One thing that is very important is getting community support. This includes local filmmakers , business leaders, web designers, others in the creattive community and film buffs. We had volunteers from all ages and walks of life. Students from high school to colleges and even some instructors...

All of the above and more. I used to be involved with one where we had lots of events in addition to the screenings. Some were free and other were for a fee. Ours was international in scope and provided a stipend plus lodging for the filmmaker, some revenue from the screening and the ability...

When I googled I found that there is a doll club. You could contact them for suggestions. dollclubgb@yahoo.co.uk

There are lots of crazy laws and interpretations by the police. Remember years ago someone was arrested in our city for just wearing a holster. Nothing was in it.

A lot of people have been killed by supposedly empty guns.

I would definitely notify the police and get the name of the officer. Just say that you will be shooting on whatever date and time and maybe ask about hiring a police officer for crowd control. If the officer said you can't shoot or asks about a permit, ask him where you can get one quickly...

You might be able to find some stock footage. If you were great at CGI, you could some parts.

I worked on festivals that were for a week.

Maybe date attended. Misc. column re contacts, people in attendance, whether would go again and anything favorable or unfavorable.

$500 seems too cheap. Do you pay your other two workers and will they be helping out? You said that this is 4 days instead of one. Even $800 is too low. A friend with a good reputation in the business charges $1,500 per day. This is just his rate. If he has to hire more people, it will go up.

In addition to what everyone said, there is the possibility of making connections that could be valuable in the future.

You haven't clarified what your deal was with the Financier. That could restrict what you can or can't do. As somebody mentioned, you might be able to reshoot without the actor. The media company might be willing to pay for it, but they could want a bigger slice of the pie.

While you should discuss this with an entertainment attorney, have you told the financier about his buddy? Not knowing the arrangement you have with him, I would think he would be upset if his buddy could cause him financial difficulty.

In our area, high school students get access to equipment through the local public cable. There is money set aside for community work.
