    Hitman project - help!!

    Lol, he is just reading the list now?? If I were the hitman I would call bullshit as soon as I got the list. Maybe the rest of the movie should be the hitman complaining how its really unfair that he's at the end of the list and that he should be taken off and that if it's a joke, it's really...

    Idea for Drama/Thriller screenplay

    Eh, I really dislike flashbacks and narration. You are right: cinema is visual. So why not ditch the non-visual parts. Trust me, it's not going to help you movie, especially if you have an amateur actor narrating. Morgan Freeman is one thing, he could narrate a story about paint drying, but do...

    STORY IS KING...

    Would you really say the movies from the 90's are better than the movies now? For me at least, cgi is getting old. No matter how good it is, I notice it immediately. Takes me out of the immersion. I love Pixar though, Wall-E was Art.

    Any tips for a first time Director?

    Don't forget to be an actor's director! This means rehearsing, giving them concise, playable direction (tell him, "I want you to plead with her," instead of saying, "I want you to be sad."), and most importantly understanding the script inside out. You are the man with all the answers, be prepared.

    Slow start horror, will it work?

    That's true, I loved that movie. The buildup definitely helped that movie, but it was scary even before the monsters started to pop up (claustorphobic people beware). But that went from the first act about a group of friends having fun then going in the cave, getting trapped in the cave.. you...

    Slow start horror, will it work?

    TITLE: 28 Pages Later It could work if you write it properly, just know you are most likely better off the less time you spend on exposition and more time you spend on story. My question to you is: Why not include zombies in the 1st Act? There are plenty of ways to write this in; dramatic...

    watch New Short Film (Silenced)

    I'm sure you do, and this was a constructive attempt. Sure, I teased ya about having a silly teaser trailer, but I'm talkin about the future right now. You gotta make more movies, but in your next one get behind the camera, and that means getting people to act for you. I wanna see some camera...

    watch New Short Film (Silenced)

    Well, thats why film school is great. You need to know people who want to shoot with you. But I mean, even film students have to go out and get actors they have never met before. Post wanted ads on the internet, around town. There is always somebody who will want to do your film, and do it...

    Finding Your Voice

    I agree with directorik, knowing and finding your voice isn't that important. Your voice comes from your subconscious, your gut insinct, your taste. Your voice is not your decision. I've made 5 or 6 short films now and each film is completely different than the last. Even though I am always...

    watch New Short Film (Silenced)

    More angles for sure. The camera is a powerful story-telling tool. With the right emphasis, reveals, and overall visual composition, you can manipulate how the audience will perceive your story, who they root for, how they identify with the character's and their struggles. Instead of casting...

    The Hills Have Eyes: So far

    The 1st remake is cliche for sure, but you can really appreciate the storytelling after watching the sequel. That was a joke.

    Motivational and inspiring

    I loved Rebel Without a Crew because he makes it seem so goddamn easy. I want to look for lab rat opportunities in Pittsburgh.

    I need good idea or script

    Spatula, I like it. Nice twist on the subject matter and you got some epic stakes (the world). I'm only staying away from actually showing aliens because I don't have that kind of a budget and I can't imagine the Croatians have it either. But that might make for a sweet feature :p

    I need good idea or script

    Racial issues are so worth mining for comedy, you don't even know. I agree that people probably don't try to look out for the movies about racial movies. BUT WE CAN CHANGE THAT! With the right script and talent, we could soar to heights unimaginable and reshape the discussion on race. Racism...
