter, they they connect later on, but they are the stars of those stories that you see in the movie. Adele's a star of her story. So you gotta look at it from that perspective, and I wanted to make sure that it made sense. So, because somebody once told me that act these that this reminds me of uh Hollywood Shuffle. I said, No, Hollywood Shuffle has sketches throughout the movie. No disrespect to Robert Townsend, but it was a sketch here, sketch there, then story sketch here, sketch there, just out of everything that you saw was part of the movie intentionally, right? So you can get absorbed into it and like, all right, that was funny. It's not gonna be funny next to oh my god, that's funny too. You know, yeah.
SPEAKER_10Well, what has there been a movie that you've seen that has been super influential, not on the way you do your movies, but just super influential and impactful on you, period?
SPEAKER_08Uh Pulp Fiction, the gentleman, snatch, uh, smoking barrel, uh, two lock stock and two smoking barrels. Um, I think more so those movies be well, I I'm not gonna say the gentleman, I just like the story, the way it's written. But uh Snatch and Pulp Fiction, let's go to those two movies. You have everybody, remember I just said in two movies, they're the star of the stars of their own story. And it's how it was right. That's how it was in Pulp Fiction, that's how it was in Snatch. Yeah, you know, even though Jason Statesman was the star of Snatch, but he had a story, Brad Pitt had a story, Turkish had a story, the um the pawn shop guys. Have you ever seen Snatch? Uh I can I was in it on. I ain't gonna lie to you. I kind of felt but the but the pawn shop guys, they had their own story. Yeah, everybody had a story, and it in the minute everything intertwines, you like, oh, that's how they could. That's how that's how that they all connected. So you would do it's like the whole movie, you see every all this other stuff that's going on, and then all of a sudden it smashes together at the end. Kind of like um, I want to say crash. Kind of like how crash crash too, crash to crash too. So I feel like it works better with comedies because with dramas, you get soaked into the sucked into the characters, and then once you drop off from that character, what happened to them? Right talking about something else, and then they what happened to them? And then all of a sudden they crash, like, oh okay, I need to watch this again. That's what happened with dramas. But with comedies, you laughing, and then it pops here, you laughing and you pops here, and then all of a sudden they crash together. Like, oh I yeah, now I understand.
SPEAKER_10Now I get it. Now I get it, yeah. Um, yeah, I kind of feel like those kind of movies to to me, like you really gotta pay attention. You see what I'm saying? Because it it needs something that happens later, and then you like, damn, he gotta do with it. You know what I'm saying? Like, or where he comes from.
SPEAKER_08But you should be paying attention. Yeah, that's the problem. Everybody's watch when they watch movies, they watch their movie like this. With their phone, with their you're right. You are absolutely destroyed. You can't you can't get anybody to put their phone down. You can you can you sometimes when you at home, you probably say, Oh, who in this movie? You know what I'm saying? You do that, or you get a text message, and then as you get in this text message, you didn't miss a major plot hole on TV, yeah. From whatever you're watching. Yeah, and either you either had an option to rewind, or you had an option to just say, Oh, I'll catch you when it comes back on again.
SPEAKER_11Right.
SPEAKER_08But everybody watches the movies with their phone, everything with your phone. So, I mean, maybe I do want people to watch it on their phone because at least I know they can't do nothing else except for watch it. But at the same time, it deserves a bigger screen and just so you can have a better experience. I agree.
SPEAKER_10I agree. Why I I I think you made, I think you made an hilarious, a hilarious film, and I will definitely be spreading the word about it, man. Um, I I like I said, man, I I I commend you just for just for the person that you are and your attention to your craft because I think it's needed. I I really do. I think the shit is needed. I think we need better filmmakers. Um, because you know, what with today's climate, bro, first of all, motherfuckers is stressed out, period. A lot of shit is going on out there. People stress the fuck out, and they need they they need some something to take their edge off. But also, I feel like people need to be educated, and it takes slick people, creative people, to educate motherfuckers and entertain motherfuckers at the same time. You get what I'm saying? So I that's why I think like people like yourself are very, very, very important, especially now, you know.
SPEAKER_08So I appreciate that. And if they watch TV movie, that's definitely take the edge off. Oh, that's that that definitely takes the edge off.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, that's your funny as hell, G.
SPEAKER_08And I and I didn't say I didn't say this before, but I appreciate you watching. I appreciate you watching twice. No problem. Um and and I'm glad you was able to watch it twice because that means you liked it the first time you saw it. So deserve it. And and the thing is hey babe, hey, check this out.
SPEAKER_10She's like, uh spit them spitting the drink out and all that. So and and and I'm probably about to watch it before I go to bed because uh honestly, I don't watch shit but comedies before I go to bed, man, because it I don't know, it shit kind of fucks me up at night sleeping. Like I don't I definitely don't watch scary movies. I used to watch, I used to watch dramas going to bed, but then I feel like it made me think way too much when I was sleeping. So nowadays, I I usually watch comedies before I go to bed. So I'm gonna pop that, I'm gonna pop that motherfucker in tonight, man. Straight up. I I appreciate it.
SPEAKER_08I appreciate it.
SPEAKER_10What's what what what's next?
SPEAKER_08What's next for Will Adams, bro? So we like I said, Fluke. I'm pitching fluke. Um fluke is a show about an out-of-work actor that's he fails upward. So to give you to give you a better understanding of Fluke, Fluke is basically like Atlanta and um curb your enthusiasm had a bird, a baby. And fluke is the um the child. Okay. I should have I should have sent you an episode. I should have sent you an episode. I'm gonna send, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna email you an episode. Because I like I say I've been I've been pitched, it's we got three concept episodes already shot, and we just shopping it right now and trying to get somebody to actually listen to our demo. So um I got well, Buffalo 8 is my distributor, and they're they got their hand out, but I'm trying to find out who else got their hand out. Because they because when the guy from Buffalo 8 saw it, he was like, Oh, so what are you planning on doing with it? And I was like, hold on, hold on, let's finish with Tubi movie first. Let's do this to be movie first thing, and then you know, we're gonna circle back on Fluke. But Fluke, uh Randall Michaels, and he's a star of Fluke, Falana Sanders is in fluke, and then um Octavius Tidwell, he's in fluke because also those are three main characters, but it revolves around him. His uh Falana Sanders plays uh Randall Michaels' sister, and uh uh uh Octavius plays Michael, Randall Michael's best friend. And he, like I said, he fails upward because I don't I don't want to do the through his company like you know uh Jack Tripper always saying, I'm about to be a chef, then all of a sudden you can't be a chef. I'm not I I I want him to fail upward. I want him to continue to progress, even if the show goes off the air. At least he goes out off the air on top. Yeah.
SPEAKER_10Okay. So how are you finding, well, how how do you get them, how do you get the music for your for your movies? And so just I'm glad you said that.
SPEAKER_08I'm glad you said that because I've been trying to remember to say it, and I can't I kept trying to figure out a place. DJ Inc. DJ Inc., he creates all the scores, he's dope. Matter of fact, um the uh bridges over. Oh I I I I contacted uh Kenny Parker. I said, hey, who has the rights to Bridges Over? I don't know who had the rights to that. So I'm looking online, it ain't it's nowhere. And then I found out that uh Karas One got his record deal after that album, and I think that one was straight out the Trump. I think they did it probably uh um what do you call that? Poor man's copyright. Okay, you know, nail itself a copy or whatever, not open itself. Yeah, yeah. But so DJ Inc. recreated that track. He's like, I love that. I said, Man, do your thing. And he just recreated because I I wanted it to open like so you remember in Pulp Fiction, how it opened, and then all that stuff happened, and then they played the credits. I wanted mine to open just like that. Okay. So you see you see Tubing movie fill the screen up, and then it go up as it's going, as it's um going into the distance, you see all every all the actors' names pop over the title, and then the the uh co-stars, they ride up, and then you know, I I wanted it to do the same thing that they did um pole fishing.
SPEAKER_10Okay, some people called it. How like so just say if just say if you have um if well up-and-coming artists and they want to submit music, do they should they send it to uh say his name again? DJ Inc. DJ Inc. should can they send it to DJ Inc. or what?
SPEAKER_08They should, but the but here's the thing. Um it's that's kind of hard because say, for instance, their music is with Ask Cap or BMI or what have you, and now it gets kind of sticky where now I have to have permission from them and their label. You understand what I'm saying? So if I gotta have permission, they say, okay, cool, you can do it. And then what about your label? Oh, well, you know, and then the label says, Oh, yeah, you can do it, and then the movie does whatever it does. It's like, and it's like, oh, hold on, we didn't say you could do it, now I gotta put a movie down, right?
SPEAKER_09Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_08So that's how it gets sticky. Like uh, I I for sex ain't love, it's a lot of artists on there. I want to create a soundtrack because I felt like, man, you know, people were asking about the music that was in the movie in the movie of Sex Ain't Love. But nobody, I I can't do it. I'm a filmmaker, I'm not a music producer, right? So cool.
SPEAKER_10Well, yeah, I mean, like uh I I send you an email, man, and and we'll talk about that. Um got it.
