    Feeling paranoid?

    I'm not a lawyer either but Did James Cameron need permission to make a "Titanic" movie after others were made several years before? I don't think ANY writer owns the Chernobyl location or disaster. How many WWII movies were made about D-Day or Pearl Harbor? I can write a movie about "Area 51"...

    What am I doing wrong that the script is too long?

    ALL great points! The odds that you need all 134 pages to tell your story are I would say 100,000 to 1. Maybe, maybe maybe you are the ONE genius screenwriter that has this epic tale to tell. Post just the first 2 pages and we'll see if you are "overwriting" BTW - my first feature script was...

    My first Film Poster (Critique please?)

    I think you might be trying too hard. If you check out the Oscar winning movies below, you'll see they are actually very simple images. Try being less complex I would say. You don't have to fill the entire poster with info. hope that makes sense.

    editing How to choose an editor

    Here's an important question. Are they willing to do all the work needed for editing a feature? It's a TON! In a feature the characters evolve and change so small details in one part effect major plot points later. There's a long string of continuity to keep in mind. I've had editors quit on me...

    What am I doing wrong that the script is too long?

    Here are links to 4 major released "professional" screenplays. If your script doesn't look like these, it's in the wrong format! Before the internet I'd have to buy these from a store. ;) http://www.focusawards2011.com/workspace/ttss-screenplay.pdf...

    Good work. The beginning was a bit too slow. THE BEAST had better pacing and suspense. But both are good work. keep it up!

    Amazing short film I came across

    Well done, but honestly I found it rather predictable and got bored with it. Needed some humor or super cool spy devices or something unique we haven't seen before. But thanks for sharing.

    You should do a no-budget medieval feature in a castle. It would be "ALMOST" impossible to pull off. BUT think of the media BUZZ you would create if some film critic liked it.

    Silent Film

    …like a silent POV of deaf main character. Why not film a cheap trailer and post it for feedback? You'll get an idea if it's going to work before designing a ton of visual effects and costumes and Sci-Fi props. Just a thought.

    Not bad. I feel like it needed a "twist" at the end. It's kinda just a flashback. BTW - have you filmed anything in a castle yet?

    Silent Film

    To clarify Do you mean "silent" 1920's style black and white silent film? OR A film shot MOS without sound and dubbed in later like El Mariachi ? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104815/

    Slave Labor Goes Beyond Craig's List

    AMEN!!! Does everyone here pay Union Scale for every job on their production? I didn't I confess. I'm an "under-payer."
