Hi There, Rayw asked me a while ago to share my crowdsourcing experience from my Kickstarter page for 'Buck Shot', and I suppose I'll share it with you guys (sorry Rayw for the delay). Ultimately, i found the whole Kickstarter experience to be a positive one (due to the fact that I DID reach...

Thanks!

Like a scab, the best way to make writers block go away is to stop poking at it (sorry for the icky visual there). It may be tough, you feel like there is something wrong with you and you just want to fix it. Sometimes, you simply can't just flip the switch and start the ideas again. Depending...

Thank you, Aaron. We'll be in touch when we get to post production. ~Dave

harmonica44, I'm sorry to hear that things didn't turn out like you wanted them to for your short. Your DP definitely should have communicated with you if there was an issue with the actors blocking compared to the camera movement. Personally, as a director, I don't like my camera moving all...

Hi Everyone, I'm somewhat new to this community, but I was hoping you could take a second of your time to hear about a new short film I'm trying to make called 'Buck Shot'. Our budget for the film is $2,200 and we need some help reaching that amount. Our Kickstarter page can be found HERE. I...

Max and Company, Well done. Your film possesses that difficult to capture, but often important element known as charm. Your actors are quite good and have great screen presence. I enjoyed the silly but somewhat whimsical plot, especially the turn around at the end. You worked well with pop...

Christopher (I'm assuming you are Christopher), I'm going to give you some honest, constructive criticism on your script. You obviously have an interesting story on your hands here and would like to do it the best service you possibly can in translating it into a screenplay, but are new to the...

I'd love to give it a read: daveves87@gmail.com

No problem. Good luck with the script!

Abraxas Studios, While I know that's not your real name, it would catch your attention. But anyways, Spencer, I read your script and I have a few suggestions: As far as the overall craft of your screenplay, a few things could use some tweaking. If you've not already sold the script, i would...

The film I'm posting here was my senior thesis film for Drexel University, shot in 2009. It holds a special place in my heart, so I hope you enjoy it. Here is 'Return to Sender' ~Dave EDIT: Just a quick warning, the film is 22 minutes long. Also, I suppose I should tell you the plot of the...

My goodness... I feel so... welcome!

Style certainly doesn't hurt a film, but don't get too caught up in it, as it is far from the most important part. The saying "style over substance" came to mind when reading through this thread, and I think that substance should really be held at a higher esteem than style. What are you trying...

Hello There, New to the community. Figured I'd get the ball rolling by posting a short I wrote and directed called 'The Standoff'. The language is NSFW, so... yeah... Enjoy! ~Dave
