    Problems with length.

    I didn't read the script. There are few things you can do. Because it is a 400 page script, I assume there may be few subplots. See if you could take out a subplot or two to see whether the story would still function. Also, don't feel the need to explain everything. Some backstory can be left...

    The Academy Awards

    Instead of just saying, films with those calibers exist today, can you name just 2 or 3 films for each year - 2016, 2017 & 2018? Again, I agree that to some extent awards may be political but not completely as you say. Last year, not just Oscar, most critics chose Gary Oldman as Best...

    The Academy Awards

    True, bad films have always been made. But it is hard to see films with extra-ordinary calibers like The Godfather, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, The Sound of Music these days.

    The Academy Awards

    There are always snubs & surprises & some biases in the Academy Award but I wouldn't go that far to say it's fixed. None of the award ceremony is going to satisfy everyone. When compared to previous Oscar winning films like The Godfather or The Best Years of Our Lives or Casablanca, Bohemian...

    The Academy Awards

    I normally watch the Oscar nominated shorts in Amazon. This year they haven't put up yet. Where did you watch the nominated short films? Also, where do you watch the nominated documentary shorts in general?

    I even thought Won't You Be My Neighbor? would win. Surprising to see that it did not even get nominated.

    Strange but interesting movie poster

    I haven't seen the film The House That Jack Built (2018) yet, but I found the movie posters of this film very interesting. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4003440/mediaviewer/rm842039040 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4003440/mediaviewer/rm892370688...

    Where can I watch these kind of films?

    I wanted to watch this film Museo (2018) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4958448/). But I couldn't find it anywhere. It's not in Amazon, Netflix, Hulu or in itunes. I checked the LA library too and they don't have it. I have many other indie films like this I like to watch but I couldn't find it...

    Unpaid Work

    I am a student and I have worked unpaid. But I got internship credit for the work I did, so I don't know whether that counts. Either way, the link doesn't work.

    Never been this excited in my life!!!

    I go to film school and most of them in my school (considering both Grad and Undergrad) are 18 to 28. There are some above 30. From that perspective, you are either at the right age or even somewhat early. Welcome to film making.

    story A memorable story - what is needed?

    hmm...Ok 3. Conflict in each scene except the Resolution scene. 4. Meaning and emotion. Whatever meaning and emotion the writer has intended, if the audience get that after reading the script and are satisfied with that, it might become a memorable story.
