Re: [lojban] Re: any news on the movie?

I wonder if we shouldn't try looking for a different director, perhaps--if there are two so far who are very willing to allow Lojban dubs of their films, perhaps there are many. It's just that I worry people will develop negative mental associations with Lojban if they see it juxtaposed with massacres and cruelty.

Our local Lojban group members and I have been in touch with a local
amateur film maker. He is eager for us to translate his films. The
most likely candidate is a short film called "True Extremes", about an
amateur film maker who snaps under adversity, travels to Hollywood,
and goes on a very cold and philosophical killing spree among those
who harmed him, which he films to make a point.

Here is the script: http://www.nemorathwald.com/TrueExtremes.htm

After the comments, names, direction, and other non-spoken text is
removed, there are six thousand, five hundred spoken words. This is a
do-able chunk of work, especially if the online community joins in. I
have read several of his scripts, and unfortunately he does not make
any films that do not have massacres in them.
