BREAKING:
Since October, Matt Farley has been quietly working on his first directorial effort since 2013.
LOCAL LEGENDS: BLOODBATH! is expected to be released in late 2024.
It is virtually impossible for a homemade movie to reach a 4.1 rating under the current Letterboxd system.
But LOCAL LEGENDS (2013) did it.
Because it’s that good!!
Great news:
You can shoot a movie in your garage, in your living room, in your friend's kitchen, in the nearby woods, in your aunt's driveway...and it could become someone's favorite movie!!!!
Journalist Will Sloan included Local Legends (2013) among the 10 best movies EVER.
And you’ve probably never seen it!
Enough already!!
Watch it this weekend!!!
LOCAL LEGENDS (2013) is available FREE on YouTube from now until the world premiere of LOCAL LEGENDS: BLOODBATH! on September 4th.

Around the world, children are getting their first Spotify accounts for Christmas, which means they are just moments away from this inevitable discovery.
Life is passing you by!!
You must start your movie script THIS WEEK!
You must finish writing by April!
Start shooting in May!!
Finished product due August of 2025.
EVIL PUDDLE comes to Vimeo on 10/31!
Between now and then, there's still time to convince your local cinema to hold a screening. Get out there and see what you can do!
The goal was to make 10 movies in 5 years.
We set the goal very high so even if we didn't reach it, we'd still be very productive.
We will end up with 7 movies in 5 years, which is way more than we would have put out if we hadn't set that crazy goal!

Artists that Matt Farley has been listening to a lot lately:
-Thelonious Monk
-Vigilantes of Love
-Paul Westerberg
-Joni Mitchell
-Jesse Harris
-Johnny Hartman
The @Criterion Channel needs to host a @moternmedia Retrospective: They've made 12 feature films, played no festivals, and slowly amassed an army of thousands of fans. AND IT WOULD BE THE ONLY FILMS THAT FEATURE THE STAR/CO-WRITERS REAL PHONE NUMBER. You can call him.
FINISH YOUR CREATIVE PROJECT!
No matter how bad you think it is.
Just finish it—and put it out into the world. Even if it’s embarrassing.
Then you’ll be in the habit of completing projects, which will be helpful when you find yourself working on a good one!

I have no connection to the kid! I just found the article during one of my regular Google Vanity Searches.
It's pretty well written! The kid has promise!
LIFE IS PASSING YOU BY, AND YOU HAVEN’T YET MADE A MOVIE!!
Get to work:
Write a script between now and February.
Shoot it on weekends from March through June, editing as you go.
Finish up over the summer.
Rent a hall and premiere it in September.
REPEAT
For this weekend only:
