    How good/bad is this distribution offer clause?

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how crappy is this distribution deal? It was offered to me...and I'm scratching my head. Sorry about all the 'stars'. I copied from a pdf. NET*1*RECEIPTS/ROYALTIES:*“Actual*Gross*Receipts”*shall*be*defined*as*all...

    Film Fest

    If you don't use the directors guild, the actors union or iatse, your chances of getting a short into some of the bigger festivals is slim to none. I've now seen over 15 short film programs at TIFF. NONE of the canadian films that were entered were truly indie. they want to promote people who...

    Best Festivals for Short Films

    This is a very difficult question. Is it a feature? short? Doc? Is there a specific niche? like mental health issues or horror? Are you established? have someone famous in your film? On my decc14 blog post, I have the generally recognized festivals and their deadlines...

    Where to announce a new fest?

    I post about my festival (the greatest one in the world btw). But I don't spam about my festival. It goes under promotions category.

    Manager vs Agent

    What's the difference? Can you let me know your thoughts? And, if you believe in a filmmaker, how do you rep them?

    Need feed back please

    Palleeesssse don't say nonsense. That's cliche shit people say when they want to reject you. In 5 pages i can tell this script needs GRAMMAR, SPELLING work. As a reader, it's upsetting to read and stumble when the story is going relatively well. Writer: Your first two pages were nice. I'd...

    Best Short Film Competition - EVER!

    Hey Everyone, Sorry for the delay...it's been at least 2 or 3 months since we finished the competition. I gave myself a break after. Ugh.... marketing is so damn hard. Well, we raised just under $5k for a short script and filmmaker. I got to hand it to the first competition entries, they...

    How Much Should I Charge To Film Sports?

    Break it down. With audio? (add money because you need an audio guy) In 4k or hd? (4k takes longer to transfer and therefore edit) How long is the final cut? 10 min or 20 or 30? (the longer the cheaper = less editing) Travel cost? Parking cost? one time thing? recurring? insurance? tax?

    Anyone ever use a fog/smoke machine on a shoot?

    How does that work? Sounds interesting. have you thought of just grabbing a fire extinguisher? Spraying it around. You won't have much time though.

    To RAW or not to RAW

    ugh. I shot raw. never again. Sorry, it's a time kill. If you have HOURS to convert the image... and deal with insane files sizes...go ahead. make sure you know what you are doing. the ml community is awesome and helped me through a jam. but its a constant work around if something screws...
