    industry are tv companies safe to deal with?

    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...

    directing Does the director of photography/cinematographer have the right to step into the feet of the director?

    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...

    budget Budget for T.V. Series

    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.

    screenplay what is a beat in scriptwriting?

A director can also direct the actors to put a beat between words or after every line. In your examples the director made specific choices on how lines were...

    cinematography Best prime lens

    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.

    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...

    producing Making a movie about ONE person talking about a war.

    I'm trying to understand: What is the visual? You said an actor. Then no actor. What do you see in your minds eye on the screen as you narrate? What needs to be filmed professionally?
