[film reel]
00:02
- Final set.
00:03
And action!
00:05
[laughs]
00:07
I make movies because I can't not.
00:09
I make movies because if I didn't,
00:11
what would I be?
00:13
A fraction of myself.
00:14
Hey, I'm David Axe.
00:15
I wrote and directed this thing you're about to see
00:17
called "Acorn."
00:18
Mostly, it's about making a movie
00:21
and the kinds of people who make movies,
00:24
why they do it,
00:25
and whether they care, whether they fail.
00:27
- "Acorn" is about a young female filmmaker.
00:30
She, unfortunately, gets a cancer diagnosis,
00:33
and she decides that she's gonna use those six months
00:37
and make one last movie.
00:39
- Because we are drunken fools,
00:41
I just said, thought, figured,
00:43
"Why not write 'Die Standing Up 2'?
00:46
How hard could it be?
00:47
We'll just shoot 'em both."
00:49
So we did.
00:51
In three weeks, we made two movies.
00:53
Oh, God.
00:54
[laughs]
00:55
[upbeat music]
00:59
- Rumination, here it comes.
01:02
- Oh, my God.
01:03
A lot of people have an idealized version
01:06
of what making a movie is.
01:08
- I thought I had access to a new Old West set.
01:12
- By the time we got back to starting production,
01:15
Old Warrenton had been shut down,
01:17
and a guy got shot.
01:19
David was in a great dilemma.
01:21
- It was insane.
01:22
I come emerging out of our hair and makeup tent
01:25
with a sweaty wad of penciled-in script pages.
01:29
- I just got so in my head.
01:31
The horse blinders that I've had on
01:33
just completely went away.
01:35
I called my family that night, and I was like,
01:37
"I've spent all this time doing this,
01:39
and I'm gonna go home and quit
01:41
and just leave this all behind."
01:43
That was a really hard thing for me to think about,
01:45
because it's all I've ever really wanted to do--
01:48
perform and create.
01:50
- Most micro-budget indie productions fail.
01:53
They collapse. People quit.
01:55
I will always finish my movies, even if they're terrible.
01:58
- Nobody goes into independent filmmaking
02:00
trying to be rich.
02:02
- When you create something
02:04
for the sheer joy of creating,
02:08
that's art.
02:09
- It makes life worth living,
02:11
having a creative outlet.
02:12
- I am absurdly, ludicrously dedicated
02:16
to the bad idea of starting nowhere
02:19
and making a good movie.
02:21
