I have an LLC in Ohio. It's fairly simple to get here. I think it cost $60 or $90. There is no yearly fee or tax and it protects you very well. I did not consult a lawyer and drew it up myself using a great resource- the LIBRARY. There are tons of great law resources there, kept up to date. I...

LOL! But the concept is excellent. We do something similar called "Fishboning".

Johnny and I will be at T-10 days or so from ending principle photography on "The Rapture" so we should be mostly recouperated by then. :) If we make Cleveland our meetup spot, Johnny knows many good things to do in his neck of the woods. And he loves to take people to the C&Y Chinese...

Not too terribly far from me Coot, maybe a 1 1/2 hour drive for me. It's southeast of where I live, Port Clinton, off SR 250. I haven't been there since high school debate team so it could be fun. :)

Hmmm. This has possibilities. It would need to be handled very carefully or it will be wildly uneven. Thanks for explaining, Dennis.

I seem to remember elsewhere in the thread, someone (Contempo?) saying that stringing together stories with just a pen seemed too much like a bunch of disconnected shorts. Sorry that I don't have the direct reference here. Have we lost our "mo" (momentum) on this? Fewer and fewer posts coming...

If you look at the last few pages of the story development for the IT Movie, you will see Clive and I brainstorming for the group. He liked my initial idea and we asked each other questions, and answered questions, until I felt that I could 'go it alone'. I have co-written with my husband, but...

Thanks for the reassurance Kane and Dennis. I am not taking my ball and going home or anything. :) Life's a bit dicey at the moment as I have to move out of my 3 bedroom, two story home in two weeks to downsize to a 2 bedroom, 1 story apt. (YIKES!) My gut feeling is that if you guys like...

daniel, Remember, no one is bashing you here. They are truly trying to help. You want help with a logline that will inspire people toward your film. There are few people better to look to here than Clive. He may sound a bit tough to you, but it's tough love. Keep at it and good luck. :)

Congratulations man! That's a brass ring moment there- an agent. :) I want me one o' them someday.

Yes. It seems that most of the guys would like something other than a multi-generational drama. I have no problem there. That's what this thread was for, puzzling out what we want to do with the concept of an IndieTalk movie. Poke, thank you for your inspiration of the 'pen' idea. It was a...

congrats! That kind of busy is definitely good. :)

While I understand the wont you guys have to do something that is twisted or edgy- "indie" by it's current definition, I agree with Clive and thank him for his comments. If surrealism is the route the majority wishes to take, so be it. I think this group will work their guts out for a good film...

Oh my God. That is so tragically funny. Twisted beyond words. It's frightening that Dave felt the need to stay on course, no matter what. Reminds me a bit of a "Vacation" film.

BTW- the way I saw the grandparents finally dealing with the role they played in their son's death was for the granddaughter to show them his writings, which detail his descent into madness... Yet another way to use the pen in the father's story. So guys, we're liking this storyline or hating...

Haven't read it, but I will go to the library asap and look him up. I've written several scripts, although none with this level of conflict. I am relishing the task. Everyone here's going to work on it together, right?

I saw the family as Jewish- likely the parents children when their families emigrated to the US at the end of WWII. German, French, English would all work. The pen could be one of the only items that the great grandfather had successfully brought from abroad. I agree that character development...

My husband weighed in with his take on the pen... Throwing it out there for you... The pen is a way that the father sometimes communicates with his loved ones from beyond- not in a creepy way, though. Example: When the daughter writes her letter to her family, his words come through. Example...

Sorry to monopolize guys, but I have a more promising idea for how the pen moves on... After the big 'todo' with the grandparents, the daughter prepares to move on into her new life, passing the pen on to her younger brother, an arrogant ivy-league over-achiever who has always lacked...

Oh, and with the pen idea- I don't think we need to think of it as something with multiple shooting crews. One crew can shoot the vignettes, another crew can edit them, etc. Just felt I should clarify. And thank you Poke for the compliment. How does the pen move on from this story to the...
