It doesn’t end well for everyone, but Stacy Peralta, one of the young skaters featured, goes on to become a successful skate entrepreneur and eventually a filmmaker — in fact, he directed this film about his childhood and friends.mori sushi menu alexandria Burden of Dreams is a behind the scenes look at the agonizingly difficult production of Werner Herzog’s masterpiece, Fitzcarraldo. sushi go round east tamakiIn order to get the film made, he staked his life and the lives of others to accomplish the impossible. This quote from Werner Herzog best exemplifies the spirit of perseverance he has brought to his career. This way of thinking applies equally to starting your own business as it does to making films. “Perseverance has kept me going over the years. Things rarely happen overnight.

Filmmakers should be prepared for many years of hard work. The sheer toil can be healthy and exhilarating. Although for many years I lived hand to mouth — sometimes in semi-poverty — I have lived like a rich man ever since I started making films. Throughout my life I have been able to do what I truly love, which is more valuable than any cash you could throw at me. At a time when friends were establishing themselves by getting university degrees, going into business, building careers and buying houses, I was making films, investing everything back into my work. Money lost, film gained.” The World's Best Newsletter for Small Business Owners Small business guides, news updates, profiles and more.Now on Netflix is The Lazarus Effect, an uneven modern-day Frankenstein tale starring Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass as scientists plagued by violent karma after a botched attempt at trying to play God. Awkwardly off balance, the sci-fi horror flick stars a thrown-together supporting cast of Evan Peters and Donald Glover, who repeatedly struggle with making mediocre dialogue, well, not so mediocre.

Directed by David Gelb, who normally dabbles in the likes of mouth-watering documentaries Jiro Dreams of Sushi and Chef’s Table, the flick feels as if it’s in the hands of someone who would rather park his camera to examine the delectable details in a world-class restaurant than a makeshift morgue. Without beating a dead horse here, The Lazarus Effect is by no means a must-watch movie, but that doesn’t make it unimportant. Furthermore, it speaks to the tireless efforts of Mark Duplass, who, when not starring as Pete in fantasy football comedy The League or midwife Brendan in The Mindy Project, is writing and directing his own HBO show Togetherness alongside his older brother, Jay (Transparent), and giving aspiring filmmakers tough-love in a keynote speech at Austin’s South by Southwest when he’s not hopping on as producer and star of any and every mid-budget film being churned out in Indiewood. Critic David Ehrlich recently penned an extensive (and fascinating) analysis crediting A24 Films with single-handedly reviving a dying film industry, currently clogged with pricey superhero sequels and nostalgia-reliant remakes.

A bold claim, for sure, but certainly not complete hyperbole; the artsy, social media-savvy distributor has, according to Erhlich, become an “auteur” of sorts by acquiring modest, mid-budget films hovering between $1 million to $20 million while targeting clearly defined markets that typically consume movies through VOD services like iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, and more. Yet, while A24 is reigniting the same excitement for film’s middle class as Miramax did circa 1994, there are still living, breathing, tireless independent crusaders like the Duplasses pushing inventive passion projects to screen as quickly as humanly possible. Founders of the aptly named Duplass Brothers Productions, the duo has backed nearly ten projects just in the last year — ranging from feel-good indies like Adult Beginners to swinger romps like The Overnight — plus a web series and two TV shows (plus their slew of separate acting gigs) in between. What makes their influence unique, however, is that they rarely venture outside the realm of the small screen.

OK, to be fair, just because I’ve seen everything the duo has done (I mean, I even rented Tammy just to see Mark briefly grace the screen. It was worth it?) doesn’t mean they’re household names. They are, however, controlling most of what you watch and discuss in your household. Every film they back or star in (or both) — supernatural romances Safety Not Guaranteed and The One I Love, love triangle dramedy Your Sister’s Sister, or the Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader black comedy The Skeleton Twins, for example — carry with them a “night-in” feel. Chances are, if you’ve heard or seen anything with the Duplass touch, it’s been while scrolling through Netflix rather than sitting in a $14-dollar theater seat. After partnering with Netflix back in the company’s Red Envelope days, the streaming service has (in addition to getting the brothers to produce four exclusive original films just for them) recently acquired Patrick Brice’s horror comedy Creep, Hannah Fidell’s turbulent romance 6 Years, and J. Davis’ Manson Family Vacation, which is scheduled to premiere October 27. 

The Duplasses also inked a deal with budding distributor The Orchard to produce seven films, one of which they’ve been relentlessly campaigning for this year’s Oscar race. That little film is Sean Baker’s Tangerine. Oh, you’ve never seen it? Well, I’ll bet you heard it was shot on an iPhone before you heard anything about the tour-de-force performances from its transgender stars or its wholly unique plot, which are honestly just as groundbreaking. It’s not that the brothers are cinematic geniuses or a prestigious filmmaking pair like the Coen Brothers. And the relatable nature of their coined “mumblecore” dialogue doesn’t necessarily make them profound. But as someone who grew up dissecting the likes of indie renaissance heroes turned mainstream moviemakers like Richard Linklater and Quentin Tarantino, as one of many who are deeply (deeply) in debt from earning a Bachelor’s in film and TV, and as a woman watching this feminist wildfire spread across Hollywood criticizing the studios’ sexist structure, the Duplass Brothers and their mission to give young

, passionate talent a chance are nothing short of a beacon of hope — one that inspires an aspiring filmmaker to get the hell off her ass, stop talking the talk, and start making her own work. An intimate Wired interview with the duo revealed that, while the ability to continuously create and mentor young directors is a dream come true for them both, paying it forward also takes an emotional and physical toll. Though they acknowledged the ever-present aches, pains, and worry of working themselves into an early grave, it seems the real trouble lies in narrowing down all the pitches being hurled toward them — weeding out the good from the great and the great from the brilliant is what they seem most concerned about. Yet, as a perpetual consumer and avid streamer, it’s exciting to wait and see what Mark and Jay Duplass will do next. Because, at this point, it’s difficult to deny that their madness is contagious.
