Hi everyone, Love for you to check out my latest project and let me know what you think. Thanks! Win https://www.youtube.com/user/drivethrushorts (sorry, meant to post this in the 'screening room')

Thanks Gary and Brian for the really nice comments, and for watching my film. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I think because I make a living as a graphic designer, and because my film was a bit on the short side, I made the opening sequence too long! All part of the learning curve! Win

Thanks for your comments and nice words and for watching The Dinner Date. My film is definitely a done deal as far as it being finished, but all advice will be taken on board for my next film. Cheers Win

Thanks for those nice words! As a Motion Graphic Designer, I know I had to make the title sequence stand out!

Thank you each one for taking the time to watch my film, and for the nice comments. The film was shot on a Canon A1- don't even know if they sell that model anymore. Basically, it was one of the first hi def (consumer) camcorders to shoot 24p. I did a lot of treatment in post to try and make it...

All very good points, and I think I agree with most of them. It's funny, I was always concerned that the first scene is too slow, so in a way it's funny you described it as 'a runaway freight train'. Basically, because I shot it in 7 days, and I was cameraman/DOP/key grip/director, etc, I was...

A while back I was crazy enough to attempt to write, produce, direct, shoot and edit a feature film. It was shot in 7 days for £700, but took FOREVER to make it work in the edit. It's now available to view for free in HD on YouTube. It's a light hearted Rom Com entitled 'The Dinner Date', so...

I did try Distrify very briefly, took out some facebook ads, but was a bit discouraged by my results. I'm not casting aspersions on Distrify, I think it's a great platform, and for the right film, you could really get a lot of traffic and make a hefty profit. By the right kind of film I'm...

No hoops to jump through, I just waited and got an email saying I was successful. Took one month to get their reply, but I would think the holidays would slow things up a couple of weeks at least. I submitted through Withoutabox, but mailed a .mov file on a DVD as the viewer. Good luck! Win

Just wanted to let everyone know that my feature film, 'The Dinner Date', is now available to view at http://indieflix.com/film/the-dinner-date-34346/ I've posted in the past the obstacles concerning the marketing and distributing side of filmmaking. It's taken quite some time to get to this...

I've been researching the issue of trademarks and logos in films and I've found two aspects. 1. The law is really on our side. As long as you don't show the brand or product in a negative light, it's legal to have these logos and trademarks in shot. But what we can't do is portray...

Thanks for everyone's replies! I've been doing some research, and this is what I've got so far, but take it with a grain of salt as I'll illustrate, my sources and deductions are guesswork. Okay, I've emailed Hulu and Distribber (thought since they dealt with Hulu they may know how the ad...

Forgive me if this has already been 'threaded', but a quick search didn't pull up anything... The indie film 'Strictly Sexual', was the number one watched film on Hulu for a while. (it still appears prominently on the website) http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123499181...

Hi everyone, Can anyone recommend a company that duplicates Blu-rays that A. can do short runs (less than 50) B. is economical Thanks Win www.thedinnerdatemovie.com

http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/ I've used some of these tracks in the past, you Just need to give him a credit on the film - and donations are optional.

Thanks one and all for your advice. I'm going to have an 'Advanced screening, by invite only' night for my cast, crew, friends and family. Will probably do the donations things to help cover costs.

Hi Everyone, I 'm going to be renting a cinema so my recently finished feature can have a 'premiere' which will be seen by my actors, friends, family etc. However, I know a lot of festivals want the film to premiere at their event. So is the way around this to treat my premiere as 'invitation...

I didn't pay for any of my locations. We used my flat (got permission from the landlord). The few shopfronts we used was the same, just asked nicely and got signed release forms. Basically, we had such a small crew that they knew we weren't going to disturb. The hardest location to obtain was...

Just realized I never answered your question Finders Keepers. I'm originally from Long Beach, California.

Hi Paul, Concerning the animations in the trailier, the character intros were done specifically for the trailer, and don't appear in the film. The animation at the end, showing the actors names, is from the title sequence, which can be seen in it's entirety here http://vimeo.com/36768556...
