I saw your film - reviewed it - really liked it. I don't understand why you consider it a 'western' though. I would consider it more of a 'gangster' genre than western... When I think westerns I think of cowboys and horses... maybe even Indians / Native Americans.... but not pickups and...

Those burial grounds will get you every time! I used to work for a company that unknowingly had its headquarters building built on a burial ground. There was -always- trouble with all the equipment! It didn't matter if it was mechanical, electronic, whatever. Finally it was determined that...

My experience has been that they will charge you - this is called "four walling". They will charge you a fixed amount per screening ( a screening is one 75-120 minute period, usually) and then they give you the money from ticket sales for your screening. For example, if they charge you $175...

congratulations! and best wishes for much continued success. Keep us posted.

No money in drama shorts except in very special circumstances (contests, sale to Sundance Channel, festivals with monetary awards) and even then not much money.

try this one I found it here: http://www.studentfilms.com/film/get.do?id=43 I don't have anything to do with the film, I just kept looking until I found it...

almost anything's better than nothing! There are some decent NLE's out there for less than $200. I started out with Pinnacle Studio at $99 plus another $70 for a Firewire card. It was okay for simple editing and getting started - I'm not recommending it I'm just saying I was better off...

Adobe After Effects Thanks for your input! We're not using Adobe Premiere for NLE, could we still use Adobe After Effects or does it require/work better with Premiere? Also, are you using the Professional Bundle or the Standard version? Anyone else have comments about After Effects, good or...

Yes, but I hope we will have enough personal integrity to vote for the (film, politician, referendum, etc) that we truly believe in, and not the one that whatever organization or affiliation we may have asks us to!!

Here are my thoughts: -Kurosawa – his life and work -Top director interview (tba) I enjoy interviews, 'spotlights' and biographies, but only when they contain useful and/or interesting information. When it turns out to be just "aren't they great?" or a treatise on someone's political views or...

What is the best software for adding special effects in post? Our needs are pretty simple right now, like muzzle flashes from gun fire, but we'd like to get something we can grow with. I didn't know whether to post this in "post-production" or "technology". Thanks in advance for your...

security of your original work Since it's web-based, is there a security issue? Could someone else access your script?

It's difficult to get investors for independent feature films - it's almost impossible to get investors for short films, unless they are willing to go in with the knowledge that there is little or no chance to recover their investment, much less earn a return above the amount of their...

What is everyone else using for post-production sound editing? Right now we are using Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge. Has worked pretty well so far but we don't really have anything else to compare it to. Is there something better in the same price range? ($500 and under)
