Welcome to IndieTalk

Thanks for the shout out :) But to your point, which I agree with: I'm currently working with a team of people to get my latest screenplay produced. One of the producers is actively working with several OTHER people to set up a production company along the lines of Blumhouse, but for [I'm not...

Or, in the case of our girl cat, prance daintily along the floor on tiny paws, stopping just short of dancing :) (the guys race around the house :) )

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: I HATE AI.

Too much monologue in these "scenes." Movies VERY RARELY work with speeches. Aim for two actors having a brief conversation about these subject(s).

And you're not even in NJ! :)

Here's what helped me as I worked on first stage plays, then short screenplays, and then finally feature screenplays: Do what you can to actually hear (and maybe even see) what your scripts are like "in real life." The cheapest and easiest way is to arrange to have readings of your work by...

We watched American Dreamer - it's on Amazon Prime. I liked it a lot, but I'm biased because I like Peter Dinklage a lot and it was a treat to see Shirley MacLaine. It's a bit odd and certainly imperfect, but on a purely "did I enjoy it" basis, I'll give it a 7/10.

I agree. I simply hate and refuse to be a party to a technology that makes it easier/faster/more efficient for the rich to get richer & more powerful at the expense of everyone else - at least, to the extent that I can control that. Big shows already steal ideas & dialogue from low budget stuff...

I agree with everything @sfoster said. I'll add a few other things: 1. The opening description of a Zoom call should be more specific. How many blocks with participants show up? Is it 3 or 4? 10 to 15? Are they all men? A mixture of men and women? All older, younger, or mixed? Doesn't have...

oh HELL no AI exists to make the rich richer and keep everyone else from getting a toe-hold up. I wouldn't touch that stuff with a 10 foot pole.

I don't THINK there's any legal issue but I doubt you'll have any success, either getting people to take them or finding people both interested in the project and able to act. You might consider using Actors Access https://actorsaccess.com/ You can also reach out to your local college or...

From a casting perspective, you may find it helpful to start with people who you've cast in short movies previously.

Welcome to IndieTalk! Always good to see another person from NJ :)

I see this in a lot of movies & series - they figure it needs to be ALL dark if the story is dark/serious/whatever. (A) it's overkill and (B) I like when dark things are portrayed as happening on bright sunny days. We KNOW that happens (anyone who was in NYC on 9/11 can tell you that) and it's a...

AI exists to save money for rich people & corporations by eliminating the need to pay people to do work. I avoid it at every opportunity. Plus, I've seen waaaaayyyyyyy to many cases in which it comes back with idiotic responses because garbage in, garbage out.
