    Can't Think of Story Ideas

    Writing a scene can be literally about anything. I'd just start with something very real. Just a conversation between two people and see where it goes. Even just having a launching point IE: You can just launch into a scene with one guy saying to another guy: Chris: Yo...what's up with your...

    Santa Monica Film Festival - Anyone heard anything?

    Anyone heard from this festival yet? Used withoutabox and they never confirmed receipt of materials yet I used the online screener and the notification date was yesterday. Very strange...

    Q's about WithoutABox

    Don't troll my thread acting holier than though and not expect me to respond If you would have offered me any insight or advice other than proving how you can call people out for their mistakes, I wouldn't have lashed back. Even if you included some advice buttoned with your lackluster jab, I'd...

    Q's about WithoutABox

    Thanks man. I didn't submit to that festival for the very reason. I just wasn't sure...because several of the festivals there don't specifically say that, but I didn't know if it was something they were going to spring on me once accepted.

    Q's about WithoutABox

    Perhaps I should have rewritten my subject after I wrote the questions. I didn't. Don't lose sleep over it. Honestly....I'd say that I'd love to know what you're compensating for, acting like an ass in threads over a small oversight on a forum...but I really don't care. As you pointed...

    Dealing With Actors Who Don't Know Their Lines

    This is kind of harsh posting this. It's like a public shaming of someone who worked on your short for free. Not very cool. Regardless if this guy was being a douche or not... morally you owe this guy...he worked for you...most likely for free. Your job as a director is to make the film look...

    watch Trailer for my time traveling stoner comedy!!!

    Alright guys...we've made a few updates to the trailer....(I believe the director tried to fix some of the color issues and added some dino sounds and a snorting kind of effect.) Something I didn't realize about vimeo is that you can update a video and not have to change the link so that has...

    Named Actors Important Anymore?

    It's not quite that simple. A. You couldn't afford an A list "producer" credit. B. Even if you could an A lister is only going to put there stamp on something that is going to get seen and that doesn't run the risk of ruining their brand. if you have under a couple million dollar budget it...

    Named Actors Important Anymore?

    names are very important for distribution deals. Honestly...its hard to get someone to watch anything that doesn't have people in it that they at least recognize.
