My wife and I have produced 9 feature films, and a lot of documentaries and short films. We have also been directors of a film festival for 11 years, so we've reviewed hundreds of entries. Generally speaking, the longer the film, the harder it is to get it accepted into a film festival. A...

Filmhub is a shot in the dark at best, but at least it's free. We don't expect to make any money with them, but at least our films are "out there" somewhere. We have 8 films listed with filmhub, which appear on Udu, Amazon Prime, Unreel, and Binge Horror. Two more films are approved and...

Since Amazon has been purging titles, they finally dumped one of ours. Assuming that they will eventually dump ALL of our older films shot in SD, we have been looking for alternatives. We found a company called Filmhub which charges nothing for placing your films on various websites, such as...

All of the ones that you mentioned, and whatever other sources you can come up with. Most of your applicants that you will receive from ANY source are really qualified to be "models" but not actors...they have no acting experience but feel that they are talented actors none the less. As you...

A video needs a story, a plot, or a reason for being. Ask yourself, "why does anyone want to see my cactus".

Go to craigslist.org and look at the TV/Film/Video jobs section. There are several cities in Texas to choose from. Most of the jobs are unpaid "junk", but there are a few paid gems in there.

The simplest solution is for you to get a format converter, and convert your files into a format that your editor can ingest. I use a PRISM format converter that is available for free trial. It's at https://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html When your "free trial" expires, simply download...

The new rate card is posted on the video central page for your Amazon account.

Amazon just announced that filmmakers who have films on AMAZON PRIME will now be paid 4 cents per hour...down from the 6 cents that they were previously paying. Bummer.

Thank you. I'll see what we can come up with.

The lyrics have been lost in the mix. Can you post the lyrics of the song...

Videvo.com has some free videos, and we use pond5.com quite often. other companies that we have used are: Videohive.com dreamstime.com and videoblocks.com All have individual clips for sale...no "subscriptions".

My wife and I have made over a dozen "no budget" feature films. (Actual costs $2400 to $9000 each). My advice is...only spend what you can afford to lose. Don't borrow money. Don't mortgage your house. Don't cash in your 401K. Don't sell points. If you have $500, spend $500. Chances are your...

My wife and I have been running film festivals for the past 11 years. Actually, we prefer that you simply upload your film to FilmFreeway and not vimeo. The reason is, if you upload to FilmFreeway and we want your entry for our festival, we can simply hit a "Request Download" button on...

My wife and I watched STAN AND OLLIE...(Laurel and Hardy). We loved it. The attention to detail was amazing. The makeup should win an oscar.

I sent an email to our local radio station and got one of their on-the-air DJs to do some work for $50. He just popped-in an old audio cassette and did it right at his desk...

If your subtitles cannot be removed, perhaps you can simply cover them up with a black bar...

Sounds like you accidentally shot the video at a high frame rate, such as 60fps. Normal is 24 or 30 fps. To view it at the proper speed, you can try to speed up the footage in your editor.

Remember that you can shoot the video normally, and speed it up in editing. By doing it in editing rather than in the camera, you can experiment with various speeds without ruining your original footage. "Silent" speed in movie projectors was traditionally 18 frames per second, and "sound"...

A film festival is "non-commercial". You are not making money from it. In fact, the festival is good publicity for "the band" and for everybody associated with the film, so you should welcome a public screening.
