DV = film? We've gotten good results by deinterlacing and adjusting the gamma to make the black colors true black. Color correction will help a lot, too (not sure if Premier has this, but Final Cut Pro 3 does). Also, we tend to adjust the image quality a little bit, actually making it lower...

What about Macs? I've found that a good Mac (G4) with Final Cut Pro gives much better performance than a PC with Premiere. My friend's PC crashes all the time. However, we've had our Mac crash on us a few times too, so there's probably no cure all, unless you go for a high-end AVID system. But...

Hey pikachu, if you are in Atlanta, you should check out our group, the Atlanta Screenwriters Group. http://www.atlscript.org/ What have you done here that I might have seen? - Mike.

Chris Gore book I highly recommend a great book by Chris Gore called "The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide" if you are curious about Film Festivals. There's some good advice about what each Festival wants to see. Also, he co-wrote a book with Mark Steven Bosko called "The Complete...

Re: Keep it simple Or just Standoff. Or you could play off the John Woo film and do Stand/Off... (nah, that's lame.) - Mike.

Congrats, Hutch. Can't wait to see it. - Mike.

In which case I would also look into the theater chains, such as AMC and Regal. In fact, if they are a large multiplex cinema they may be MORE willing than a mom and pop theater, since you are not taking away a great percentage of their audience. If the theater has 24 screens, I'm sure they can...

Thanks. Thanks for the comments on the trailer. Hopefully, the film will be making the festival rounds soon. Keep on the lookout for it! - Mike.

Cool, man. Is this a feature or a short? Keep us posted. - Mike.

We can still use some more entries. I've gotten some great films that we'll be screening, but I still have a lot more time to fill. Keep sending in those tapes! - Mike.

Here's the trailer for an indie film I worked on in Atlanta last year. http://www.behindthenine.com/trailer.shtml (streaming) http://www.behindthenine.com/trailers/Bt9_trailer.mov (download) Feedback is welcome (constructive feedback, that is :) ). I'm good friends with the...

Officially, all I can say is to send it in. Unofficially, I'd say your chances are pretty good... :D - Mike.

Length isn't a factor in our judging of the films (unless its something like a 36-hour epic, of course). If we like it, we'll find some way to schedule it. Send it in! - Mike.

There's some really cool shots in this trailer. I especially like the one where the two guys are walking into the room in profile -- very cool shot. The wide shot of the men walking in the field is cool too, very surreal. The only thing I can criticize is that as a trailer, it doesn't tell me a...

Pretty funny. I laughed out loud a few times (especially the swing "incident" at the park). The music was perfect, too. The end was a little too cutesy for me, but all in all, it was a fun little short. Good job. - Mike.

Here's a trailer for "Witch Hunters: Extraordinaire," a local comedy/horror TV series I've been working on. http://www.witchhunterstheseries.com/trailer.shtml - Mike.

Nope, there's no limit to how many you can enter. Look forward to seeing your stuff! - Mike.
