    locations Making the Winter feel like Summer

    Thanks. In some ways it's more interesting if the location is uncomfortable but she's still clinging to it. It makes the audience wonder why. It sounds like you could go either way with how the location is. That's perfect to be flexible, maybe if it rains this could be your backup plan Good luck!

    locations Making the Winter feel like Summer

    Sounds to me like you have a good story right there. There could be a million reasons a Mom doesn't want to let go of her son. I'm just spitballing, here is one possible variation. A deadbeat no-good dad got his life together, and after 7 years has finally convinced the court to give him joint...

    locations Making the Winter feel like Summer

    Personally I wouldn't want to have a kid in the winter outdoors wearing summer t-shirts, the idea seems fundamentally problematic and there are so many stories to tell. Maybe there is another reason the Mom doesn't want to go home - besides the weather? Something more personal she is avoiding...

    campaign I Need A Better Knife

    For reference, one of our members shortfilmsensei (previously onebaldman) made a 10 minute sci-fi film for a similar price point You will save a lot of money and effort by using a modern day house as your set. We're pretty good here at being scrappy, I'm sure we could help you lower your...

    campaign I Need A Better Knife

    Hold up. It's a single house location, 4-page script of people talking, how did you come up with the $8,000 figure?

    campaign I Need A Better Knife

    Hi Amaya! I'm bankrupt so I can't donatate to anything, generally speaking I think filmmakers aren't a great demographic to crowd fund from, since we all have our own projects that we want to fund instead. That said, I looked at your crowd funding page, I think it would help if you have more...

    social-media Fkkking YouTube - an anti AI rant!

    It actually astonishes me how poorly designed the youtube player is. If I adjust the volume slider with my mouse, suddenly the player will no longer respond to keyboard commands like full screen, pause, play, etc Damn thing IGNORES ALL KEYBOARD after adjusting volume slider. It's clearly...

    Blue Steel

    The concept is very cool, but these videos don't convey any progression. You could randomly reassmeble these clips together in any order and I don't think I'd be able to tell a difference in the end product. They're all just a dude with a guitar? You probably want to try more demanding examples...

    streaming MGM+ is Foolish

    It's the same for all versions of Face/Off, the only way for me to watch HD version is to steal it. Bonus points to amazon for at least giving me a warning upon clicking buy that it won't be HD

    streaming MGM+ is Foolish

    At first - I purchased (not rented) the movie on youtube, but got an SD version there. I "own" the damn movie but you're telling me what screen I'm allowed to watch it on? If you spent an hour trying to watch Face/Off you wouldn't be happy either 😅 It was a whole thing, I even tried...

    streaming MGM+ is Foolish

    None of the other streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Peacock) give me this issue. Unfortunately MGM+ must be sfoster compliant, so I got my subscription refunded.

    streaming MGM+ is Foolish

    Yesterday I tried for an hour to purchase a HD version of Face/Off to stream Due to something called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to "prevent piracy" it would only stream SD for me. I paid for an HD film and it's delivered in 480P... Yes this is a real thing that MGM is...

    I watched two meditations on motherhood Babes with broad city star ilana glazer Nightbitch with Amy Adams embracing extra pounds for the role I hoped Nightbitch would be enigmatic like a david lynch movie, but it was more relatable instead, and does an amazing job portraying the...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    The Union with JK Simmons, Halley Berry, Mark Whalberg is listed on Netflix as a Comedy first, Action second. There's not a single fucking joke. Not a single fucking comedian. And it's listed as a comedy. Then I tried to watch Jamie Foxx new standup special "What happened was..." and it's a...
