Sounds like a plan. All the best to you, Nate.

Nate, you are confusing wealth and worth. There are many despicable people with incredible wealth and many amazing human beings with nothing. I know you know this, but you don't seem to accept that there are valid reasons for this. We can value people highly without ever contributing to their...

I don't get this analogy. Of course analogies are never perfect, but you haven't been saying "transportation" or "giant speaker car from Mad Max". The fact is most people here wouldn't say "transportation". Most people here would say "giant speaker car from Mad Max". Most of us would say it...

Nate, this is so much clearer and better I have to ask... why did it take so long to get to this description? I get that you are also trying to build Save Point using a different model for production, but couldn't that also be simplified into something like "I'm looking for people to help build...

I'm not sure that's right. People want to see their projects brought to life, whether they want anyone of us to help is not a given. They want people that can help realize their project. A shade of difference. There is some black and white thinking here. While there are some examples of...

Okay, thank you. This will help me formulate a response to your last post. FYI, I could care less if you have ulterior motives for asking things. That's just fine. In fact, at this point, you put it out in the open. It's hardly ulterior any more.

I've read through your last post a few times and tried to digest it, but I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to communicate. If I understand your initial post, you were asking "why don't people want to join groups?" You went on to point out that together a group is far more likely to...

I think sfoster is dead on. You want people to work on your projects, work on theirs. I went to film school 30 years ago. I spent the next 10 years working in the industry. I couldn't make a decent living of it, so I went and got a real job to support myself. I've continued the last 20...

Yeah and he can say "How do you like them apples, Matt!" as he's blasting him. A French word for potato is pomme de terre, which literally means "apple of the earth".

I'm preparing my team for the 48 Hour Film Project in Los Angeles. The 48 is a film competition where you have 48 hours to write, shoot, edit and deliver a 4- to 7-minute film. It takes place next weekend August 6-8. I'm still looking for an editor (Premiere preferred) and a sound designer...

I think you touched on this in the car chase discussion earlier, but couldn't Save Point be a good pre-visualization tool for filmmakers?

That level of detail was based on your description. It sounded like this is close to the final version you want to present.

My feedback: I don't like the voice used for narration at all. Drop the narration after "no matter what kind of artist you are" (0:17), pick it up again on "Here's how it works" (0:30) Audio levels between narration and music fluctuate too much. Music too loud around 0:50 up to 1:10. Then...

"Twilight". My least favorite genre is Young Adult. But, as a filmmaker I've watched a number of them ("The Hunger Games", "Maze Runner", "Love, Simon", "The Book Thief") to see how the stories work and why they might appeal to YAs. While "Hunger Games" wins on spectacle, I found "Twilight"...

I'll add that as a Producer, if I read a script I really liked and the inciting incident was on page 30, I would probably meet with the writer and see if they were open to moving it forward. I would guess that the writer was an amateur -- most experienced screenwriters know that a modern movie...

I've never heard of readers turning to a specific page to look for something and discarding a script if not there. While not hired as a reader, one of my first jobs was reading scripts for an independent producer. He told me to "read the first 10 pages and the last 10 pages and if they seem...

Indeed, you are. Congratulations to @Scoopicman and @CamBlamo

I'm very sorry to read this about getting stiffed. It makes me very upset to hear when someone takes advantage like that. Yes, all you can do is press on.

Well @Nate North , I certainly don't want to be a damper on your ambitions, but it seems to me going from 12 people to 5,000 would be quite a stretch. Also, if indeed 5,000 people were to be signed into the site, using your 1 in 100 ratio, that would net 50 people for your project. I'm curious...

Alright then. I see over 28K people are members of this forum. Right now, there are almost 300 visiting, only 6 are members. When you say a few thousand, do you mean a few thousand additional members (over the 28K already registered) or that at a given moment a few thousand are actively...
