If you had a budget and the right tools - Do you think...
 

you can produce a decent movie, maybe even a nice, quality short film?

Just asking.

Of course. You said produce... not direct, write or shoot.

As long as you know enough to know it starts with a great story, good actors and someone who knows how to light, sound and shoot then you are money.

I take that back,.Produce but also write and direct.
You can leave the lighting to someone else.

maybe...money counts so as long as you have that money, things will get easy..thats what money doin...

Yep..

Scarface II
"They left him for dead, but he's back and he still fucking hates Columbians."

Even if it was shite you're on for a sure winner.

i think i could do it... i've played with ideas a few times..

Yes 45678

just because you hve money does not mean you have the ability to create something quality like that

I think I could do something up, either an original screen play or adapted from another source.

What is the time line you working on?

If you have the right budget and tools, I think, just about by definition, you can accomplish anything.

"Decent," "nice," and "quality" are subjective.
