Am i a violent person? Here's our fun related video. be sure to read the full story by clicking "read more" link.

So i have been told the somewhat excessive violence seen in my short films means i am a violent person. As in to have these types of concepts in my head and to portray them in my stories means i am a dark and violent person overall. I however believe this is not true. Quite to the contrary, I think my movies would be a good place to channel my violence, however that is not what the violence I portray is. What I create is not a channel because i do it in a manner i find humorous. To many, for example; a person being hung then disemboweled and decapitated as in "Comatose" is not a funny concept. I agree, it's a hideous disgusting concept and thinking of it in terms of reality makes me feel ill. However when i came up with that scene it was suppose to be even more over the top and just plain silly that i never thought of what it would be like in reality. I think many people also consider me violent not for just portraying violence my self; but also for being indifferent to mainstream movie violence. When i watch a movie, as when i make a movie; I see the violence for what it is: a lot of foam rubber, latex and red corn syrup. The only times I am bothered by movie violence is when there is alot of real emotion behind it. or when it relates to real events "Pan's Labyrinth" actually freaked the shit out of me. So I've established movie violence is usually nothing to me. Real life violence however, (seeing people get in fights or seriously hurt) just makes my skin crawl and makes me feel sick. Alot of that is my strong empathy towards most other people but for some reason just the knowledge it is real i can't stand. I know this because i can see any video or picture online of violence and no matter how real it looks, so long as i know its actually fake i dont care. BUT if i know the picture is real, (i.e. someone posts a picture off a gore site somewhere.) It disturbs me endlessly even if is more tame than a fake one. What i mean by this is if i see a picture of a person torn apart and dismembered but know its fake it does not bother me at all. But if i see a picture of someone just lying there and know they are dead and it is real, its forever disturbs me. But back to whether or not i am violent, In all truth i would say yes, i am somewhat violent. Less so however, than most people. I don't believe i channel my violence through videos though and im sure i do it in a different way as everyone does. As it is i think the violence in my movies is ok. its kept quite tongue and cheek, and it's not making anyone else feel violent. If my little movies make anyone feel like they are influenced violently then they are probably already a messed up enough person they would be inspired violently by something else if not the JK shorts.
