You're going to fail. Give up!

I've had lengthy conversations with American friends about cling film. Short answer: they don't get it.

I'm definitely pro-CF continuing as lead editor if his computer issues are resolved. He's a great editor, we all know that, and already has all the footage. Win win!

Fully supportive of all progress on this. I have a WeTransfer Plus account if we need to transfer large files across the world.

The last thing you want is someone to do something they feel uncomfortable with, just because they feel a pressure to churn out the work. It's tricky as an actor starting out to know how and when to say no to scripts that you don't feel are right for you. I would try not to take it as too much...

I would get yourself up to Sheffield for Doc/Fest this year and set us some meetings there. You want to get yourself into the Meet Market there https://sheffdocfest.com/articles/339-meetmarket I walked round a couple of years ago (not pitching anything, just curious) and its big and buzzing all...

Congratulations Mara, looks great! I was wondering what you'd say, practically and creatively speaking, have been the step-ups from Surviving Family to Detours? Are you happier with this picture?

Apologies for not helping so much guys – I'm knee-deep in development at the moment but should have more time in a couple of weeks. FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: We have enough material to cut together the short film that we need. Yes, we might like a bit of extra stuff here and there, but that...

Looks great Brett. It's a big goal to meet, but I've kicked in a few bucks to get you started. Good luck!

Not been on here so much recently and the members list seems to have vanished, so all my recommendations are semi-old-timers. That said, the most important thing with something like this is finding people who really want to do it. For all I know, these people might have no interest! WalterB...

This was some pretty crappy news last week. A really, really great character actor, who made himself so iconic simply by doing something different to what everyone else did.

Looking forward to seeing new stuff. Of all the online film communities I've been part of, Indietalk is the only one that feels properly global, and that's something unique and worth celebrating.

This is really good and very professionally done. I also like the way you've responded to people's feedback on here – all very good signs. For what it's worth, my only concern is that I don't know whether I'd start writing a project into a web-browser. I'm one of those people who's had their...

Agree with this completely. Cast and crew will often change after the crowdfunding process, but having them there helps cement the idea that the production is ready to go. I wouldn't make deferred payment contracts for them, but rather just approach them about the project and see whether...

You've started 8 different threads for this series, which constitute the 8 posts you've made on this forum. Only one person has responded to your spamming and they didn't receive a follow up from you. I've seen you doing this on a few different groups that I'm a member of and it's really...

I think you'll probably have to see it as an investment in future projects. There aren't many feature length documentaries that are actively bringing in money (compared to the number made each year), let alone short docs. So I think that you have to accept that it's very hard to flip a switch...

1st AD is a massive credit on a good film, and a massive responsibility with a full sized crew. If it's a bare bones crew and a film that's unlikely to trouble decent international festivals, then I wouldn't beat yourself up about not taking the job. The benefit of the job will be the...

Why would you be surprised that people aren't talking to you when, so far, you've only posted about yourself? That seems the more obvious 'activity' problem here.

This actually looks really good, so I've kicked you $10. Not sure what advice I could offer you, other than to keep tapping real world resources (friends, family, friends of family, family of friends, local tycoons) and try and be within a couple of $K of your goal going into the final 24...

I think it looks really good – the cut moves quickly and it looks like a really interesting subject. Three things: 1) I'm not sure about the whole Googling thing in the trailer (unless it's very crucial to the film itself). The second one particularly looks a bit clumsy. With the first one...
