For the past few months we have been getting emails from a guy calling himself
"Commander Rob". He's a well-meaning guy that really wanted to make a movie starring
himself. Unfortunately, even though we are in the movie business, it doesn't mean that
we can make movies and the Commander didn't seem to understand that. After some relentless
bugging we finally made him his movie. Here's some of the emails that Rob has sent to us:
----------------------- To whom it may concern, My name is Rob. I want to make a movie. I hear you guys are into making movies and I need your help. I have written many many scripts and don't know how to turn them into movies. Can you please help me? Here's some of my web pages: http://www.myspace.com/RobCommander http://commanderriker.bravehost.com/ Thanks, Rob. P.S. Please find attached a really cool script that I wrote a few weeks ago. ----------------------- To whom it may concern again, Sorry I forgot to attach the script. Here it is LOL Rob By the way, here's the script: Shore Leave. This shows the "quality" of work that we were receiving. ----------------------- Dear Rob, Thank you for your very entertaining script, it was very....interesting. I especially like the part about the "laser man". I appreciate that you would want to get such a fantastic masterpiece turned into a true film. However, my friend and I only work in a CG studio as programmers, and in fact, have no input into what type of films get made. Our parent company in L.A. solicites scripts and provides us with content to manufacture. In fact we don't even do any of the rendering, most of our work entails working in C++ creating plugins to assist with the rendering process. Perhaps someone else would be better able to assist you with your movie making aspirations. Good Luck Jesse ----------------------- Dear Jesse, Thank you for your quick response. I was thinking that a cool phaser effect might add a lot. On of my internet friends was showing me a website that showed how to do it. It doesn't look too hard. Let me know what you think. (I have also attached and even more awesome script!!!) Glad to hear you liked the script, let me know when we can get started. Rob ----------------------- Dear Rob, Once again, a very compelling story. One that I am sure a real producer or director might be interested in. Again, I am only a programmer and nothing to do with selecting which movies get made. I should caution you that any work you send to us is considered to be our sole property, so if you are interested in maintaining the rights to your very unique storylines you should consider going through some sort of writing agency or something. I don't really know, as I have mentioned before, I am really only a programmer. Good luck getting this made. Jesse ----------------------- Jesse, Hey! I didn't get to check my email for a long time. I figured I must have missed your call. I'm at the library now getting some totally awesome books about making movies and special effects. I'm going to get a card for the photocopier and make copies of all the cool stuff. Also, I think I wrote the best script ever!! LOL See attached. Rob ----------------------- Hey Rob, I was getting worried when I didn't hear back from you. I was beginning to think you had lost my email address, and continuing to wonder how you got it in the first place. I don't know why you are continuing to send me scripts, though I must say I was beginning to miss the steady stream of attachments. I don't think you realize that you are relinquishing ownership of all of the scripts by sending them to my work account. If that is not your intention you should really stop sending me scripts altogether. Jesse ----------------------- Jesse, I really can't wait to see these script on the big screen! I have even contacted William Shatner about his support (he's my #1 friend on myspace). So when do you want to get started? Rob ----------------------- Dear Commander Rob, I have been privileged to review many of your previous emails to my co-worker Jesse. In fact these mails were partly responsible for the change in his email address and our newly adopted policy of not posting staff email addresses to the website. I am impressed that you managed to find my address since it has been removed, but I imagine that you were quite compelled to find a new address considering Jesse's old one is no longer active. Your scripts are now property of And the emails keep coming in... |
