I liked it. I agree, cast the right people and shoot. Should be a fun little short. gelder

Congratulations! Hope it's a great experience, kicking off a long, successful run... gelder

I was about to say "congrats" and mention the small world aspect of things, but I see you beat me to it. Oh well, congrats anyway - hope you enjoy the premiere, CF! STIFF is a great fest - I was a part of the first two or three STIFFs, I think. Further "small world" stuff - I was at a birthday...

Well, some episodes aren't exactly safe for work, but most of those are labeled "explicit"... thanks for listening! gelder

Thanks, Everyone, and special thanks for posting the link to the archives, Jeff. I haven't really pushed the show here, since it doesn't focus often on filmmaking, but this one seemed like a natural. gelder

Hey, All! I host an Internet radio show in my "spare" time, and recently had two guests on who I realize could be inspirational or interesting to some in this group. They are filmmakers Nancy Hanks (no relation) and Sue Upperco of the southern California group, Dollhouse Productions. They are...

Way to go - nice! How does the King deal work? For a buck, you can license one of his stories to adapt and shoot, and then if it sells, you have to give him the soul of your first born...? gelder

Most likely, you're looking for someone who can do color correction. It is generally an editor who specializes in color correction. There is a definite skill/art to it. A great job of color timing can give a film a seriously unique look. A poor job can ruin the watchability. Advertize for a...

I got nuthin', except "Happy Birthday, Jeff." gelder

From what I understand, the film/story is pretty good - but the trailers completely suck. Apparently, a fan trailer caught the attention of a bunch of critics as being far better than the studio trailers - it explained the movie better, who John Cater was and the films/stories it had...

Kitsch's, I'm afraid. They bonded over their Longhorn status... gelder

It's a shame, I hear it's pretty good from a number of people I trust. My girlfriend interviewed everyone at the junket for the film, and was impregnated by the star, Taylor Kitsch, during this video: http://www.movies.com/movie-trailers/john-carter/2207975961 gelder

It's far from just "one blog" being critical of Invisible Children. It's also not mere cynicism due to an explosion in social media, at least, not on my part. But, everyone can investigate and make their own decisions. gelder

I don't think you can really call this a devastating global issue. There is no risk that Kony will devastate the Earth. I appreciate the things you say, about awareness, but - http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=12429 - Invisible Children has been a charitable...

I have a radio show, and talked about it this morning. There are plenty of links that show the information in the video is pretty out of date, and that the group/charity "Invisible Children" is less than transparent with their spending of funds taken in... I am wary of this campaign. It might...

Nick's right - you do want to tell more in the logline than the tagline. I'm not sure that I agree that the ex-husband thing is that different, but it is the major beat of your story, so probably better to include it in there. For a tagline, I'd avoid it, because I think it telegraphs what...

No, not at all defensive. You have to explain your thoughts in order for us to be able to be of any help, since we haven't read the script, etc. "Believes" isn't the word that troubles me as much as "ex-husband" - that reveal is the part I think is too much. If you just remove that from...

This was in The Onion in 2004. http://www.theonion.com/articles/why-no-one-want-make-hulk-2,11081/ "Why no one appreciate daring vision of Ang Lee? Aaargh! Ang Lee genius! Maybe panels on screen gimmicky, but him try something new. When last time you try something new?!" gelder

I almost feel like the ex-husband reveal is too much of a giveaway for the logline. I mean, not knowing the full story, if she moves into her ex's house and someone is harassing her and it turns out to be him, it's not much of a surprise, is it? And if it isn't him, this logline is a complete...

"After buying a home her ex-husband lost in a foreclosure, a woman learns she is being watched and believes her former spouse is behind a series of erotic attacks." Or something like that...? gelder
