Indiegal, how are you connected to this movie?

I wish you had given all the info in your first post. The actions you need to take are different when the question isn't hypothetical and the film is finished.

Then the action you need to take is to walk across the street and talk to the producers. Tell them you do not want to be in their movie. So this isn't a quick hypothetical question - this is something that happened to you?

The entire history of film making is filled with movies made for very little money that made a lot of money. And as Mara points out those number are always deflated. Yes, Rodriguez was about $7,200 out of pocket - the movie we saw was far more than that. Given the current cameras available (as...

In order to answer I will need to know what your concern is. Are you in witness protection and being filmed will endanger your life? The action you need to take in that example is different than if you want to be paid for your on screen appearance. Does being filmed going yard work embarrass...

Writing is the next best step and is the right track. Write that pilot and that feature. Write another short script and direct it. That; or find an animator who is looking for a good script - then collaborate. You should spend the amount of time you need on a first draft. There are no...

My first thought is similar to someone asking me to watch their movies and it's not in focus. This screenplay is difficult to read. You need to pay attention to details: you have a long scene of Nathan and John jogging inside Nathan's room. You never change locations. All this gets in the way...

And in 2005 vinyl records were dead...

It isn't always about the cost of a location. The advice is often based on time. As you point out not all productions are the same, but often when shooting a low/no budget film equipment is being rented. If you have the budget for, say, five days of rental and you have several locations...

I'm not understanding why you think a very low budget or no budget can't have at least one scene location away from the one, primary location. You have pointed why it's very possible. Low/no budget films do not need to stuck in one location. There are no rules to break. You make great points...

This one line made me laugh out loud.

Welcome.

I'm glad to hear things have changed in film school. I never when, however I worked on several student productions during my first few years breaking in. The reason was if there were 12 students in a class 2 of them wanted to be producers and 10 wanted to direct. And none of the directors...

You will write: EXT. ARTS AND SCIENCE BUILDING - DAY Then you will write what is happening in front of the building. Even: EXT. BUILDING - DAY Is an accepted way to format the scene in your screenplay. Then describe the building; made of brick - elaborate Rococo style - simple high rise...

Sure looks interesting. How are you connected with the movie?

As an exercise in writing two people talking with some interesting stakes it's something decent. This will be easy to shoot if that's your plan. Some of the lines are too obvious - too “on-the-nose” is the term. But it's compelling. I always assume a writer is very purposeful with their...

You will mark the slate with the Scene Number that is on the shooting script. Say the Funeral scene is Scene 12, 15, 18 in the shooting script: Mark your slate 12, then 12A, then 12B until all shots are complete. Then mark the slate15 and shoot all that coverage. Then mark the slate 18 and...

It's kinda fun to look at a 10 YEAR OLD post. I wonder what credit dr stilly took. I wonder if this movie ever saw the light of day. I wonder how many movies dr stilly has made in the ten years since asking these questions.

Another fascinating episode, Peter.

Yes. Many have done it. And many more will do it. Can you?
