Many filmmakers try casting without everything in order. I wonder if that's you can't find a cast. Do you have a firm start date? Can you tell potential actors exactly how many days you will need them? Is all that in your casting notice?

You should try colleges and universities. Those that have a theater and/or film/TV program.

I'll train you to be the best for $40 per hour!

The 14pro would be great for all those shots. Look into the Blackmagic iPhone app. It offers more control than the built-in camera.

I'd be glad to offer my version. I wish to read your version. Since I am one of the people here I'm sorry you feel I have lost my purpose. I am trying to help in my way. I honestly meant to be encouraging in helping you find your logline. I see my method isn't what you are looking for. I have...

I won First Place: Crime Drama at Indie Gathering many years ago. Two weeks before the festival I got a gig so couldn't attend. And I had purchased airline tickets and a hotel room. I wanted to be there.

SCARY!!!

Okay, I'll help you create a proper logline. I won't write it for you, but I'll offer some direction. You have all the components – you just need to condense it. Maybe you don't need to mention his parents being killed. Important to the story, but maybe not the logline. You say his gift in...

Have you asked the retired scientists where they would like to be filmed? They might have a place special to them. Or as sfoster suggested going to their home might be most convenient for them.

I listen to two podcasts - one five days a week and one three days a week. In both cases the host was once on the mourning radio show I listened to every morning. They left the radio and started a podcast. The new version of radio...

I guess not a popular opinion, but I think the info Nate and soundslikejoe gave ten months later is very helpful. Not for TalismenTaes who will never see it but for others. To me it's not a waste of time answering old, unanswered questions.

I hate this. But there is no holding back progress. Struggling with format can be an important aspect of learning to write a screenplay. Knowing why the format is in place makes the difference between a writer and a screenplay writer. Excellent points from mlesemann and CelticRambler. We have...

I like all the songs on your list. Depending on how you use them they could easily make your movie seem outdated. Not much help, I know. But there is no way I can offer my opinion on if you chose the right songs without seeing the movie. The use of songs and image in a move is too important for...

And it's been a great place the whole time. So glad indietalk is here!

Nice work.

Then go for it. Don't think about the typical length of successful screenplays. Finish it as it is. This is your first screenplay. It will not sell or be made into a movie. This is for YOU and you alone to learn. Once you start your third screenplay then put into action what you have learned...

I say go for it. Expanding on ideas and themes is a great way to stay creative as a writer.

Your actors refuse to do as you ask. That's a difficult one... Since this is something that happens often to you I will second mlesemann - in the future cast actors who will not refuse your requests. Perhaps you need to explain a little better why you are asking your actors to speak up...

I haven't used it. What's in demand here is the States is horror. Always in demand - not expensive to make, doesn't need name stars, can make a profit.

Coverfly has a reasonably good reputation. It can help you find competitions and festivals. It has a peer-to-peer option so you can offer notes to other writers. It has a database where "industry professionals" can look for screenplays. But the harsh reality is professionals go to established...
