From me and the guys at KickMe Studios, this is a movie trailer for what a gritty reboot of the children’s learning program Blue’s Blues would look like. We’re kids 1-2 years into college and we did this without a real budget.
It’s the first Tuesday of the month! If you haven’t used your recommendation for this week, please consider recommending this blog for the Filmmakers directory.

I have such an immense amount of respect for filmmakers.
I’m not talking about the ones who have tons and tons of money and can pay for other people to do everything that they can’t do. I’m talking about the filmmakers who put their blood, sweat, and tears into every production they make. The ones that can’t afford to pay someone to do lighting for them, and have to put that much extra work into their film in order to handle it themselves, or hunt down someone who will do it well for free.
Think of the last time you went and saw a really good movie in theaters. I’d be willing to bet that while you were sitting in that seat and snacking on your popcorn, you weren’t thinking a whole lot about how long it took for the film to be created, or the concepts behind the outfit the main character was wearing. No, for those 2 hours you were in that theater, you were probably completely lost in the story of the film you were watching, and that’s completely okay. In fact that’s good. That means the filmmaker was successful in his mission to make an enjoyable film for you to escape into.
I am incredibly (obsessively, even) fascinated with the process of achieving that successful film. A filmmaker takes a mold of what he wants in his movie and quite literally pours all of his time, money, and passion into his project.
Your favorite movie was likely created by a crew of passionate, artistic people over the course of 2+ long, busy years in order for you and your friends to enjoy it for a measly hour and a half.
A similar analogy would be to imagine an artist who spends 200+ hours on an incredibly intricate sculpture so that someone can walk through an art gallery and view it for 45 seconds before moving onto the next piece.
The best part of it is that for most filmmakers, that’s enough. There’s such a long struggle that goes into making a great movie, and for most people, it would be incredibly hard to maintain a career like that. But the many that seem to make it, make it because of one extravagantly important element that they all possess:
Passion.
