    Getting the talent to go to 'that place.'

    I understand your question, and my answer is that I cast actors that can do this without my intervention or with very little guidance from me. They go 'there' because they love the material and love their craft. That's what they do...they go 'there.' It has little to do with me as a director (in...

    Getting the talent to go to 'that place.'

    A lot of that should be done in casting...you should cast actors that you know can get to that level. All actors work differently; some despise rehearsals and some need them. If you've got definite plans for how you want your acting to be, definitely rehearse! If taking them on the emotional...

    writers' room

    Here's a suggestion: What about a subsection in the Screenwriting forum called "The Writers' Room"? Strictly for screenplays in progress...the screenwriting section has gotten a lot of mileage over the last year, and a lot of it is screenplay improvement/brainstorming. A lot of talented...

    Will the audience see this twist coming?

    If you are having her smoke BECAUSE she's bad, then they will figure it out. Don't write stereotypes.

    editing Real Particles

    This is great...with so many using the same AE tutorials the same way, what were seen as groundbreaking incredible effects just a few years ago are starting to look sterile and boring. Although I'm reminded of the time I first learned that some of the vast, billion-mile spacescapes during the...

    What acting skills or qualities do YOU look for?

    I like less-than-ordinary looks/physiques. I like actors who do their work and come to the set prepared to work. I like actors who volunteer ideas.

    editing When Vegas Freezes and Locks Up Rendering . . . ?

    No, I rendered 5 individual clips from 5 individual projects. Then I created a 6th project, imported my five individual clips, and rendered the final. Vegas kept locking for me when it had to do any color correction or other effects in clips longer than a ten mionutes. But with each clip...

    editing When Vegas Freezes and Locks Up Rendering . . . ?

    I am the last person to ask questions regarding computers, but when Vegas kept locking up on my first self-edited short (45 minutes), the work around I used was to render each scene as a separate 10 minute-or-less .mov. When each scene was edited and rendered, I created a new project, imported...

    Pick one

    What if it turns out the woman at the airport lounge and the fiance who dumped him at the alter are in on it together? To implicate him in some crime, or make him the fall guy? A twist from what appears to be RomCom to Thriller. Might be something there.

    Have a Q about Film Festivals? Ask Here.

    Last year, I directed five films with three different producers and in some cases all five were submitted to the same festival. Might this simple fact (regardless of the content/quality of the films) hurt their chances? That the same director had a lot of films submitted?
