    archived-videos DETOURS now available on Tubi

    @mlesemann Did you have the option for how many ads play during the film? Or does Tubi decide for you? I was shocked to have only watched two ads throughout Detours' entirety.

    archived-videos Indie of the Month February - Movie Poster

    I was only giving my own personal criteria. I wasn't looking for criteria to be given for the contest. I think the same way about movie posters in general. I keep going back and forth on a couple of different ones. I should just pull the trigger on one.

    archived-videos Indie of the Month February - Movie Poster

    I know that I am torn between a couple different options. For me, we have a lot of great posters. Last month, I knew exactly which trailer I wanted to vote for, but this month is different. Do I vote for the poster that seems to represent the film's message best or the poster that I would most...

    news Vertical Movies, Here We Come: First Up Is Timur Bekmambetov’s $10 Million War Drama

    I don't know if blockbuster, $10 million, and war film belong together...but I am not surprised by this announcement. I have been waiting for the first vertical feature that has a chance of finding an audience. The question is whether or not this can inspire someone that will make a feature that...

    news Rose McGowan Slams Portman’s Oscars Protest Dress: ‘She’s Worked With Two Women Directors’

    I feel a little torn on this myself. McGowan may have a point but we don't know all the details. How many female directors have offered Portman a job? Portman gave her response which boiled down to her attempting to produce female directed features but the financial backers wouldn't show up. Is...

    news It Took Roger Deakins Decades to Win an Academy Award, Now He’s Won Two Oscars Two Years Apart

    I agree with you, @Cracker Funk. That movie was so beyond beautiful. He lost to Life of Pi that year and the next year he lost to Gravity (Deakins was the cinematographer on Prisoners). Both movies were technical achievements from a directing standpoint but I don't know if they were better than...

    The latest short I was DP for released on Friday. It was shot over a single weekend. If you paid attention to the IOTM trailer contest, then you have seen the trailer. Here is the final product, hope you all enjoy.

    sound Article About Sound-For-Picture

    Very interesting read. I would have thought on lower budget films, the percentage of the budget suggested would have been higher than 10%.

    licensing One-time licensing of my video...

    Definitely, a cool video. I can see why it went viral. I will say that because I am currently under the weather that it definitely made my head spin and caused a rare bout of motion sickness. As for your question, well, I don't know the exact answer. Has anyone ever licensed it before? Did...

    series Glow on Netflix

    I loved the first season of the show, but I didn't feel a reason to watch the second season. When I finally got around to watching it, I haven't felt a need to finish. Netflix doesn't release info on viewer details so it makes me wonder if the show saw a sharp decline in viewership but that they...

    series The Mandalorian

    I am glad you ended up enjoying it @Feutus Lapdance. If I felt a show wasn't much more than fan service after 3 episodes, I wouldn't have completed it. I enjoyed this first season so much. The only episode that really let me down was episode 4. It just never felt right and I was dreading knowing...

    critique Feedback needed

    I read the first few pages. I will be honest and say that your dialogue doesn't feel natural. Enjoyed your descriptions and actions, though. Your first page was pretty much absent of grammatical errors but increased as I kept reading. Grammar was the main reason I quit reading.

    blog Making a Low Budget Sci-Fi Film

    Screenshots look really cool. Little tidbits you are showing are doing a great job of hyping the product.

    series The Mandalorian

    Interesting point of view @Feutus Lapdance. I feel like the body language is more than sufficient, but I have always enjoyed someone with a full mask on when the actor can showcase emotion, or lack thereof, through just their body. I feel like @sfoster explained the interaction with Greef pretty...

    news Ignore the Screams

    Stories like this are why regular people never believe me when I say I am filming a small movie. They think something like this is happening or that I am actually making porn. This story was especially gut-wrenching.

    series The Mandalorian

    As a huge Star Wars fan, I latch on to every live action piece and every book. I hated that the old EU was de-canonized, but I understood why. In order to create episodes 7-9, they either had to do what they did or just adapt stories that were already out there. If I were in charge, I probably...

    misc People going back to physical media.

    I love physical media, but I understand why so many are moving away from it. For us filmmakers, what does our physical media offer over digital? The extras! But most people don't care about those. We need to give people a reason to buy ours, but I can't think of anything that will entice most...

    campaign INFINITUS - A short poetic SciFi Film using Practical FX

    You keep making me want to watch this. Admittedly, $10 for a short seems a bit much, even though this does appear high concept. Are you going to release a full trailer before the campaign ends? I may have a little money after Christmas. I would love to be able to see this before it has to make...

    directing Who here is making a movie or short film?

    I see where you are coming from, but no one is meant to recognize the spirit. I want to be able to show the spirit in the background a few times. Doing so and making the creature an exact representative of the Native culture (I can't even remember the tribe who inspired his story) could be seen...
