    third act

    In my previous drafts, I had my heroine running out of time in the third act, trying to achieve her goal (standard hollywood films.) Now, I've decided to have the audience see her lose the battle and instead, please her mother but then in the last scene, we see that she's been actually doing...

    oscar nominations

    I couldn't help but noticing that most of the oscar nominated films premiered in winter and most of them chose to premier at the toronto international film festival.

    keeping up with the tools

    I find it very hard to keep up with the filmmaker's necessities like new digi cams or powerbooks moneywise. Can you all share how you afford to keep up with the technology e.g. how much roughly you put aside every mounth. I've been putting aside about $200 a month but that doesn't seem to go...

    website

    Finally, I've scrapped enough money for a website. I've already got a domain name and now my task is to find the right price for the site (this site is going to be the official site for my feature). Can anyone recommend the website that offers decent fees for websites? thanks much
