This may or may not help you, but here is my experience with similar schools. Currently I am going to Point Park University and near by is the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Why did I choose to study film at Point Park Univ. is because I would be having a more "typical" college experience while...

Take it even a step further. Provide all the food, a complimentary DVD, and a hand written thank you note. This will increase your chances of returning to that location in the future. Always be thinking of the long-term. If your not courteous to those providing the location, they most likely...

That's great advice, I will defiantly have to check out Withoutabox.com And thanks to everyone else who has responded. I appreciate it and will take it into consideration.

Usually what inspires me with bad films is the experience that comes with them. When I saw Snakes on a Plane in theaters(twice) the audience was shouting at the screen, laughing out loud, and yelling quite a few snide remarks. Each time and in different theaters. Now, if you pick that movie...

I've been re-reading your posts and found some new ways I should be looking at films, especially creativity wise. Also I may have some insight for you. Inspiration, personally, does not have a distinct means of unsurfacing. Sure great films like Manhattan have inspired me into film making...

Being a student their are a lot of opportunities to send your work to film festivals. After doing some research it seems that many festivals have limitations. If you submit to them, you can't post on youtube or other festivals. Just a few examples... How do you know which festivals are the ones...

Currently I am entering my Fourth semester in Film School. So I was going over a lot of the same questions you are now. Did I make the right decision? Time will only tell, but yea, I'm positive I did. When I was first looking for film schools, the name mattered more to me than anything else...

This is a really good solution, I'll defiantly have to try that out.

Yea, so that's a pretty "Good" point. Advertising does play a key role in the opening box office. How else would Beverly Hills Chihuahua have done so well? Opening box office returns are not usually affected by the quality of the film, rather, the length it stays in theaters is. The better the...

After seeing Valkerie I've come to the conclusion it was a whopping OK. It was a 2 hour argument that ended with an explosion. This is already a hard story to tell because everyone knows they failed and Hitler lived. So why should I be invested in these characters? Most of this movie was based...

Because it's a 24 hour, it can easily be said their is a lot more work to do. However, with THAT being said. Loved it, some pretty funny gags that kept the momentum in the film. It was the kinda humor I like seeing on screen.

I totally agree. During rehearsals, the main male was great, however once the cameras turned on he became stiff. I was giving him different scenarios, and objectives to play off of, but his performance was the same. What do you suggest when an actor freezes on set? What is the best way to...

No, that is great. Those are some suggestions I can really use. I never thought of shoe tape. Do you know of any filters on FCP that can remove the loud footsteps by chance? I'm glad you liked it!

I've never entered a legit film festival before. Has anyone ever done that before? And where do you think this film will stand amongst the competition?

Honestly, publicly shred it. People can have their hopes and dreams, but to me its important to base them in reality. If people never said anything because it wasn't nice, then it would be a waste giving awards and praising films. Everyone would be in a comatose from believing their film was...
