Any arrangements about credits should be written in the email where you set out your terms and conditions. If you get a verbal agreement, so at a meeting a client says "We'd like you to take the editor credit" then follow up the conversation with an email that says "Just wanted to confirm what...

Hi and welcome to indietalk (and also thanks for letting me know I installed the banner links at 1000dollarfilm correctly! LOL) In my experience as a freelancer, I've never had a contract for a job, just an email agreeing my rate for the job and delivery terms. Then I write an invoice for the...

I think I've just been called a goat f$$ker! LMAO

I think the guarantee plan has some pitfalls. It could easily be exploited by people who didn't want to pay their bill. The paid membership upgrade option, doesn't actually prove the actor can get to the job on time or won't act like an ass when they're there. It seems to me that what the...

Can't help you on the numbers, but it's worth bearing in mind that the UK as a territory is about half the geographical size of California. The margins are going to be tighter.

Hey, I happen to KNOW, that ALL the fish were completely naked in "Finding Nemo" as were the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" :lol:

Yeah, I never would have watched Amelie or Citizen Kane if the girls in it hadn't had great hooters! :lol:

Fair points and I genuinely wish you all the best in your business venture. You are right about one point, I don't know what newfaces.com does... and, I'm also not that impressed by either testimonials or the client list. I've got a friend who runs an extra agency in Scotland... when they...

No, it's not true that young people like sex and violence... old people like it as well :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist. There is a market for exploitation movies, always has been. Tits and guns sell DVD's

If you're not pimping your own site and just conducting market research, then none of my generic comments about bogus marketers apply to you... and, as I stand by what I say, that people who do that are weasels, I'm not in the mood to withdraw it... However, I'm with the rest of the guys on...

Welcome and thanks for being so straight with us... that really sets you out from the crowd. Hope this project grows and grows. All the best.

I think you're right Rik... and between you and me I'm getting completely sick of "bogus referral" marketing. There is a very fine line between "fake referral marketing" and out right scamming. Either way, it's attempting to make money by telling lies and misrepresentation. I think I'm going...

I'm with Rik on the "cast by 'insert name of web scam' company" issue However, there is another angle: If you have an internet bimbo, who is getting 12,000 hits a day on her website... then she has an audience. If you make a film and let her pimp the film on her site... well, then you've got...

I haven't time to list books and articles... but here are the headlines: 1) Don't pay for representation or to join an agency... these are scams 2) Being an extra isn't a route into the profession 3) Acting isn't about doing anything... it's about understanding enough about people and...

Great point... consider me suitably humbled. So, there is a situation under which I'd pay for access! LOL :blush:

I would never pay for access to an actor... period. The model is very simple... they have an agent, you pay them to work, agent takes commission from the work... anybody who is charging for introductions is a scam artist and should be flogged in the streets! As to whether I'd hire a web bimbo...

I can see a couple of reasons for giving this site a go... but not if you're looking for investment. The basic premise is that you slap up your project and then virally spread the word on it via social networking sites... which isn't a bad idea and is the similar to the approach being taken by...

I'm going to give you a piece of advice as one film blogger to another: No amount of screaming "who read my blog" is going to attract readers... I haven't read it and there are two reasons, one, I'm too busy and two... I don't like doing things out of a sense of obligation. The more you demand...

You're making a mistake common amongst indies, because the truth is: There is no such thing as a cheap star... they're either cheap, or they are a star... they can't be both. Now, there's a whole direct to DVD industry based on bad films hiring in a "name" for one day's work, so they can use...
