    There will be no screening of Wayward Traveler--The show is over.

    Glad you're feeling optimistic. Good luck! (that's to Wayward..)

    Does a short film have to be that good?

    Smarmy bastards. :P ::Edit:: I was on page 3 and responding to the last few comments on that page. Thought I was on the last page - wasn't. oops. I didn't read through the whole thread - but I've noticed that short films seem to more and more be the proving grounds for directors. Off the...

    There will be no screening of Wayward Traveler--The show is over.

    I think you're right. I don't get it. Taking it at face value - you're completely screwed and there is no hope for recourse. Being that there is no hope for help - I won't try to offer any. Just say it's a shame that some people get screwed, and I'm glad I'm not you. If you're not going up...

    I presumed before you went on this trip you were somewhere in which you were sustaining yourself.. A bus ticket to back there.

    Set me straight!

    I posted something very similar just a few days back. I'm already past that point and figuring out what to do with myself now that I've decided that (for me it was music) music isn't going to be what I do with my life. I'm twenty-eight now, and I was sixteen when I started.. looking back -...

    Maybe append "Staring Daniel Day-Lewis and Sasha Grey" to it.

    logline Help with a logline.

    "Cops disillusioned with the legal system attempt to frame an innocent man suspected of murder." I wouldn't add the new type of evidence bit. I have no stake in trying to sell it so take it with a grain of salt, but it doesn't sound like the driving force of the film, so I'd leave it out...

    * can be between 60 and 80% convincing. :)

    sound Question about how synthesizers work for very low budget.

    Oh OH! Geek-out! Eek.. I've never heard an electric guitar sampled or synthesized well.. (if anyone knows different, point me in the direction.. ) If you want Jazz guitar, make sure the composer plays or can have someone come in that plays guitar.. guitars are common and cheap and It's very...

    Murdock - I think your Kurt Vonnegut quote says it all, really. :)

    First Five pages of "Understood" Screenplay..

    Of course you haven't heard of an Algamerrack. I just invented it. (patent pending) :D I agree one hundred percent. If I wanted to sell a screenplay than that's exactly what I would do. Some points you may have missed: * I hardly think posting five pages written in an evening to an...

    First Five pages of "Understood" Screenplay..

    You can call it whatever you want - It's a piece of writing that's intended as a plan for a film. Call it an Algamerrack. I write Algamerracks. Does the same thing as a screen-play only formatted differently. Gotcha. Mostly seem to get it, but second guess. Knowing that the captions are...

    First Five pages of "Understood" Screenplay..

    - directorik A Haiku is to Poetry as a Screen-play is to what? Anyway - the reaction is knee-jerk, not the thing thats being reacted to.. and I didn't imply that it's unwarranted in any way. If the formatting doesn't work I suppose the most appropriate thing to do would be to comment on why...

    Is narration popular?

    More television, but Grey's Anatomy bookends ever episode with it.. Kinda makes sense in serials.. to help with continuity. Not narration persay, but speaking directly to the audience - I love the titles in "Magnolia". To me in a way the "So now then.." toward the end kind of defines the whole...

    First Five pages of "Understood" Screenplay..

    I think some people see a bear and say "that doesn't make a very good bunny." When I say "get it" that's what I mean. Some of your initial response was "that's awfully big for a bunny.." and some of it was "Does that bunny have four legs or six?" I'm a little concerned about the six legs -...

    Excelent video. Perhaps the "type of person" - but the Alcohol was just an aside..
