Jerome, can I just confirm that you're willing to entertain the distribution questions and possibly take a look at the distribution proposals of the myriads of indietalk members who are looking to pre-sale a % of their first features? In this case, you're a damn cool bloke (albeit, I don't know...

Join a screenwriters site, script-swap, get feedback - and here's the good part: because you're reading their work, you can assess how well they understand/execute the craft, thus can determine how valid their feedback is. BUT, a valid point is a valid point regardless of who it comes from. You...

It's a British humour thing.

Yes. Every filming endeavour needs a "blue print". Hell, even porn flicks have scripts! MILF approaches Pool-boy, checks out his butt as he scrubs the pool. MILF Oooh, I'm soooo hot today... how long before I can get a dip? Pool-boy lays his mop aside, steps up close to MILF... she OOZES...

Jerome/LA Producer, Thanks for taking the time to make a post; it was never my intention to defame you or your course and am glad that you did not interpret it this way. Firstly, the reason I referred to it as being "grossly over-priced" is because I felt that numerous books are available on...

If you plan on making money out of this, contact some broadcasters to find out if they'd be interested in your idea; you'd probably have to sell to several territories to make back your investment - let alone turn a profit - if you're not shooting some low-key drama (such as BBC's daytime TV...

Since the O.P. is based in Britain, I can confirm that the BFI will not fund a project unless it's through a limited company. Sponsors, investors, and agents of professional crew won't acknowledge you either. The answer about liability was already given. NOTE: when you register with Companies...

- What's the best way to contact a distributor: personal or company e-mail? - Some distributors claim they're willing to get involved early on indie projects (development stage), so how should an unknown approach them: with a brief query featuring the log line, asking if they can submit more...

Here's his site: http://www.distribution.la/ The site looks like a con-job, but he has legitimate claims to knowing his sh*t. I've read Stacey Parks' book and it wasn't much use (to me) - she basically used to be a sales rep and talks about getting a star and sales rep. I only mention her...

Interesting. A pity that I missed the round of questions, as I would have had a few. Please post a link to the article when it's on-line.

To be honest, I can't really tell the difference any more - could you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_shot_in_digital Yeah, digital looked "TV" and crappy 5 years back, but now - especially with digital TVs - and with all the after effects, I not only can't tell the difference, but...

I wondered that too. So basically, it's a "Producer" looking for a writer to knock up his idea... for free? Writers always get the raw deal: less money, less recognition, creative control taken away when "exec's" have other ideas... Why is it that if I see a job advertisement for MacDonald's...

"Please don't answer back (because I'm a pussy)". As someone who enjoys to play a good game, writing one - or on one - is something that appeals to me. I could earn tonnes of cash as a banker, but writing for a computer game would be more appealing. I'm not sure where my "approval" has to...

Cable cam! Thanks.

I've seen this man give similar advice before and if you take anything at all away from this site, it should be this advice. Clerks: Written by a man who wanted to make a film, on the tiniest of micro-budgets. Wrath of the Titans: Written by people who were paid by rich Hollywood executives...

I know that it's the internet and a lot of dicks try to start things I can't even be bothered with, but in this case... You can fvck right off. Edited to point out: Nowhere here did he explain that it was a point-and-click, like Myst. Also, 2D and 3D are often confused by gamers, so for...

I'm thinking of having a shot where it's filmed from over-head, with the camera on a track to follow a character's movement. Please note that this isn't some D.I.Y. job and I simply cannot remember the correct term for this, so came here for help. Thanks.

There's little point in writing something you don't enjoy, but then, not everybody feels that they're ready enough yet to write something good enough to want to make or could sell. So let's put all of that aside... I write, I take a week or two off, I go back, see it again, alter whatever...

I'd be interested so send me a PM, mentioning your rates of pay and I'll e-mail you a screenplay as a sample of work if I like what you're saying. I'm guessing that you're referring to RPGs (Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy) when you go on about good characters and dialogue (even though most of the...
