I think Altman found Shelly Duvall at a mall ... so go for it!

thanks! It is a pretty lo-fi channel, the interview part is what worries me most :) I am trying to get a screening at several local theaters and also the Cornell Cinema in Ithaca, NY where I went to school (even if I have to pay for rental) but in the mean time hopefully this might get a little...

I co-produced a feature length documentary that we are trying to gain an audience for. We shot it as students on a microbudge and our goal has never been to make money so we have sent out free dvds and put it on the internet free. Last year we tried the festival circuit (smaller festivals) with...

yeah I agree with Dreadylocks, trust or not, what are you actually doing? What is the film, or is it just an idea, with a trailer? A good question to ask is does it even need to be a film?

I made a "feature" micro-budget doc. Its 70 min. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I posted it in the screening room. I produced and edited it and also recorded sound. Alive and Well and Kicking

I think it can be difficult enough to get people to watch an independent film for free unless they have some incentive, let alone spend a measly dollar or $10 or $20 even to see it, or see it made.

even people on this site don't watch each others movies, when people post in the screening room there are a few comments and then it dies

yeah unfortunately it is not always the cure, but sometimes you can pull it so the fade comes more from the other side of the clip, I find that helps with that problem.

I wrote a screenplay when I was a kid about a hero named "Mr. Fruity Tutti" who was friends with an apple, orange, and pear. He was pretty indescript himself. I made them with balloons, so he was like a white banana only blown up halfway (so the deflated rest was his nose). He had to save his...

I would check your sequence settings compared to your export settings and make sure everything is set with preview on final cut, it never quite looks as good as it should, especially if you are editting something in HD resolution. This is really evident when you are adding titles to a...

we were filming a documentary scene in which our character was going from room to room in a haunted hotel telling us what she felt in each. She and her friend were running around an awful bit so it was pretty hectic, and we personally have not experienced ghosts in any way but we had a few...
