CrasH & The Fury's Frequently Asked Questions |

Redfury Entertainment Loading Screen Productions |
Q: Who are you? A: Who are you? In all seriousness, we're CrasH and The Fury, two of the greatest filmmakers never to be seen. We're best friends since college who figured out that making movies was a really good way to hit on girls.
A: Yes. And the fact that we really do like
filmmaking. And girls. Girls are attractive and fun to play
with. OOoooooooo K. Moving on. What's it like being award winning filmmakers, winning your first festival, right out the gate? A: It was, in all seriousness, unbelievable.
Check out the LSP News page for more. After two years of
filmmaking, with varying degrees of success, we finally decided to enter
our first film festival. To come in second place out of 60+ films
and over 100 teams, at our first festival ever, was just, awesome.
It made the past two years so worth it. Seriously, check the LSP
News page for more. A: Watch the video.
A: Oh. You want to know where the title came from and why it's spelled that way.
A: That's not a question.
A: Those who worked on the project know. Those who didn't don't. Company secret. If you sign up to work with us, then you might learn more company secrets.
A: They can and they are. Kinda makes you feel
better about your own life, doesn't it? A: Sorry. Ask away.
A: Nowhere. Seriously. We never went to film school. We didn't really start reading any books until we'd already started on our first one. We learned by trial and error...many trials and many, many errors. We knew it couldn't be that hard. Filmmaking as a whole is tough, because it's made up of a bunch of little things. Each of the the little things isn't that hard. And whenever we came across one we didn't know how to do (like use a particular piece of software to edit or properly format a script), that's when we read a book or figured it out on our own. And that's what we encourage you to do. Make a movie. Learn by doing.
A: Since CrasH is the religion major, I'm gonna let him
take this one.
A: Ok, well, several years ago, we started the first college dodgeball league in the world. And CrasH had the idea to make a movie about it. After all, dodgeball was inspired heavily by the pageantry in pro-wrestling, so making a fictional account into a movie that resembled a pro-wrestling history package just before a title match seemed appropriate. After that, we had more ideas and made those into films too.
A: Not really. We each own our own. CrasH runs Loading Screen Productions and I [The Fury] run Red Fury Entertainment. This allows us each to be in charge, yet still team up on the bigger projects. As I said on my home page, we're not joined at the hip; it's just fun to work with friends.
A: Uhh, because we're special. We enjoy what we do. We're happy. Even when we're frustrated about how CAFRoughed up something we're working on is, we're still happy. Happiness and enjoyment of what we do breeds confidence, and confidence is attractive.
A: Well, we still have a feature in production at the moment, plus another one to do after this one is released. After that, who knows? Maybe a short film or two. Maybe a feature or few. Maybe nothing more.
A: Well, now, we didn't say that. What we're saying is that entering the first one was kind of a spur of the moment decision. We're not actively seeking other festivals to enter, but we're not ruling it out. We're just not really thinking about it.
A: If it is, then we may not
be what you'd consider a filmmaker. We make films for the love of
making films. We don't make films to win festivals. But when
we enter a festival, we put in our best, like we do on every project.
If the judges like our work enough to give it an award, so be it.
If not, what do they know? When "Disputed" was finished and
released in 2003, I [CrasH] said something that I still stand by--"If I
could just make one film every year or two, gather the cast and crew and
my family and friends together to watch it at my house, with drinks and
snacks and such, and that's the biggest showings we ever get, I'd be
happy."
