    Copyright Law in this situation...?

    I'm wondering if anyone could shed some light onto a situation for me. I'm looking to, if at all possible, adapt Edward Albee's "The Zoo Story" into a film. And I was told since it was written before 1978, that copyright law maybe different on it as it is to other work. Could anyone shed some...

    What made you want to make films?

    Guess everyone, to an extent, has a movie like that, where it makes them wanna make movies. For me it was Eraserhead, for various reasons. It was weird, non linear, beautifully shot and, at the time I was in the midst of a love affair with Lynch's work because of things like Twin Peaks. And it...

    What made you want to make films?

    I've always been curious exactly what it is that drives people to want to make movies. So if you'd care to share your inspiration as to what led you down this path, feel free to post here :) I guess for me, because I've been going to the movies with family from a very young age, I've always had...

    Directors like David Lynch?

    Albums like "From These Wounds"?

    Not entirely sure if there are many fans of this kinda music around on the board but hey, worth a shot :) I've been pretty much listening to the Funeral album "From These Wounds" non stop all day (inspires me to write too, which is great) and I was wondering if anyone knew some albums that are...

    Idea "Sins of the Father"

    I'm aware I'm having a lot of ideas, I'll get to writing next week when I have six weeks off of school. This one involves a couple of characters, a son and his father. The father has just been found guilty of some form of crime and gets a chance to see his son one time before he goes to prison...

    Idea - "Blood Bound"

    I love Albee too :) I've not checked much of his stuff out though, no. Zoo Story inspired me, I just see myself writing a script that's a bit more balanced

    Idea - "Blood Bound"

    I actually read The Zoo Story (a play by Edward Albee) on Friday. Inspiringin a way but I don't wanna give one character tons more and loads of monologues. I'd like to have it reasonably balanced considering it's only a cast of two

    Idea - "Blood Bound"

    I take your point, I just need to give it some more flesh and think of an ending

    Films like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"?

    Sounds interesting, I'll give it a look when I get the chance. It's actually something I've wanted to watch for ages, I might buy it the next time I get a chance. I like Polanski a lot (one of the reasons im looking forward to "Carnage" so much) and I've been meaning to check out more of his...

    The pasts of Indie Filmmakers

    I haven't got much of a past really. 16 (17 in about a month ^^) and in what I believe American's call high school. I'm studying Math, Drama and History. I wound up picking Physics for a few months but had no interest in it, and it was actually when I began to discover how strong my passion for...
