So far the best way to glue popcorn to canvas is using 3M #6070 foamspray. It holds the best.

I used to make popcorn chains for the Christmas tree and found that only very old popcorn would not break if jabbed with a needle. Time consuming for the amount of popcorn needed. #M not only makes #77 but also a foamspray #74, but it seems harder to find. Goung to Michael's and Joann's this...

I need to glue a LOT of popcorn onto a large canvas so it can be draped over a manakin and look like we buried someone under a ton of popcorn. So far contact glue will soak into the canvas but not adhere the popcorn. Hot glue will be too slow because it has to be done on the location set...

Peter, Some people will resist doing it any other way than just the way they thought up, especially those who are not organized. Your article is for those of us who appreciate doing better each time by learning what works for others and can be adapted for our own use. For those who want to...

What the hell is so difficult to pronounce "Ahnold"?

Thunderclap, It appears that one of the studios involved where Reed Martin pitched his script was Universal, which is one of the entities now in the lawsuit along with Jarmusch, who took credit for the screenplay.Jarmisch may have been approached by the studio (Univeral) to write the script...

Broken Flowers, a film by Jim Jarmusch may have been a pitch by someone else before Jarmusch wrote his script. Saw an interesting report on CNBC and read the following article on Variety: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117942433?categoryid=22&cs=1&query=reed+and+martin&display=reed+martin...

writer's guild registration Knightly, Not really. In the past, some studios would read a script and call in the writer to a discussion of "we are already in development for a project like that...what else have you got?" Sometimes they are fishing and sometimes they see if they can get away...

legal paperwork Coot Dog, If Keith and I do JV, we will sign a contract as such. This particular non-disclosure statement is so he can read my two scripts and protects both him and me about copyright issues. If he likes the scripts and agrees to do a joint venture with me, he will be one of...

Coot Dog, Funny thing about the SonnyBoo example; It's in pdf form, which cannot be changed due to the lack of the writing software for Adobe Acrobat. The SonnyBoo example is a good one, but it also is used for a "writer to producer" contract, not a joint venture, so we went to his lawyer for...

I did the google first, but found nothing worth using. Fortunately I had another filmmaker send a good template. I am a writer, but not a lawyer. Thanks anyway. WC

Well, that was a bust. It has nothing to do with being an employee for a company and a company idea.

I am considering a JV with a fellow filmmaker, and his attorney wants us to sign a non-disclosure statement before they read my script. Anyone have a generic non-disclosure statement I can use as a template? wC

Logan, Linda McAlister is also my talent agent. see http://www.mcalistertalent.com/ Also for non-union talent is http://www.kmagency.com/content/about_us.html No one in Dallas reps' Directors. WC

Going to a set location today with my DP, my SFX guy, my co-producer and a fellow filmmaker bud who will grip for me. It's a 30 sec. Spec. Commercial to be shot here in Dallas on June 6th. I still need extras and PA's. The Board of Directors of the"Former Texas Rangers" are now reading my...

If you want distribution, yes. Distributors may not even talk to you if you do not have E&O.

KG, I have never known Starbucks to offer the Wi-Fi free. They have a contract with Verizon here in TX and it's $30/mo., which I consider steep ($360/yr?) Some Mom and Pop places are free and some municipalities are thinking of free wireless inside their city limits in order to attract more...

Logan, Check out SAGINDIE at the following address for the short film contract: http://www.sagindie.com/contracts/Short%20Film%20Agreement2005WM.pdf Good luck. Rsqrd

Finished the script. The Protagonist fails to arc, but the "second" lead makes some interesting choices. Since it is an adaptation of a famous novelist, the script is faithful to the original story. Should make for some spectacular scenes and opportunities for several good actors to show...

I wonder if there were any readers involved. I stated that as is, whether a shooting script or not (I refer to these as a production script), the writer still breaks a lot of "rules" but the story stands on it's own. Anyone who reads the script entirely can see the great promise it holds...
