Pink8 Manifesto

• Film school is poison.
• Look for street superstars to be your cast.
• Your film must be made on no budget, just sporadic money.
• The director must raise "get-by" money by finding a job that challenges their ethics.
• The director must have a main character role in the film.
• Short films are NOT acceptable, it MUST be a feature.
• The cast must NOT know what your film is about.
• Filming must be done without any preparation or a traditional script.
• Your film must be 95% improvised.
• Special lighting is not acceptable.
• No HD Cameras
• No 3D
• No Green Screen
• The director must edit the film alone.
• Mistakes are beautiful.
• Continuity is wrong.
• Bewildering, vague, self-indulgent, plot-less, risky, egotistical, limpid, raw, ugly, and imperfect are perfect.
• Technical film experience is inessential.
• Answer to one person only—yourself.
