the retirement 2010 a short film by joseph

The retirement
a short film by Joseph Taylor
the story of a bureaucrat who own cynicism leads him to a sea of red tape






so i wrote this in a appeal to veiw my film
yah see i have no money to submit my films
so i beg the so called judges to view my film based on its merit not on my pocket book
anywya i sent this letter along with all my dvd copys


My name is joseph taylor

im a struggling filmaker

i worked for 2 years saving up 10,00$ to fund and create this film.
i sacrificed a lot to make this film, and

all my films really. now as a artist i tried very hard

to make in my opinon a decent film of my own script and time

with limited resources and time in between my job. in effect im asking you

to please take a look at my film "the retirement" and the xtra short collage peices

i have also attacthed.
me like the rest of the country is going through some
economic hard times .
my whole life i was told im no good and will amount to nothing.
it took me a while to decide to become a
film maker it took me even longer to decide to give my self a chance.

i worked really hard following my heart and my dreams to make films in my own vision
in my own way.

i am askign you to take a chance with me
and im also asking for your help to help me as a strugglign artist and a devoted
film maker to help me make somehting better of my self.
and so i offer you this proposition
if you take a look at my films and decide they are worthy of your festival
than i will gladley pay the submission fee. but i can't in good conscious
pay 60$ to somebody who will just toss my dvd in a trash bin .you see i do
not know for sure if they
are even bothering to even watch it. so all i ask is a little commuication

and a little feedback.
i will be happy to pay a submisison fee after you
take a look at my little films and tell me what you think.
talk to me, give me feedback, respect, and some time.
I know this is unorthadox ,but take this for example
does a painter approch a gallery and have to pay the
gallery owner 80$ to look at the art before they even get a response?
does a garage band approch a club and have the club
owner tell them to pay the club owner 80$ to play in said club?
why as film makers who spend all their money on making a film and are left broke why
are they diffrent . I understand the desire for the film fest to pay its fees also but
maybe we both can benifit this way instead of just one of us .


i ask you to judge me on the merits fo my experimental film AND NOT
on if i can pay the sub fee. Is this just to much to ask?
like i said i will absolutley pay
when i know you are giving me a chance. and maybe also
we will both make a new freind.

-your new freind joseph taylor

beyong tiny stautes of dead elvis statues she had

WIGS

SHE WAS ALSO SELLING ICE FOR YOUR GRILLS.

PATRIOTIC ICE FOR YOUR MOUTH

WHATS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THE SWAP MEET ? AND WHATS THE SWAP MEET WITH OUT PLASTIC BOXES FULL OF

MCDONALDS TOYS THAT NO KID WILL EVER BUY

BUT ALSO TRANSFORMER RIP OFF TOYS IN BAD ENGLISH.. IM NOT ONE TO TALK ABOUT GRAMMR THOUGH

THE MOST POWERFUL SUPER COMBINED IN HISTORY. FORMER SUBDUNG EVIL'S DIMOND

OR BOXES OF OLD VHS TAPES AND NEON GREEN 80S POKER VISORS AND OTHER ASSORTED JUNK IS DECOMPOSING BOXES

MORE JUNK

WHO DOES NTO LIEK UNTANGLE WIRES? I MEAN I HATE TO UNTANGLE WIRES. AT THE SWAPMEET YOU CAN FIND HUNDREDS OF BOXS OF TANGLED WIRES

A SHOP RUN BY VIETNAMESE PEOPLE SELLING LIKENESS OF FIRST NATIONS .. MADE IN CHINA

THE ACCUMULATED JUNK OF THESE PEOPLES LIVES .. LAYS IN SAD PILES IN FRONT OF THE DESPERATE FACES

My review of the Swap Meet

ahh yes the swap meet in tacoma a place i grew up in i watched it go form a place where rednecks sold confederate flags and pow mia flags to now where they sell confederate flags and pow mia flags. a lots changed from the 80s .

but in all honesty it has changed a bit less veitnamese people and more mexicans but still its a fun eye feast of piles of junk..

>

i found one guy sellign items form a storage unit somone could not pay their rent on.. now its contents strwed in the parking lto of the swamp meet

all items in this box 1.00$ its fillld with with dead spiders and alredy colored coloring books

and yet another box full of komo tv ice scrapers.. (komo tv isa local shitty news channel )

this was jsut box one of thousands of these things...

wtf were they for? i mean who has that many ice scrapers made ?, weird .

my favorite was the boxs of old used medical instruments.. most of them really rusty..

nothing like old rusty medical equimpment 1.00$ each. should have seen the look on their faces when i bought some of it.

but all the piles of weird junk was nto as interestign as i thought it would be

actully the stuff inside the swap meet was better. some really weird (handcrafted) items form a chiniese factory were pretty interested. like who the hell would find this thign cute.?

lip stick on a pig? and high heels ... ok ...

i love army toys i dont know why i jsut always have. heres one i found really interesting

TRoops.. i have no idea why the TR is capitalized.

i like his italian flag.

but i guess being italian makes you lack a sense of propourtions

i mean look at the size of his gun as relatize to his hand?

also his raft.. my god hed look like 30 lb man sittign ina kiddie pool in that thing..

i mean he would ride that raft like a skateboard...

actully he just sink..

i found so many statues of jesus it was a little insane.. all made in china..

the kingdom of heavin is yours for 25.99

one guy was selling tons and tons of mexican wrestlign masks

i dont know why or what for. or why he thought tacoma wasa good place ot unloada

truck load of luchadore masks

one old korean woman was selling really tiny statues

some were soemthign liek skulls others were mice dressed as pimps really bizzare stuff

like little mice dressed as tony montana. and 1970s pimps

they were so dam tiny i had a hard tiem taking their picture before she began to yell at me

MY REVIEW OF THE DOLLOR STORE

yea the dollar store a place every poor kid dreads and a place every batchleor thanks god about
i thought i would go to my local dollar store a place i dread. a place of cheap toys cheap food.
the food is probably made up form the ground up toys no one bought.
i wanted to go in and take a review of the food and toys and kinda show this weird sie of american consumerism. al lthe cheap chines junk and really low quaility food also made in china with genric lables and no attempt at all to make it look appitising . a sad place a place that is the battle ground american class and economic warfare. likea world war one battlefeild .
we enter the


well almost eveyrthigns a dollor.. although i could nto find one thign that was not over a dollor.
the first section i entered in going clock wise was the toy section
the toy section was pretty sad mostly comprisign of cheap chinese gi joe rip offs. but looking like someone who has not ever really seen a gi joe in the first place made it form a discription .

"speical mission"
whats the mission to uncross his eyes and fix his broken nose?
and hte fat under his chin that layer of hanging flesh curtan
looks like he jsut had gastro bypass .
well his comrades came home in a plastic body bag it seems the special mission was a failure

the distant state of gulf war syndrome (PTSD)

I SEEN SOME THINGS MAN
the real war this guysa a product of is the war in globlization of china.
as i turn to go down the next isle i found the junk nick nak isle. a place where any low income famly can re decorate their house with these wonderful artiststic sculptures
they really give a sense of class and style. and if by style you mean visualy tourturing.

wtf is this supposed to be anyway?.
he looks like hes slowly melting.

i honetly had to leave that area it made me sick.
so wich brings us to food.

yah 1,00 mac and cheese. sunshine harvest. fake powdered processed cheese and noodles made form shredded up newspapaer pulp. wel lthats what it tasted like.
i bought some soup with it

thank you brand soup.... no thank you

the premire loney poor working class person meal, a bowl of ramen noodles

now have you ever eaten a food that says "simulated flavor"?
wtf does that mean simulated flavor is thatl ike artifical flavor?
well if its trying to simulate the taste of bus stop bench it worked, but it says "beef" ill have to inform them of this mistake.

but nothing beats a pound of fig bars. "daddy rays" generic disgusting fig bars. eat three of these and your instantly dehydrated and chokeing running for somehting to drink
i swear these have sand in them, how the hell can they be so fuckign dry.
they taste ok though not to bad.


now for the dvd reviews
sorry for the pictures the dvds are coveredi n celophane tons of it i dont know why.
note i have no bought these i could not brign my self to pay 1$ for them they jsut odnt seem worht it and apperently noone elese does look at this shit what kid would want to watch it

"scruff first tiem on DVD" and prolly its last time. if it made it to the the purgatory that is the dollor store its over for scruff he got put down .( i mean he moved to a nice family out in the country)
sky surfver strike force..
mountian of fear.... the mountian of fear is prolly what the investors felt when this when stright to the dollor stroe 1$ bin.
Westward HO is a video i did see itsa racist peice of shit video about the glory and wonder and ritches the europeans brought to america., it was a kid sing along with singing indians and spanish conquistadors. falling in love the top says "classic fables"
yeah thats about right.. whats next a holocuast sing along with the title classic fables.

also little bear wakes up early.. so i know what happened here. no kid wants to wake up early and no kid wants to watchign a fucking movie about waking up early . i mena come on. as i kid i hated to wake up early
so no one bought it right to the 1$ bin
yah ok the lighting and moutian of celophnae makes this hard to see but let me help ya
the one on the irght says "christ" but it looks like it says christi from where the sticker is placed.
like when i saw it i thought it was about osme woman named christi. but no its about christ.



and the other is about fishing for albacore. and apperently as seen on CBS. i dont know who saw this on CBS when was the last time you saw fishing on prime time TV. ? must have been like on at 4:00 on asunday morning nothign i like mroe than over 2 hours of fat rednecks in a small boat farting and feeling superiour to fish. i can guess the audio sounds somethign like this
redneck one " woo boy look at that one"
redneck 2 "boy ill tell you you what man"
repeat over and over agian for 2 hours.

part 2 is on the way stay tuned
