Flicker: Can't tell you just how much I enjoyed reading that review, sir! Very, very cool! I'm really glad you and your wife enjoyed the film! Thank you again! :D Wheat: Thank you for the order! You'll be pleased to know there is ZERO profanity in the film. The only thing that comes...

Thanks, man! It shipped out at lunch today. ;) I hope you enjoy it! :D

I realized I never did a follow-up post once the DVDs went live on Amazon! (Hope it's ok to include this link here.) Hickory Never Bleeds - Available on DVD at Amazon.com If you buy it and don't like it, just lemme know and I'll refund you! But if you're a fan of dry southern humor, you...

I find that adding bright practicals is a huge part of it. Car headlights, a strong flashlight, etc. When we see that a practical light is being used by the character, it helps sell the idea that it's night time. Expose for the brighter lights and let most of the rest go black. Highlights...

Thanks, guys! I have really appreciated your support/encouragement along the way. I do indeed have t-shirts (though not exactly as you describe - those sound great!) Here's what they look like: http://www.hickoryneverbleeds.com/shop/ (Though if you're interested, just message me directly...

Hey guys, thanks for checking it out! Flicker: Thanks a lot, man! DVDs will be available on Amazon Feb 23rd. :) http://www.amazon.com/Hickory-Never-Bleeds-Frank-Ladner/dp/B00B66AXPO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360432438&sr=8-1&keywords=hickory+never+bleeds

Just put up a 2nd trailer for the film and wanted to share it with you guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhtqlXbsyE8 Hickory Never Bleeds - Official Trailer 2 Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks, everyone! :) Wheat, I appreciate the tip! Just added it to my WAB watch list w/ a deadline reminder.

Thankfully she got a chuckle out of my initial email and came back with a link to their submission form and a fee waiver code. Turned out nice. :)

Thanks, Steve! I do not. :( Sent it to a couple of big ones over that way but didn't get in.

Any way we can um... delete this thread? LOL!

Well... as it turns out... this wasn't a scam. I feel like an idiot. (Darn all the scam emails for making me gun-shy.)

Hrm... In doing further research, I did learn "@TribecaFilmFestival.org" is actually listed on Tribeca's contact page. (Cara is one of the programmers, btw... but I didn't give much credence to that, as the email address is the main thing.) So seeing as how Tribeca owns the .org domain, I'm...

Here's another scam email to add to the list. Of course, the ACTUAL festival site is tribecafilm.com... NOT TribecaFilmFestival.org. The biggest clue for me was the fact that Tribeca would NOT directly email some country boy about his bizarre, southern sci-fi mockumentary. Heh. ;) I...

Thanks for sharing this. Got a similar email yesterday (right down to the "wonderful film" part.) Although mine was from "Evan Greene" (Hrmmmm...) Not on the up-and-up.

Ahhhh... I guess this didn't show up on the search because it hadn't been indexed yet. (?) At any rate, this is good to know. Thanks, Zensteve!

I was contacted by someone from "Film Marketing Services" (filmmarketingservicesDOTcom) in regards to distribution of a film I recently completed. Did a search here on IndieTalk for the name/website (as well as the contact's name) expecting to read about others' experience with them, but didn't...

All great advice so far! I agree with what the others are saying. Sound is key. The documentary can be shot on VHS but you'll want crisp, clear sound. Some other stuff, which you may already know: - Ask open-ended questions, as opposed to yes/no answer stuff. Imagine the audience having...

Knightly: Thanks for the links! Building the actual element is a good next-step. :)

For anyone looking to get a low-quality vocal sound in their recordings (ie. telephone conversation effect, or grungy low-fi vocals in music), this may be of interest: More information available here: http://www.frankladner.com/homemade-microphone-for-low-fi-vocal-recording/ The electronic...
