Just curious, what does it take to 'tour' a film? Seems like the idea would be to travel across the country, renting screens in various large cities where a target audience is sure to be found, while possibly hosting meet&greets in the theater with the director and actors and such, all the while...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could clear a few things up for me. I'm a beginner and since I don't have the funds for school, I'm trying to do as much reading and learning as possible online. The thing that's confusing me though, is how lenses work with a supposedly very can-be-manual camera...

Hey all, new here, and I'm fixing to direct my first full length film this spring. To be honest, I've never filmed anything before, but I've spent my whole life really being that person who thinks out each scene and angle very profoundly, just because I've always been a writer, but writing...
