    Pirated Music in Festivals

    I can understand wanting to se a film disqualified if you've spent considerably more time and effort on yours and managed to legally acquire the rights to the music in your film. I'd be pissed as well. Then again, it could be construed as "sour grapes" to ask that the film be disqualified. You...

    Wal-Mart may be the best example of the capitalist ethic, which I suppose means that I'm not actually a capitalist at heart. That's because, according to capitalist ethics, you can never have enough. Wal-Mart is in position to systematically rub out every mom-and-pop store in the country...

If you want a 1:1 ratio, the only way to make sure everything you...

    Without making this a hardcore political discussion, I'll dispute one of Logan's points: true, Wal-Mart got where they are by being innovative and they're not "technically" a monopoly, but seriously, when you're as big a corporate monolith as they are, and you can produce or purchase items at...

    Need Critique of Plan for Low Budget Feature

    As a fellow editor (by day, at least, and "full-fledged filmmaker" on the weekend), I concur with the possibility of painting yourself into a corner with this approach. It "can" be done, but it doesn't necessarily mean it "should" be done. Granted, I've had to save numerous projects that didn't...

    Need Critique of Plan for Low Budget Feature

    Film Plan Hitchcock also had Jimmy Stewart to work with on "Rope" and he wasn't filming it in two days. I think everyone intends to nail every take the first time, but your actors will need to rehearse like crazy in order to get through every scene without a mistake. Shooting in one location...
