    Good books for creating a script out of orginal stroy idea.

    Clive said..."Actually, to be honest I don't think it's possible to learn to write movies from a book. " Could not disagree more with you. Why so many people hate book learning is amazing to me. When someone like Robert McKee writes a book on his experience with screenwriting, they need to be...

    Where Are The Smart Investors?

    Indycine, I think he's going to need it. Indiefilmman (I corrected your spelling for you), you're going to need a much better pitch than that for a cool $1M, including a good script and a business plan with prospectus. By the way, your 35% figure is low for a first feature filmmaker's...

    Good books for creating a script out of orginal stroy idea.

    want to make films where to start.

    Andrew, Way to go, Dude. Start, but don't be dismayed with any results. Any writing has a sense of innovation, but will need to be re-written over and over again. To quote William Goldman (the best in the biz) "first drafts are crap" and "writing is re-writing", so look forward to the...

    want to make films where to start.

    where to start Andrew, Good question. Starting does not begin with editing, but ends with editing. Before you edit (post production) you have to shoot your story on film or video (production), and before you shoot, you have to have a script. Writing is the first aspect of filmmaking. If...
