Film school does not guarantee a successful career because success in film depends not on a degree but mostly on luck – making the right movie for the right audience at the right time. You can be educated in film and still not be a creative film maker. You can not have a degree at all and be...

The American Cinematheque reopened the oldest movie theater in Hollywood after a 3 year renovation restoring it to its original 1922 look. They opened with "The Killer" the new film from David Fincher. Nothing special about the movie. Great cast, great directing but a paint-by-numbers plot...

I don't have any experience with that mic so I can't offer much. You've done your research - that video would sell me if I were in the market. Seems late to offer other options as you just ordered it.

For filming one person - an interview perhaps - it might be a great option. I don't have any experience with it. I love what's happening with lighting these days.

Welcome to indietalk. Where are you looking for financiers?

I know you've spent a long time on this script. I'm glad you have gotten it to a version that is going to work. I always wondered about you and what happened. You were so enthusiastic about it and then stopped posting here. I hope we helped a little. And that we can help on your path making...

That's great! Is this the script you talked about here in 2010? Or a new one?

An excellent path; start in distribution, then secure funding for low budget, high concept movies and use their success to make bigger movies. Then sell to a huge entertainment company for millions. When will you start the process?

Los Angeles is a great place be for making movies. Los Angeles is a horrible place to be for making movies. Welcome to indietalk. Let's get working.

A production company is no different than any company. A manufacturing company buys or rents a building and makes a product. An auto repair company buys or rents a building and fixes cars. A "production company" make movies. And they are all started in the same way. There is a "small business...

Many filmmakers try casting without everything in order. I wonder if that's you can't find a cast. Do you have a firm start date? Can you tell potential actors exactly how many days you will need them? Is all that in your casting notice?

You should try colleges and universities. Those that have a theater and/or film/TV program.

I'll train you to be the best for $40 per hour!

The 14pro would be great for all those shots. Look into the Blackmagic iPhone app. It offers more control than the built-in camera.

I'd be glad to offer my version. I wish to read your version. Since I am one of the people here I'm sorry you feel I have lost my purpose. I am trying to help in my way. I honestly meant to be encouraging in helping you find your logline. I see my method isn't what you are looking for. I have...

I won First Place: Crime Drama at Indie Gathering many years ago. Two weeks before the festival I got a gig so couldn't attend. And I had purchased airline tickets and a hotel room. I wanted to be there.

SCARY!!!

Okay, I'll help you create a proper logline. I won't write it for you, but I'll offer some direction. You have all the components – you just need to condense it. Maybe you don't need to mention his parents being killed. Important to the story, but maybe not the logline. You say his gift in...

Have you asked the retired scientists where they would like to be filmed? They might have a place special to them. Or as sfoster suggested going to their home might be most convenient for them.

I listen to two podcasts - one five days a week and one three days a week. In both cases the host was once on the mourning radio show I listened to every morning. They left the radio and started a podcast. The new version of radio...
