But the real question is, how does the telemarketer deal with YOU? LOL. Funny stuff. I'm doing cold calls now for sales (business to business, the lesser of the evil) at me day job and the trick is to be crazier than the customer... To one lady I was like "Hey there... Oh man, sounds like...

Funny little short! GJ!

http://www.bloorcinema.com/ Call those guys and ask how they started. It's an arthouse cinema around the corner from me... they show new movies usually the month after their release and a plethora of indie films. Same price range too! Owners are real friendly- probably wouldn't mind a call!

As for pacing, i would say to look at the film "Crank" (yes, I'm using Crank as an example)... that movie was a HARDCORE fast paced thriller... from minute one to the last scene there is a constant (literal) flow of adrenaline... but even then there are a few slow scenes... because if the movie...

Rewrite it! Honestly, every time I started a new draft on my latest screenplay, I started over from scratch and it took half the time each draft and each one was better than the last. In the process of rewriting you'll discover new paths for your characters and realize that the last 6 months...

I think I recall hearing about it a few years ago, but thought it was usa-based- never really paid much attention to it in any case cause I've just only have basic cable for the last 3 years or so... certainly didn't know it was an option for DTV Canadian Film distribution!

Awesome- I've never even heard of them! 30 times! That's amazing... congrats!

Out of curiosity, which "Canadian pay TV" did you end up selling your film to?

Weeeelllccooommmeee! Good luck on yer film!

Alright folks- the full film is up again on Openfilm... only took 2 weeks, LOL... curse of the scottish play.. I'm very relieved cause the other compression sucked and this one looks pretty good... thanks for the tip there Indie!

Congrats! Sounds like it was a good 48 down there... post the entries when they're up!

Well, one thing I often do is look at this: http://www.mandy.com/1/film.cfm Where people list films for sale and info and budgets and such... There's about 12 films in the 50-100,000 range: http://www.mandy.com/1/film2.cfm?g=&m=&cc=&rw=&b=C&rt=&l=&a=&e=&f=&n= They have contact details there...

Work out a contract where the rate goes for a certain number of scheduled days for the shoot (if they're doing your location sound) and then a flat rate for the post (either hourly, daily or total), and a flat rate for any re-dos and amendments. Also work it in there that at certain points you...

LOL, never been there.... and probably won't unless you're a member and wanna bring me, ;) "The Spoke Club is for individuals with an interest in media, entertainment and the arts. The annual fee for membership is $800, with a one-time initiation fee of $500. All application forms go before the...

Ah hell, I can't even annoy him! Listen to his wise words.. As for planning a documentary..... other than planning out the type of gear you might need, locations, releases, paperwork, etc... you can't plan too much cause you don't know what you'll end up with... That being said, plan for...

Ooh, that's pretty good.. just sparked an idea.... what if the three of them had made a pact as kids to kill themselves together but got caught/failed... flash forward 10 years later or something and they all come back to a high school reunion and find out one of the three had killed himself...

Persepolis - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808417/ French film with Iranian story and backdrop.... wanted to see it at the Toronto Film Fest 2 years back but missed it. Might be relevant, cause it's a film about a culture... got really good reviews. Though personally, I like the suggestions...

WTF, dude Aussie films are some of the best films out there!!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Matthew Newton last year at TIFF... his film "Three Blind Mice" played... FANTASTIC character drama. And there were many others through the years from the land down under that were amazing as well... I...

Amazing, just an amazing flick. Pure heart.

Maybe you could add a little irony to make it not so harsh... like the opening suicide is a lumberjack who kills himself by standing under the tree he chops down... or a fireman who drowns himself by duct-taping the hose to his face... or a horse-jockey who tips a cow over onto his face and...
