One of my characters has a red lipstick "kiss" on his shirt collar. I'd like to do this without staining my actors shirt. Anyone know how I could could create this without ruining a shirt? even if it's something that looks like lipstick

I'm looking for some cheap/dollar theaters in LA. They usually show movies that have been out for a while for a discount. You guys know any?

A lot of us have had this dream of taking the time to write out a feature length script. But unfortunately, we usually fail and it remains just that, a dream. I myself am guilty of this; and excuses aside, I've decided now is this time that I write that script. I'm 18, with no job, and I start...

Just wanted to share this interview with anyone who missed it :yes: http://www.dga.org/Craft/DGAQ/All-Articles/1202-Spring-2012/DGA-Interview-Christopher-Nolan.aspx

I have always had trouble writing character sketchs for the characters in my screenplays. I find it very difficult to explain a character in a few lines. I would really appreciate some advice on how you guys go about making character sketches.

Hello there fellow screenwriters. I'm in the middle of making a film with an interesting story behind it and I wanted to share it with the community, and also hear if any of you guys have had a similar experience. So right now I'm a senior in high school and I'm enrolled in the advanced film...

We've all seen this story before. We go through an compelling adventure with these characters, and at the end they wake up. It was all a dream. We stand up in our seats and we scream FUCK YOU!! THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME!! But why? Why do we care that it was a dream? It's a movie, we already...

Hello, I'm a film student, and I usually write my own scripts. But for my next project I want to direct something from someone else's mind. Now I could have just roamed the internet for scripts but as a loyal member of this sight I wanted to give you guys a chance first. Here's what I'm looking...

What is your favorite universe created by a movie? What movie would you like to live in? (I expect to get a lot of star wars and LOTR):) Mine is not necessarily a universe but - Slumdog Millionaire, that movie made me fall in love with india and Danny Boyle is amazing at pulling you into a movie

Hey all, As a writer I have never had a problem writing a short script(no more than 20 pages) because there isn't much planning involved. I can see the entire story in my head and simply put it on paper. But now that I want to write a feature length script I realize that it would be too...

So I've wanted to see this movie ever since I heard about it a few years ago but I've never been able to find it ANYWHERE. Have any of you seen this, and if you have where? trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xdqBj8vDe4

So I just wrote this fantastic short script, but there's one problem. Here's the 5 page shooting script (https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B_5rOVdgF6llOWQyYzgwNGItYTRhMi00ZTNmLWIyZmMtYmE2M2QwMmVlMDll&hl=en_US) Before I tell you the problem(and how you can get...

If you could put together the perfect team of filmmakers(director, writer, cinematographer, editor, composer, etc.) to make one film, who would you pick? Who's your dream team?

I just watched fight club recently, because I heard it was good and it looked like an interesting story. But I had a major problem with it. The first half of the film is genius(When Brad Pitt's character was still real). After that the story became extremely unappealing. As a viewer I put...

Hello all. I am a high school screenwriter and I am very pleased with the stories that I write but the problem is that I think that I am writing them wrong. I need to see/learn how scripts are supposed to be written. So I'm going to watch a movie while reading the script at the same time. Do...

I am working on a large project with each scene put in a separate sequence. I am also working with separate audio and video files(camera and audio recorder). I merged the audio and video files together and put them in their scene sequence. Now I'm at the point where I'm combining all of the...

I just finished my latest script and I wanted you guys to have a read. The title is: "Spider on the Wall" It's about the idea that a spider on the wall is more than meets the eye. It's a real easy read, no dialogue. Be as critical as you need to be.:)...

I know all us low budget filmmakers say that you don't need special effects and cgi to make a good movie. But some stories could not be told without it(they could but it would distract from the story). What is your favorite movie that "required" CGI?

I've always thought of the oscars as the deciding choice for the best movies of the year. But lately I've realized that they're probably wrong. Some of the greatest movies of all time have not won or even been nominated for an award. Obviously this post was instigated by the decision that...

I just finished a script for my second short film. Unlike my first film which was a short story, my new film is essentially a scene from a larger story. The story involves two boys that have been captured by a terrorist group. The story leads off with the two boys in a room forced to play...
