I have experience with TV production companys. You can trust a legit TV production company. It's not uncommon for a prodCo to sent out requests for scripts - clearly not a Guild signatory. You give no useful info so you'll only get general advice. If your description is accurate I find it odd...

"that a person feels shame or guilt for enjoying, often because they feel they will be judged by others:" Taking it literally I'm pleased to say I have none. Oh, I take great pleasure in movies that are I know are bad but I have no guilt at all or shame. "Showgirls" is a true favorite of mine...

Sometimes a director gets bogged down in some minutia and the DP will “step on the toes” to make the shoot easier. Sometimes an experienced DP will “step on the toes” of an inexperienced director to make a situation more clear to the crew or actors. A good, experienced DP may intimidate a...

Don't you think you kinda buried the lead... That you've done this before and you have access to the budget of your previous series would have been very helpful when asking if anyone here has experience. I know my answer would have been different.

I have quite a bit of experience in budgeting TV series. You have a lot of work ahead of you. I suggest you hire someone. Union or non union will make a huge difference. Name stars will make a huge difference. And the number of regulars, guests and extras will make a huge difference. Putting...

That's great!

I consistently use a 50, 35 and 28. In general you wouldn't need the 28mm so I would suggest just buying two at first. I agree with AcousticAl that getting a good 20-70 zoom might be better for making movies with your son.

I, too, think of "Bollywood" when I think if Indian cinema. But I have seen the Apu Trilogy and "The Big City". In general here in the states Indian cinema isn't well known outside of the Bollywood movies.

I have many thoughts on negotiating payment for a script. I'll stick to a low budget filmmaker and a non-Guild deal. You negotiate a script sale the same way you negotiate any deal - start high and with each lower offer ask for something - lower upfront: higher points. Many times in the...

I would very much like that.

Already been done - you're too late. Le Dernier Combat: A post-apocalyptic time in which the atmosphere doesn't allow people to speak.

Welcome.

Once again, I hope you understand the confusion you cause when you post partial examples that do not show what you want to do. Finally you post an example of what you want to do; a monologue with high production value. You know what my answer will be before I even offer it - because I have...

Okay, I get it. In three examples you posted there is a still picture: The cover of the audio cassette A photo of Christopher Plummer A drawing of Eric Dolphy So you want a still picture as you narrate the war. So write what you want to narrate - record the narration and then select the...

Welcome
