I'm not an idiot, but right now I feel like one. I just had an interview for a job to produce a series of documentary features for a community college that just got a grant. I'm in the running with 3 other filmmakers and my prospects look pretty good. I have a documentary of my own under my...

I attended the Shocker Film Festival and had a great time. The festival director was awesome and gave good attention to the film makers. I loved the seminars they had and found myself wishing I could go to all of them. I attended screenplay writing with Dan Decker author of Anatomy of a...

Being a former Orlando resident and having attened a film school in Orlando (not Full Sail) I feel I can offer some advice. Full Sail is a genuine film/mulit-media school. They have primo equipment, but you will pay a primo price for it. I have known some graduates of Full Sale to be very...

I'm a film maker who has submitted to, been accepted by, and in turn attended a few festivals. Here is what I look for in a festival when submitting my work: Is is close to home? If it's close enough to where I live and I get in, I might be able to go. I rarely attend festivals that are out...

I liked it. I liked how you took everyone in and out really quick. I wished that you had held some moments out a little longer in places. I felt like if I blinked I would miss something. You're either very brave or very weird. I don't think I could have taped my own surgery.

Freelancer. It's tough because you're out of work a lot of the time. The trick is instead of saying you're unemployed, just say you're on vacation. And never stop looking for that next job. When I first got my start, I went to the local community college's video production guy and...

What if you never show the actual hit at all? It could play something like this: Shot of car screaming down the road Shot of person turning wide eyed toward the car Shot of person in foreground car coming at them in back ground Cut to white Sounds of crashing, glass breaking, and body thumping...

Thanks for the input. It feels really good to be praised a lot, but I like getting criticism too. It's hard to view your own work objectively, so it's nice to hear how it can be improved from an outside perspective. You're right about the dialogue, it was all looped except for 2 lines because...

Vanity Mirror was shot on 16mm black and white reversal film with an Arri S. Katie

Thanks The accordian player is my friend and a wonderful DP, Sean, who I was able to convince to do this movie because I told him he would only be in 5 shots. He loves working behind the camera and hates to be in front of it. I had a friend do the transfer for free so I wasn't picky when I...

Wanted to share a movie of mine with everyone. This is a short (TRT about 8 minutes) horror film called "Vanity Mirror." To see the movie go to: http://www.fanflicks.com/tickets/vanity.htm To learn a little more about the movie check out the web site at...

I'm currently out of Asheville, NC and will work for food. I would be willing to direct and/or do anything in the camera department especially cinematography, providing I like the story being told. I'm also a photographer and will shoot productions stills at cost for all my indie friends...

My advice? Don't buy any equipment. I don't have any equipment to speak of (expept my still cameras) and I still make movies sometimes on film sometimes on video. How do I do it? Beg, Plead, Bribe, Borrow, use what and who is handy, but most of all I just ask. You would be amazed at the...

Vanity Mirror The film that's been accepted is called "Vanity Mirror." I haven't linked it to my page of movies I've made yet, but there is a link through my production company, JKR Productions (www.ktdamien.com/jkr.html). In any case the web site for Vanity Mirror is...

A short horror film I just made was accepted to the Shocker Fest in Modesto, CA http://www.shockerfest.com I've never been to it or heard about it, can anyone give me some info? I'd like to go out to LA at some point and shop my scripts and test the waters to see if I could find any work. I...

I submitted a short to that festival, but it's the first horror film that I've ever made and the only horror genre film festival that I have been to personally is the Saints and Sinners film festival in St. Petersburg, FL. It is a great festival, very small though and it only lasts one night...
