Big-Time Filmmaker


Ladies and Gentlemen,
Even giants like oneself condescend to potboiler projects to pick up a little change. I conceived, for example, feature-length Bond-style spy thriller And Then You Die as a series of phone-friendly episodes to milk the cow at TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.
But Grok Imagine stopped me just as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was being kidnapped. Thou Shalt Not Use A Famous Face! I consulted other services and got the same result.
How can I make this without famous faces? I shall meditate.
Be well, kids.
Your servant, always,
B.

Robert MacLean is a bad poet and an independent filmmaker. His The Light Touch is on Amazon PrimeTubiScanbox, and YouTube, and his 7-minute comedy is an out-loud laugh. He is also a screamingly funny novelist, a playwright, a blogger, a YouTuber, a reviewer of films, a literary critic, and a stand-up comic poet. Born Toronto, PhD McGill, taught at Canadian universities, too cold, live Greece, Irish citizen. Committed to making movies that don't matter. No brains, but an intellectual snob.

I was beastly but never coarse. A high-class sort of heel.
