    Film Critics, Who are they?

    Ah, sorry - my misunderstanding as to what had you upset. gelder

    Film Critics, Who are they?

    I can see why someone would have thought this was a blow job scene - the only thing missing was seeing a penis in her mouth, which you can't show, or it would have been X-rated. But if you're getting upset with a reviewer because they mistook that scene for a blowjob rather than "her face...

    Products Available to Place in your Films

    Thought it might be helpful to some of you to mention this company my friend has run for a few years: Hero Entertainment Marketing - they have deals in place with a couple of dozen companies to provide productions with wardrobe, props, etc. to use in your film. http://www.heropp.com/ There...

    When actors drop out 4 days before shoot time....

    That statement contradicts itself. Why didn't the 'real' actors perform in your film, if it's about the art? Because they're SAG, and they chose the money or the union benefits over your art. gelder

    When actors drop out 4 days before shoot time....

    That's not money's fault. That's the responsibility of the person who did your casting. If that's you, don't blame the existence of a paycheck; blame your casting decisions. You're right, we probably won't agree on this. But, when people make hard statements about how you don't get passion...

    When actors drop out 4 days before shoot time....

    Sorry, but as someone who has handled all aspects of several productions (casting, directing, producing) and who acts, I disagree with this line of thinking as an absolute rule of thumb. There is nothing that guarantees if someone is interested in receiving money for their skilled work that...

    Do we encourage each other enough to keep trying?

    I think it was actually Robert Townsend who maxed out his credit cards to make his first feature. Although Spike Lee may have done it, too. gelder

    RIP Whitney Houston

    I think you're responding to the bit I quoted from ussinners, and not what I said. gelder

    RIP Whitney Houston

    Look, I don't care one way or the other about her death, other than it's a bit sad someone dies so young. I have no personal connection to her or her family, so I don't feel any loss. But you have no way of knowing any of this. It's just how you feel about strangers you don't know anything...

    indiegogo pitch feedback

    The only thing that concerns me with leaving the misspelling, if it was intentional, is that it might turn off the casual friend who doesn't see it as a joke (as neither zen or myself seemed to). I wouldn't want anyone to mistake an attempt at humor for a lack of professionalism and not give...

    indiegogo pitch feedback

    I like the second version much better than the first. Way to step up your game and get creative. I like that you're playing with music and your look/image. It was much more fun. Some of the edits are a little jarring, and I don't think anyone wants to be jarred into giving money. I had a...

    The Death and Return of Superman

    My girlfriend's in the video. She says Max didn't know Elijah or Mandy or Simon beforehand - apparently, they all share a management company in common. gelder

    Kickstarter and Indiegogo

    Thanks! The majority of those who contributed (probably 95%) are people who either know me or the star of the play, Jann. There have been a few folks neither of us knew who gave small amounts ($1 - 10). But, we'll take anything we can get, so those amounts were appreciated, too. gelder

    The Death and Return of Superman

    He asked. I'm interviewing former Louisiana Governor and current GOP Presidential candidate Buddy Roemer on my radio show today, because I asked. It's amazing how often that works, where not asking almost never does. gelder

    Kickstarter and Indiegogo

    The reason I wouldn't do both at the same time is, you're dividing the effectiveness your projects. If I'm on your mailing list and I decide to give, what if I don't give to the one that hasn't hit your minimum yet? Or what if I see you trying to fund two projects and I think, "Well, I could...

    Ask permissioon before or after?

    Actually, they don't. I worked on one of these hidden camera shows ("Trapped In TV Guide"), and none of the "civilians" who were tricked on camera were paid for their segments on the show. They would perform the stunt/bit, the reveal would happen when the actor said "You're Trapped In TV...

    KickStarter & IndieGoGo success stories

    I have set up two Kickstarter projects - the first was for 10K and would have funded if the executive producer had been willing to accept a 4K deal from a friend who requested an associate producer credit and the majority of the money back after funding. That would have given us over 5K to work...
