    Hypothetical question here

    Nope. If the money remains then maybe, otherwise shares. That's one of the rules.

    Hypothetical question here

    Hey guys, Sorry, I am the OP and went and just forgot about my post. So many questions...all valid ones. I will clear it out: I want to be a director, I also want to have my own production house someday. I read about Irving Thalberg and Jason Blum and want to have that kind of autonomy. I have...

    Hypothetical question here

    If I tell you to go and make a feature film(haunted house horror) and give you 60,000 dollars for production(includes cast, crew and location) and you have never made a film before...just 2-3 short films. Would you go ahead and make a feature?

    Is this how much money you can make?

    What exactly is skillful direction?

    I found this comment on imdb: I've only seen Scarface and the Untouchables from De Palma (which are considered some of his best) and I don't think he is anywhere close to the other directors mentioned. The movies I watched from De Palma were carried by the actors. The movies didn't look that...

    How to work for SYFY channel?

    I wonder how they function. Like do they hire directors to make a feature film? On what basis, how can one apply? Say I make a horror feature here in my country. Can I take it as a showreel to their office in LA? Anyone has any idea.

    How can you write a scene without the location and logistics?

    I had this discussion with someone: Me: Some scenes the writer should have a say how it must be shot. Him: Only if he's the one doing the shooting, and I can assure you it'll change on the day. Me: In my case, as a writer-director it doesn't matter. Him: It will when you discover nothing you...

    Is it a big deal to get selected for the Cannes short film corner?

    Yeah but it depends on the audience who knows what. Yeah, your father and his friends and your random college audience will be enticed by the SFC tag just because of the tag "cannes". But if that person sits among us I doubt he would even bring it up that he sent his film for the SFC let alone...

    Is it a big deal to get selected for the Cannes short film corner?

    I met my friend today and he told me that there are 90,000 submissions out of which 2000 are selected and played in a booth like thing at the short film corner in Cannes. So it isn't like you pay and you get selected, according to him.

    Is it a big deal to get selected for the Cannes short film corner?

    One of my friends is bragging on facebook on how his short has been selected for the short film corner and will play there in Cannes. He's even been interviewed by the local newspaper and everyone is congratulating him on his wall. I looked it up and it says I must pay a fee. What's the deal?

    Assistant director or 2nd Unit director

    Hey I notice on imdb how many of these 2nd unit director and assistant director have been doing it for years. First what is the difference between 2nd Unit and assistant? 2ndly are these fields necessary to become a director because they seem like they are happy doing just that. Will I have to...

    Minor nuances of actors-Is it improvised or director's call

    :(:( should have paid more attention. I am usually pretty good with these things. Thanks ;)

    Minor nuances of actors-Is it improvised or director's call

    I made a post on how I am finding it tough to put my thought across to actors. Whenever I see a movie I notice how the actors act so naturally. For example in the opening scene of play misty for me where Eastwood is standing on the balcony, he looks to his side, looks straight and then walks in...

    Why don;t you guys just find a rich guy to fund you(and hire his daughter)

    And how am I a troll you idiot? It was a genuine query. I see so many frustrated folks and the primary concern is a lack of funding. My point wasn't to put forth my experience but to ask if others haven't thought of something similar, and if not, why not. Jim Cameron made Xenogenesis(his first...

    Why don;t you guys just find a rich guy to fund you(and hire his daughter)

    I made the proposition to him whilst still studying and because my shorts were winning the first prize everyone was gaga over my work(Our final thesis film I came last:lol:, lesson learnt on modesty). This guy who happens to have 16 factories running across the country has a turnover of 400k a...

    Why don;t you guys just find a rich guy to fund you(and hire his daughter)

    Seriously. I took a 3 month hands on intensive direction course and I almost got two guys to shell out 500,000 dollars for my movie with the catch being I cast their beautiful daughters(who were my classmates and into acting) as lead. I can still literally call one guy and hold a meeting. I told...

    How to direct actors?

    Hey, I had made an account here a month or so ago but due to being busy(and procrastinating) never got around to posting. I have so many things to learn, so much to ask and share. I am already assisting on TV shows here in my home country and would be making my own feature pretty soon. I have...

    Will you please be my friend.

    Hey man. I just registered on this forum and will make an introduction. But I like your idea of skyping. It would be great to help each other out, no matter where you are. Currently I am taking a 3 month crash course in direction and am already on live shoots of TV shows. So I think I can share...
