    Deferment for Cast/Crew

    As to acting talent, the idea that you can't get great actors to work for free, well that's just not true. For the right project and if you can guarantee the right levels of exposure then actors will work for free. I think that's the bottom line. All sorts of things can be done if the script...

    Intellectual Property release forms?

    It was rather easy. Metallica also gave me the clearance to use one of their T shirts in the same movie. You just have to call either management, or the companies product placement/ legal department. No, if only someone had these forms for me....:)

    Horror vs. Thriller: What's the difference?

    A thriller is a horror film, reclassified once it makes money. Think about it-The Sixth Sense...is that reality based? Nope. It's a horror film where a little boy sees dead people. But it made so much money, it turned into a suspense thriller to attract people who don't like (and frankly...

    Intellectual Property release forms?

    Adidas has agreed to let me use their clothing in my film, but I need a release form to fax to them-does any one have a template for this particular form? I have searched all over, and it's the only one I haven't found yet.

    Viral marketing tool to get exposure for your films

    Yes, they will. People want the packaging and the physical feel of the movie on their shelves. It's a collectors format. In fact, those who download movies/music often end up buying more product if they liked it.

    Final Draft 5 font question

    Thanks a lot. For some reason it doesn't have any of the three. And we know not to upset Hollywood by using Courier New, now don't we? :crazy:

    Final Draft 5 font question

    I have noticed that Courier New is the default font for FD 5. And there is no Final Draft Courier. All there is is Final Draft heavy, which I doubt is correct. Is there a way to download Final Draft Courier for FD5? (It's not on the official site) Thanks.
