    Yeah, this actually seems really cool and it's definitely well shot. What's the film called and do you have a website? Two things I'm a bit turned off by, though. First, where in the World did the sheriff come from? Were they in the middle of getting pulled over or something? It seems so...

    lotsa inspiration, lack of focus and some questions.

    This is a pretty loaded question. If you're trying to write about something you know very little about (i.e a film that takes place in the 1800s) find an expert who can work with you on the script...However, since you're just starting out, I'm assuming you don't have the money to outsource that...

    archived-videos The Golden Owl Teaser! (insane super hero)

    This actually sounds like a pretty cool concept but man...Your execution is terrible. Slow down. Think about what you're trying to evoke and develop a plan for getting from point a to z. Also, know where you're strong and where you're weak. Maybe you're a great writer but lack technical...

    archived-videos Three guys on a sofa

    I like the concept and even though it had surprises, which is something key for any comedy, none of them connected to what we experience when we're actually sitting on a couch with two other guys. It was just surprise without any substance so the comedy was watered down. Also, I think you...

    The Power of Discovery in Film ("The Signal" review)

    The Power of Discovery I saw The Signal the other night and fell in love because it reminded me of just how important the element of discovery can be for a film. We always talk about conflict driving a story but, what about discovery? As excited as we are about vicariously enjoying other...

    This looks sick. Do you have a website?

    Which Idea sounds better?

    Hmm, definitely the The first one but, you should have the "nobody" be his cop buddy. That would enhance the emotional response he has and would further justify him becoming the terrorist. Furthermore, the second one is too unbelievable to be true. They would do all that for re-election...

    Is my premise believable?

    First, I gotta say this is a very awesome premise for a movie, though the synopsis is still a bit shaky. What if instead of it taking place at a mental hospital it takes place at a specialty prison for convicted pedophiles. This would be like an experimental prison to see if there is a way...

    archived-videos My Team's New Demo Reel -- Feedback appreciated!!

    What you're talking about kind of reminds me of this interview with Chris Nolan: http://nofilmschool.com/2014/08/christopher-nolan-low-budget-diy-filmmaking-vice-criterion-following/ He talks about developing tactics to quickly make and process a nice looking films. That's what helped him...

    I'm just curious...

    Yeah, you're right. I see what you're saying. I think I know a better place to add this dialogue in. Maybe if I just focus on the love part and announcement of a date later on, I can cut it from there and add in the rest on the date. Thanks for the feedback guys!

    I'm just curious...

    Does this scene feel natural to you guys? (4) INT. SORIN’S KITCHEN – EARLY MORNING (a) Heather stands by the sink, filling a thermos with coffee as she listens to a radio show on her phone. She wears green nursing scrubs. (b) Sorin walks into the kitchen, wearing a blue button down and...

    Man, that was well shot. But, I'm not entirely sure what the point of it was. Might want to storyarch it some how.

    archived-videos My Team's New Demo Reel -- Feedback appreciated!!

    Ah, I gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. See, I've always done film but, I was never really serious about it until recently. Basically film and storytelling was just my brother and I with a hi-8 camera going around and filming stupid videos of us terrorizing the cat, like we were Steve Erwin...

    Wow, you guys just started? I love the OTS action shots. Those are always my favorite. I have a couple of questions, though. Did you have to outsource your special effects designer or did you just happen to know someone? Also how many people make up your production crew and how do you guys...

    How to use Twitter for crowd funding

    Yeah, all those points make a lot of sense. That's why I'm constantly helping other people's campaigns on Kickstarter and sharing other people's content as we build our own. What's working for us is generating an engine where we bounce back and forth between other peoples stuff and ours and...

    Jumping off the cliff...

    Jumping Off the Cliff Confessions from a Transcendental Story-teller It’s scary being a writer and a filmmaker. Every word, every phrase, or idea you put down on a blank piece of paper and on the screen determines whether you sink to the depths of true depression or rise to the levels of full...

    Why Does Art Exist?

    I think it would be cool to see a company grow from the Internet and really extend beyond that. Like, if they could somehow figure out a way to create a self-sustaining engine built on viewership, ad/product revenue, and syndication along with good old fashion crowd-funding and then expand into...
