Was it the Easyrig Cinema 3?

Given your talent and resources, would you be able to make any movie not relying on special effects "cinematic"? Very talented individuals with the right resources can make almost any subject matter cinematic. As AudioPost so aptly suggested, do you have the talent and resources to pull it off?

There are several plays that have become movies. http://www.popmatters.com/review/big-kahuna/ However, even with great actors and being cinematic does not mean that it will be a box office success.

In addition to what Rik said, your contract should tell what you can't do and/or if the producer is entitled to all revenue. If it isn't spelled out, you would have to check with an attorney.

Received an email with a link for a free webcast from Jerom Courshon on distribution. https://ifamasters.vhx.tv/screeners/85bee112 It will supposedly only be available for 24 hours.

The International Screenwriters Association http://www.networkisa.org/ has some good free resources and you might want to listen to some of the future and old podcasts. I would take up directorik offer to help.

You said that you weren't from the US, so the first thing would be sure you have all the paperwork necessary to work here. Florida has a film tax credit http://www.eisneramper.com/Florida-Film-Tax-Incentives.aspx. Stacey Parks has a lot of free information on her site and if interested you...

I would talk to a good insurance agent to see if you can get some type of insurance on you. Do not know the laws in Europe. We have people working for free, but there are different types of insurance coverage in the US.

There's a pdf of part of it. http://artsites.ucsc.edu/faculty/gustafson/FILM170B.W12/bresson2.pdf You might want to check the internet for other used book stores to see if you can get a better price. From a quick check, it seems to be around that price.

I love your advice and information. While many general ideas stay the same, technology has changed many methods and requirements. I remember when the Ikegami video cameras were the state of art with the potential to shoot movies and convert to film.

I dealt with films in the 70s and early 80s. Many weren't Dolby.

They usually have knowledgeable people that can help you with questions about products.

When you mentioned a print for theatre, I was thinking of the normal release ones. "Release prints are generally expensive. For example, in the United States, it is not unusual for each one to cost around $1,500 to print and ship to theaters around the country. "...

It used to be about $1200 for a fiim print and you could ship them through the P.O. I did have an uncle who was a projectionist in the 30s through the 50s and maybe a part of the 60s. That was before platters. Had a friend who has a theatre who had to convert to digital. He ran festivals out...

There are lots of activities going on. You can check Craigslist, Newenglandfilm.com, Hollywood East to name a few. There is probably more activity in the Boston and South Shore area.

The agent should have discussed deliverables and potential costs. They could vary a lot depending on agent and distribution. Some don't bother with E & O insurance, because their contract is worded so that you will be the only one sued.

Whoever you get to distribute, make sure you get an experienced entertainment attorney to check over the contract. Make sure you get reports monthly, have a cap on expenses, performance criteria or the film goes back to you, and try and give rights for as short a period as reasonably possible.

Depends on the festival. See what played in the past and who audience is. Should be necessary part of story.

I only did a quick look at your list. You might want to call B & H and talk with someone there to be sure it will be sufficient for you needs. Not sure of your ceiling size, but the LEDs might not provide enough light depending on project.
