I said that you are being a dick because you are getting all high and mighty for no reason. If you feel that way then lead by example. Watch the short and spread the word. Judging by other threads in this section I am not the only one not getting any love. It's just disappointing when your...

You are just being a dick. I have watched others work. I don't need to comment. And as I stated I don't even really want any comments. I just want views.

^ I have been off this board for months at a time. And I wasn't looking for comments pre say. Views would be nice though. I understand why Tony Scott and Robin Williams killed themselves. This business has no sense of community. No one cares about one another unless it benefits them.

Who spends money marketing a short film? I am better off selling the rights for distribution at this point. This is a freaking filmmaking site. Why should I sell it here? I thought that since this is a "community" that people would watch others work. But I guess I was mistaken. You say...

Bump Doesn't even look like anyone here clicked on the links. Isn't this supposed to be a community? What are we, the Academy?

Double short feature This is my latest short, Elsewhere. Were still going for some festivals. But I can finally put it publically online. So far the response has been good. I am disappointed that the main actress has pretty much refused to promote (though the second actress has been helping...

I am going the Alejandro González Iñárritu route and saying let's a little movie magic out there :).

https://youtu.be/1SlmJ5fOlU8 I will have the full length short online for pubic viewing tomorrow!

Not really. Predetermination does exist (but that is a deeper subject for some other time). H44 Your questions are weird. You need to keep in mind that film is meant to be an emotional medium. If you are constantly looking to explain things logically then there is another medium for you, books.

I am releasing my last short film publically online on Friday (Elsewhere). Here is a trailer https://youtu.be/1SlmJ5fOlU8 I am finishing up casting my directorial feature film debut that I wrote and will star in. My producer and I are finishing up our business plan too. Things are going...

^What she said is simply not true. It's helpful. But it isn't true. Your editor and loop any dialogue that you get if need be. Notice though, most films with improv don't have a lot of camera movements, or mid scene angel changes. It's so they do not have to worry about that and can...

LOL. I hope that is the case. But still doesn't make any sense as he posted it online. Oh well. They can repeat it for sure. But it is never the same. When you shoot a film you are looking for those spontaneous moments to capture on screen. Just telling someone to say something they made...

Shouldn't you cast the best actors that you can cast? I say this, there are a lot more great actors out there than great directors. When you improve you don't/shouldn't repeat each line for each take. That really doesn't make any sense. That will ruin the moment that was captured and defeat...

You not wanting to use celtx is a bit alarming. It's so simple and as another user said it formats perfectly. At least learn how to format correctly if you will not use it. It is good that you want to have actors really own the words. But there is a better way to go about it. What I do is...

True, there have been good movies with so so acting (Speed is a great film, but not because of Keanu Reeves, that's a film where the director nailed everything else right). But I would say that at the end of the day it's all about the drama. Remember The Cider House rules? The story wasn't...

You do make good points. But I am talking about people who actually understand how to speak to actors, how to inspire and really direct. That is few, far, and between. A lot of young directors are only concerned about visual telling a story. So when they get on set they have no idea how they...

I don't get it, why are so being so negative to yourself? You need to realize that if you really do believe it will be bad then it will be awful. And there is no reason to make something that will be bad. You mentioned Nolan's first film. I enjoyed Following and many critics did (80% on...

Totally disagree. I've worked with directors and even acting professors that had no idea how to direct me or really anyone. In the directors case they were more concern about visual and neglected the human aspect of film. As for acing professors that basically boils down to a class becoming a...

500 Days of Summer had very little camera movement. All of Richard Linklater's films have minimal camera movement. All of Neil Labute's films have little camera movement.

First off what's with this "everyone's first feature is bad" b.s? There have been too many directors that have made great films their first time out (Spielberg, The Coen Brothers, Sam Ramini, Jason Reitman, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Taratino, Sofia Coppola, etc, etc, etc). I am in pre...
