I apologize for mansplaning. I often find it difficult to know the difference between offering my advice and opinions when asked and "mansplaning". You're right; it's your project. I shouldn't do any more than simply answer the questions with no comment.

The script: no critique. A nice little piece. Equipment: I can relate. Over the years I have purchased or DYI'd stuff that didn't work the way I needed it to work. During my first several years making film (on super8) I tried all kinds of methods to get my lights in the perfect place. The light...

When I asked if you meant sound stage or office space you replied "sound stage" and then change it to "both". You mislead me.

Well, I'm too late. Have a good shoot today.

Since I have worked on many film sets I opened up your survey. When you use "studio" do you mean a sound stage? Or are you asking about office space.

I understand your passion. I understand your "point of no return". What I don't understand it your need to find a shortcut. I understand that you fear you will die young like Terry Fox and Wowaka and not complete your project. I think that's an unreasonable fear, but I acknowledge you...

Insane!

Yes, I was paying attention. I even read both the long version and the short version. I understand that you are in a hurry because people like Terry Fox and Wowaka died really YOUNG of natural causes. And you are concerned that you may die young before you complete this project thus...

It's crazy that people recording and selling sound effects don't like it when someone wants their work for free, isn't it? Even for an important cause. And who knew that ripping a model from a video game is frowned upon by the people who worked hard to build that model? I'm sorry, Avery623...

Once you take your Guild actors out of the U.S. the ULB agreement no longer applies. "The Ultra Low Budget Project Agreement applies to those films shooting entirely in the United States with a maximum budget of $300,000." You should check out the SAG/AFTRA website and look into the "New Media"...

I hadn't seen that video from the courtroom. What an incompetent fool. Every move he made that that gun was wrong. And he was a expert for the defense? I've been an armorer in more than 50 sets. I have never been on a set where there was live ammunition present. The exception being special...

No smart remarks from me. I say, yes, it's okay to make a fictional film about school violence. It sure seems like this is a passion of yours. Go for it!

This is going to put a lot of crews out of work.

Nothing to forgive. It's fine to want something artistically stunning. But, I am and always have been just your average-Joe write and film maker. I prefer to simply entertain. Just teasing you a bit.

All of my short films were in one location. One was a guy in a closet and there's something out there. My first feature was one location - technically... It was an old mansion so there were many different room and a creepy basement. All of my ultra low budget features were four or less...
