If you’re the kind of person who wants to make movies, you’ve probably heard that same bit of advice over and over again: “Just do it! Get out there and make it happen!” For some, that advice isn’t really all that helpful because you start thinking, “I don’t have lights, I don’t have a good camera, I don’t have a team, I don’t have money, etc…” It can get overwhelming because those are very really concerns. No one wants to do something half ass, right? After all, why work on something if it’s not going to come out the way you want it?

But that’s honestly the worst reason to not move forward. No one gets it right the first time. No one gets it perfect. Everyone has to work hard at bettering their craft and improving their output. To prove this point, Cinefix two years ago released a “homemade” recreation of the Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn trailer, using Barbie dolls, cardboard cutouts, and other incredibly basic and inexpensive tricks.

Does it look cheap? Yup. Is it incredibly cheesy? You damn well better believe it. Is it gonna win any awards? Not a snowball’s chance in hell. But you know what? They made it and they obviously put their love and creativity into it, which makes it charming and entertaining.

So, watch the below video, get inspired, grab your iPhone or whatever device you have, and start shooting that movie!

One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.

With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.

Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…

“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”

If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
