ldavis-2 Saw this last night on Showtime. As I'm watching, it occurred to me that everyone bitching about how hard the indie life are highly-successful industry people. Whenever I think of Illeana Douglas, I think of her grandfather, who left behind - aside from a great body of work - two Academy Awards. I imagine if she were really hard-up, she could pawn Grandpa's Oscars for a pretty penny.As for our "hero" Daniel Gillies (aka Whiny Bitch), he is a working actor whom, I presume, has an agent, whom, I presume, knows people, whom, I presume, can help Whiny Bitch get his vanity project off the ground! For the rest of us with no cash and even less connections, Kingdom Come tells you squat about how to get your little opus off the ground. And @ericdrumz was right about Gillies's "producer" -- talk about clueless!The other thing that bugged me was how everyone bitched about "the money people". Again, these people crap what you and I make in a year. I guess there are a few twits who get their jollies stringing aspiring filmmakers along, but, if you're asking me for x-amount of dollars, what guarantee do I have that you won't go to Vegas, and blow the whole wad?!The Colombia segment featured heart-breaking footage of stray dogs. When I realized Whiny Bitch did squat to help these poor creatures (I would have moved heaven and earth to bring them to the States or, at the very least, make sure they were off the streets and properly cared for!), he lost me.If they ever make a film about Michael Hutchence (INXS), Whiny Bitch would be perfect. Not only is he a dead ringer for Hutchence, he is also vain, self-absorbed, and a legend in his own mind!

caspian1978 Every film maker or anyone who wants to be a film maker needs to watch this documentary. The journey of these Characters is true to not only the people they portray but the industry in which they choose to be characters. Kingdom Come does a perfect job showcasing the struggle in the independent film world when it comes to making (funding) a movie. A large handful of brilliant and blunt interviews creates a wonderful and important story for all film students to study. This is also a good warning for anyone who are looking for Investors for your movie. The world is full of sociopaths and psychotic losers that lie in order to be apart of the "film" world. Viewers beware! The Journey of this film maker has been the same journey that thousands of others have and will make when wanting to film their dream. Watch it and learn.

Dicastuto I really enjoy independent films because they can be so refreshing as opposed to the formulaic drivel that comes out of Hollywood. I don't want to see the same thing (and actors) over and over again. That being said, about halfway through this documentary, I started to get a very unsettling feeling in my gut. I stopped feeling sorry for this guy and opposing thoughts started to come to mind: self-serving, elitist, spoiled, delusional, ...The guy has talent but he feels entitled and doesn't seem to have both of his feet on the ground. I became dismayed when I got the feeling that he feels that the world owes him something. I hope this is only unconscious, on his part, because if he is cognizant of this, well, that would be worse. I wanted him to succeed but with great reservations.

lorimaier I first watched Broken Kingdom after coming across it on cable. I fell in love with it. Then Kingdom Come caught my eye, again while flick'n through cable. I was interested because I had seen the movie. I was so caught up in this documentary I could not stop watching. Maybe I'm an emotional person but this brought me to tears. It really was eye opening to see what artists have to go through to get their story told/produced. This was stressful for me to watch. I can not imagine what they must have felt on their journey. I would recommend both the film & the documentary for all to watch, in what order I can not say. I suppose after watching the documentary someone might be more interested in seeing the film. I myself am grateful that I saw the film first. I LOVE independent films more now these days than ever before. There is nothing left to see these days but reality t.v. and crap that's shoved down our throats. Please don't stop doing what you do!!! We love you all the more for it.
