Wow that's short! Are more trailers forthcoming? Viva public domain.

European film festivals, at least some, are free to submit to so that will keep things cheap for you. I'm writing an article on this very subject right now. Will link to it here later next week.

Before I wrote my grant (which didn't get any love) I asked a librarian for help and she showed me way many reference books with pages and pages of resources of people who "give" money away, their addresses, what they fund, etc. As for the question mark guy, his infomercial is pretty tight, but...

Christian Rap? Extra funding is always good times. I wish somebody offered to teach me how to write grants... Good luck Rizien. "You wasted life, why wouldnt you waste the afterlife?" Dude who is that, I heard it the other day.

John-Based on your film's genre I would narrow-down potential european festivals and then visit each festival's web site individually. Most festival sites have very clear guidelines as to what formats they preview films with. I sent my film to 2 festivals in Amsterdam, and both actually...

I have mixed feelings about PRO8. Come to think of it, every film processing place I've dealt with gave me a bad vibe. They seem to be almost annoyed by smaller customers like me. I've used Monaco in SF, a place in Seattle (can't remember their name) and PRO8. Would not recommend any of...

Great ideas about fixing the take-up reel. Will keep you all posted if I fix it. Zen and Will--My humble advice is to be persistent and patient. I've been on the prowl for a super8 projector for months. I was starting to lose hope. But I made it a semi-weekly event to re-visit the same...

Found a Bell & Howell super8 projector at Goodwill (still in the box and with owner's manual) for $6.50 including tax. Works, kind of. The "Take up" reel is on strike, allowing the film to make its way onto the floor instead of being neatly re-wrapped in the reel. Whatev. Did I mention it...

One thing that did bug me was that the pistolero was in arms reach of the guy he was covering. Would not a gunman prefer to stay back enough such that the hostage can't simply smack the gun out of his hands?

That was cool Zensteve. Liked the shot of the car door opening with the sun reflecting all crazy, not sure if you meant to do that. And not to repeat what's already been said, but I thought the acting was good and the story got me interested really quick. If you have not yet seen the film...

Good job! Got my vote. Favorite shots were at the start; the half-eaten sandwich and the water pool accumulating around the character passed-out on the floor. The lighting was great in the kitchen. Did you use a filter? Post-production effect?

Thanks. Sounds like I have an OK chance of it working. May be good for a flashback scene or something.

I have a roll of super8 film from (I think) the late 1970's, it has never been opened (the Kmart price tag says $7.86). I imagine if I use it, the results would be weird-and-dirty-and-messed-up looking. Or it will be returned blank. Was wondering if anybody has shot with an old roll like...

Oops, not the first time my lysdexic-ass screwed up werdz. Signed up for the super size deal (3.75 gigs), and I got 13 months for $95 (they added a free month!). My previous host cost $10/month and I got a whopping 50 MBs of storage. Now I can host my entire 90 minute film Under Nor Cal (in...

Site looks good. and I am probably going to switch to that web site hoster globat too. 2.5 gigs is a lotta media storage for $95/mo.

Here's what I did: eMac G4 with superdrive $1400 FCP3 $1000 2 Lacie External drive 120 gig $240 Canon GL1 MiniDV $2400 Bolex 16mm $800 super8 camera $10 that's about...

Anybody have one to sell? One that still works and has all parts?

I like the new front page. I do not like that when I hit a link, the page layout changes. Confuses my small brain.

My post is a delayed reaction. I voted when it was still possible.

That was funny, loved the hick. And the gum eating bear. Got my vote.
