    Disagreement over actors, experience and paying people

    Make sure you do a good job at pre production. There will always be times that the unexpected happen. Make contingency plans in case somebody gets sick and be sure you get enough coverage. Always check and backup your files. Have fun and talk to more experienced people about suggestions.

    MONEYTALK: People want our videos for commercial use - NOW WHAT!?

    If I Sell My Horror Script via a Lawyer -

    Agree with directorik. With the entertainment attorney selling your script. he is doing part of the duty of an agent and manager. In this case, you can save some commission as long as he is working in your interest.

    Fair producer's percentage

    Definitely agree with others. Just ask. If it is something you think is unreasonable, you can negotiate or at least ask for time to think about it. There is even the possibility that he will ask for less than you are thinking.

    Gotta warn you all about Galactic Sci-Fi Film Fest

    Having been part of helping to organize several different film festivals in the past, I or someone always responded to questions and made sure to confirm with the people who were selected. One of them even arranged for lodging, gratuity and transportation from the airport.
