Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Councilor, $2,500 is not the final number for the shoot day. It isn't even the total of my extemporaneous estimate. We have slipped right back into that circle I told myself I was not going to engage in again. This can be shot...

My end of the year prediction: Another three weeks of this. Then four months until Mogul asks the "How much...?" question again. Shocking how we all fall into this loop. This proves beyond a reasonable doubt that I am crazy. I should have picked a different career. Is it too late consider...

Off the top of my head: Rent a meeting room in a hotel Bring in someone who owns two or three cameras. $500 Two "crew" to set up some coffee and snacks. And help out with the park scene. $250 each A "director" to wrangle the day. $500 I'd say all in you're looking at a generous $2,500 for the...

I'll call you back. We're about to...

I understand that you believe clear writing with proper spelling is not important, but I think it is. It's clear that others here think the same. Maybe you can find more opportunities for the books by promoting them with clear writing and spelling. I know I am not willing to spend $10 to read a...

I know that one of the reasons you want to do this is to see if you really want to be a filmmaker. Filming a rehearsal/read-through won't give you any reasonable look at filmmaking. You need to make a short film. But first you need to make a decision: Do you want to be the producer? Do you want...

I haven't received an email from you yet. Which one did you use? Frankly I would love to keep this alive on the boards. Could be helpful to others. And for 15 years you have been to busy to accept my help.

A day rate is just that. No discounts for more days. Figure the crew rates at between $100/day to $500/day. It depends (have I used that before?) on their crew position. And how many you need for a shoot like this depends on several factors - something I have written about often. What you...

I apologize, I thought you were asking about a read-through with, maybe, one actor reading all the parts. But I get you're asking about filming "a few short scenes" and not a read-through. So (again) I apologize for misunderstanding. You know I have answered this question many times. And what...

"Might be helpful to pay a production assistant $100 to help out"

Figure $150 to $250 per actor. A rehearsal space will run you about $200 for four hours here in Los Angeles. Provide water and some snacks - $25. Maybe do a coffee run for $50. Might be helpful to pay a production assistant $100 to help out - setting up table and chairs, cleaning up after...

Welcome.

No, no, no and hell no. That video on the main page looks AI generated and is creepy AF.

It's hard to say what you're doing wrong - but it's clearly something since everyone you make this offer to is rejecting it. I understand a few people but everyone? Right now you aren't going through a casting director - only using Backstage. Did you hold auditions? Where did you hold these...

First: It would be helpful to mention where you are. A local Casting Director and Location Scout are essential. If I were to suggest a Location Scout in London and you're in Atlanta, well, you get my point. Use a search engine for "entertainment lawyer" to find an attorney. Of course a personal...

Something did seem off to me - very strange hand and arm movements. I attributed that to her not being comfortable on camera. It was clearly a generated background but I thought, maybe, greenscreen. 100% AI? Fooled me.

Just used my iMac speakers and it sounded great.

I love super8. That 4008 is a terrific camera. I have it and the 6008 s. The R10 was the first camera I ever bought.
