I watched his DVDs, and it's really good for someone that want to understand how to make your first feature film. I really recommend it. I am making my first feature based on the information I learned on the DVD and it's all going very good. Very good info.

With 15k you can get confident on your writing skills by making more 500-1000 dollar movies until you see what works.

Don't pay an screenwriter 15k on your first film. If you really want to learn how to make a feature film with low budget go to a seminar or buy the DVDs from Dov Simens (i don't know if I can put here, anyways google it). You will learn how to budget your film and make it great. 15K is a lot...

Well, at least he had the courage to make a film and show it, he is in the right path. My first film is a crap, I would do a lot of things different if today (I made it in July) but I needed to try and fail. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okcz5p24Ge8 Success is ninety-nine percent...

Yes, a great brazilian production. Unfortunately this is the reality of slums here. There are a lot of good people under the threaten of criminals.

I like to direct with a "human touch" like Tornatore. Low depth of field like Gus Van Sant. Directing actors like Clint Eastwood. =D

Never late to start.. I am 21 and dropped from 4th year at law school (in Brazil the completion comes at 5th) to follow my cinema dream. You can find someone that want to buy your gym, but stay working with it until you find it. Do you got an screenplay ready to be shoot? Good luck! Edit: I...

You took Dov Simens School, why don't you make a feature? Instead of taking a class, you already have some equipment. Make a simple script, recruit volunteers and make it. You have the money, get the great script and your film is almost done. Use your 3k to feed your crew and send the film to...

Hey guys, I am going to publish a longer synopsis of my film "Shared Pains" on the film website and crowdfunding sites, but I am not a native English speaker so, I am asking 2 favors, please: =D 1. Please read the synopsis and help me write it correct. 2. What do you think about this story...

Very good proposal, very good shooting, I really liked it. I would just make closer shots, with unfocused background, on the majority of scenes, to create more intimacy, like the world doesn't matter when the couple is together. I feel the pace in some scenes could be slower too. Just my 2...

Ok guys, I give up on this thread, I think my English isn't good enough to explain some things like the "Phone" on the budgets, it's not a prop, it's phone bill. I am not wanting to take the food out of my crew, I said my food, anyway it was just an expression. I will never tell my crew to...

Ok, I will stop defending my teaser and start talking with you about the film. The story is really amazing, wheat, this synopsis was carefully written to tell some information but not some surprises. Well, the teaser "6 fps" is really an effect I wanted to make it look like a dizzy vision...
