I've always had an interest in becoming a film director. But I never took it seriously and always passed it off as one of those things you say as a child, like "I want to be an inventor when I grow up!" I never really seriously considered it till around 2 years ago. My dream back then was to...

I know this is a predictable question... What are the different ways? I know one way is to get a job as a runner and work your way up, but can anyone explain what positions you have to go through before you get a chance to direct. Another way is to make a really good indie film, like Darren...

This is just a spoof trailer for my upcoming movie, it's not to be taken seriously, obviously none of the comments made in the trailer are true, I just scratched this trailer up in half an hour, but I've been working hard on the full film for several weeks now. I didn't want to give too much...

Let's pretend were all world famous Directors with big budgets and we can make our dream movie. Heres my film idea. My film would be a Fantasy Horror adaption of Hansel and Gretel, with some crazy ideas of mine. A group of school children, aged around 12-16 are in a school bus with their...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nre6KSx9CIw This is my first proper short film, I did everything myself, except compose the music of course. So please go easy on me :blush: I only used a Digital Camera. Some opinions on the editing, cinematography and all the other stuff would be nice. You...
