    budget How much to do these?

    Thanks, folks. I'm far enough away from the flames. The smoke, however, is blowing over my place. The smoke was so strong last night that I thought there was a fire very close. This morning I can hardly see the sun, it's so think.

    favorite Favorite TV to Movie, Movie to TV Adaptations?

    Exactly. "Brian" was not an adaptation of a TV series. So I don't think it counts.

    favorite Favorite TV to Movie, Movie to TV Adaptations?

    There are quite a few good TV to movie adaptations: If “Life Of Brian” counts – that's my favorite. If “The Muppet Movie” counts – that's a close second. And I like “Pennies From Heaven” a lot. Does “Fire Walk With Me” count? I have a soft spot for“Charlie's Angeles”. I never watched the TV...

    campaign I Need A Better Knife

    Sounds like you have a fair budget. If you reach the goal everyone will get paid. If you can't reach that you will be able to cut some of the pay and still make the movie. On my first short films we didn't pay anyone. Food, equipment rental, film, (we shot on 16mm), location rental and special...

    campaign I Need A Better Knife

    I really like the personal "filmmakers story" Jordan uses in the campaign video. I don't need to see videos of actors I've never heard of - won't inspire me to donate. But (as @mlesemann said) it might inspire the actors friends to donate - so it can't hurt. Expanding your contacts and reaching...

    campaign I Need A Better Knife

    I looked at the page and have some thoughts. Since Jordan successfully crowd funded a previous project I think it would be helpful if you included a link to that finished film. The current project might be something that will be of interest to people beyond your current circle - so show us...

    Chris, that was my take on Homestead. It got too preachy in the last act. Otherwise a good movie. I'm big a fan of McDonough - one of those great character actors who elevates any project he's in.

    I finally saw "Juror #2". It played in only two local theaters and only for a couple of weeks so I missed it. Sad that Warner essentially dumped this terrific film. Maybe it was always supposed to be a streaming release but usually the advertising is "For two weeks only for Academy...

    Very interesting stuff. The "supercut" aspect of this is fascinating.

    The AM folder goes back to 2011 and there are 230 emails in there. I don't remember when I made the folder but I wanted to keep all our emails because of the repeated answers to the same questions. I have project folders but he is the only individual with a folder. I suspect I'm in for another...

    Okay. I just thought as a filmmaker I might be able to help you make one of them into a film. But I accept that you don't care what I think. I hope you find someone to make them into films.

    budget How much to do these?

    For those following along: Several years ago I set up an "Aspiring Mogul" folder and directed all email from our Mogul there. And then I forgot about it. I finally clicked on the folder and there it was. Along with a couple from 2019 and one from 2020. No wonder he said "and, please, reply".
