    Cranking away on the first 10 pages. Really agree with the note about combining the stop n shop with the gas station. That could move much quicker. I will post new pages as I get them for those with interest. On a side note, I plan to use some actors playing multiple roles in costume such as...

    By no means do I not take every criticism or suggestion seriously and value them equally. Its just that the film already has funding, some foreign presales and has gone through several drafts and many readers who have had different opinions. Its not that either criticism isnt isn't valid just...

    I mean it as building slowly to a climax. I am making this film because it's in my heart. Because I will die if I don't. If you are not driven by passion than I would look into that. Not trying to be rude but your questions are confusing to me.

    Thanks for the quick reply. While I see your points the film is no doubt an art piece. It is ment to feel isolated ala limits of control or le samourai. Read the first 20 pages of limits of control and you feel the same things. Its a mystery. Lots pf breadcrumbs no doubt but they do build to a...

    Need some help guys. Got a project coming up and I have two cameras at my disposal. A scarlet and a blackmagic 2.5k and one set of ultra primes.

    clearing cars and food product

    Thanks for the links. I guess my real question is how to aproach this. How much info do I give on the forefront? The film is dark but not exploitation by any means. Is there a chance in hell of getting this through without turning over the entire script?

    Near silent film

    Thanks for all the feedback! What a should have said is "minimal dialogue". The story is told from the perspective of an isolated man who chooses each word carefully. My concern grows from first time jitters as this will be my first writing/directing/self-funded endeavor. People who read say...

    cinematography New to reality

    Just got back from my first weekend. Got a lot of great footage but really understood I need a bigger crew. Three at a minimum. It's not in the budget for lapels and I am concerned the booms are not gonna cut it. My talking heads came out a little underexposed even though I felt it looked good...

    cinematography New to reality

    It's just me. Five days, mostly indoors in the lodges but also in the scatters where the hunt is taking place. No budget really, but I have a lot of equipment like a steadicam, shoulder rigs, sticks, and a full set of red pro primes and the sony is a HDRPJ275. I also have a cheapo set of studio...
