    How do you Keep Your Investors Happy?

    I'm horrible at this...but you need to update them all the time. Create a schedule where you update them on your goals and accomplishments. They don't want to waste their time, and they don't want too much detail...but always think from their perspective. Why did they give you the money...

    "The Exchange" - Almost finished!

    It's ugly right now and should be finished in about 10 hours, but it will be a useful tool for filmmakers who are well organized and know what items they are going to need on set. 1) You will be able to create a laundry list all the props, wardrobe (tangible things - and more) you will need on...

    Using a famous person's name

    You can not use Sinatra and have the character be a singer who sings smooth notes...like sinatra. You can use sinatra if he is a dog catcher and has nothing to do with singing, and he can't look like him. UNLESS the person in question has entered the public domain. You can do a napoleon...

    dialogue How can I convey this, without dialogue?

    Make him dispose of it in some way, and then, the character that he trusts the most (and the audience knows that) ask him what he is doing. Then make him say it was nothing or lie about it.

    Film Freeway

    I totally agree. What's crazy is filmfreeway toppled wob recently in all aspects. Traffic, users etc. WOB is now trying to compete on a financial level. They sent my competition a request to join for free and a comparable cost structure to FilmFreeway. Ugh, what a nightmare to navigate their...

    short film script competitions

    Thanks Filman! The concept is the strength! We've been working really hard on all the coding and it leaves us little time to 'advertise'. Which, you can imagine we all hate to do. Necessary evil... ugh. I can't wait to get this baby started! It would a dream to help out skilled filmmakers and...

    archived-videos Animated movie about prison break

    First off....congrats. I liked: The faces, character movement, music. I don't understand the credits at end about the music... I didn't like: Why did you do it in English? Why not your native language? Some unnecessary shots...the bottle of sleeping pills. The speed of the fast clock should...

    How does directing work, exactly?

    If you take a look at twilight's extra features or any huge film, they don't storyboard everything, they go nuts and do a 3d CGI mockup of the ENTIRE film. They don't waste any (or barely any) creative time on set. They've done it all in pre production. Every angle, every camera movement. they...

    Dear Festivals, please get with the times

    Doesn't it depend on the theater they are using? And don't forget the Union that controls the projectors. It might not be possible to just hook up a laptop to the technology the theater has. At Writers and Filmmakers.com we aren't renting a theater to show the winners (yet), but our website is...
