Excellent point! For us the casting began as soon as the actor walked through the door. I kept a "Red Flag" list and wrote down any actor who gave some indication they would be hard to work with like complaining as soon as they arrived or being rude to the casting assistant. I think I had about...

The way I did it was rent out a playhouse in Santa Monica, CA. It actually wasn't that expensive. I would get a room in your school, or some type of establishment that's not your home. It's awkward coming to someone's home for an audition. Bring a video camera. First you email them "sides" a...

Just curious, do people actually buy short scripts?

Always, Always, ,Always, Always, Always, ALWAYS USE RELEASE FORMS! IS that clear enough!;)

I kinda liked it. Read the whole 5 pages. You took what was a very dramatic and scary situation and found the humor in it. I suggest just getting a camera and some funny people and just shooting something to get the feel of how your dialog sounds out of real people's mouths. For me it was...

"Doctor" Indiana Jones PHD is referred to as "INDY" throughout the entire script. http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/RaidersoftheLostArk.pdf Pick a short name for your character like "Bond" for James Bond and use that throughout. Works for Indy and 007!!!

Hi Spencer, RE: You sample script… Please don't hate me for this feedback. But I'm a bit bothered by the following character description. KATY (late teens/early 20’s) I seems like it has to be one or the other. 23 yrs old is "early 20's, 19yrs is late teens. That's a very different set of...

I feel like this point is pure gold: "So instead of pushing the movie, my instinct was to push the fact that we had a lot of stuff going for us behind the scenes, like gear and great crew," Thanks for sharing, Kholi!

It seems like your chances of getting 10,000 views on Hulu are like 100 times more than getting 10,000 PAID downloads on iTunes. How many Indie films with NO stars have you paid to download from iTunes in the last 6 months? How many films have you watched for free on something like Hulu? For me...

Well done! Congrats Wheat! Thumb firmly UP!

Filming a feature on video in the 90's was pretty much unheard of. Mark Pirro did some "cult" films in late 80's and early 90's on Super 8mm http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089823/technical

You might want to start a film/screenwriting "meet up" group on meetup.com. I think it's free. https://secure.meetup.com/register/

Here' s great scene to help us understand editing. The close-ups show us what we can't see in the long shots and vice versa. http://youtu.be/sXldafIl5DQ

How about Sixty-Nine She Devils of the KGB?

How about "Shedevils of KGB" ? drop the "thirsty" too long I think.

Guerrilla is right, it's about story, not elaborate scenes. If you can't think of small cast movie ideas login to Netflix. hulu of whatever and watch a classic film. Example Hitchcock's Rope http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040746/ I count NINE actors not counting 'Hitch" walking down the street. ;)

Clerks was shot on an Arri 16 SR2. Are you saying that's a crappy camera? I would think with a decent lens any 16mm film camera is going to give you a good image if the DP is skilled. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109445/technical Clerks. (1994) More at IMDbPro » ad feedback Camera...

Looks good. You have the only sound engineer that owns a suit and tie! :lol: ...kidding

Thanks, that's good to know. The $750 fee means you have to generate $1,500 in ad revenue on Hulu to break even at 50% rev share. It's possible. Of course you'll never know what Hulu is really making off the ads. However, it's a decent option for Indie Movies. No fee would be swell though ;)
