    Bypass the managers and agents?

    I've been trying to get a hold of Lisa Loeb for about a year and can't get past the gatekeeper/s (her agent and manager). Really, all I want to do is have her READ my screenplay. I think she would be perfect for this role (and then, if she were attached ... I might get financing or at least...

    Frustrated with the indie film scene

    Is my frustration coming through in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VmyZpZ2YP4 I seriously don't know what to do at this point! I guess I'm the first-ever filmmaker with a finished movie on their shelf?

    Error and Omission Insurance

    Anyone here had to get this? How much does it cost? How involved is it to get this? We are working on two distribution deals and both require this (and our budget is stretched BEYOND zero). Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Eric

    watch "Gus and Alphie" - The Short

    In an effort to allow us to resend our hard work to some of the festivals that overlooked our feature length film, "Waiting on Alphie," I convinced the director to re-cut the movie into an 18-minute short. Already, it's garnered MUCH more attention than the original film! There is a 66Mb WMV...

    Digi-beta copy of our movie

    Does anyone on this board, or does anyone on this board know anyone, who can trasfer our movie to a Digi-Beta tape? We would send a drive (with the AVI file) to whomever and (my guess is) they can push play and record. We would pick up any costs associated with this but do not have a big budget...

    watch "Waiting on Alphie" Behind the Scenes

    We have edited a 15-minute "Behind the Scenes" of the making of "Waiting on Alphie" for our anniversary screening this weekend. I think you'll enjoy seeing this as it pulls together auditions, rough clips, cast and crew for our feature released last August. This is a 54Mb WMV file so you might...

    Best SHORT fests?

    I have a list of the top 20 festivals and have sent our feature-lenght movie to them all. Now we have a short that's about ready to run the '06-'07 circuit and wondered what this board thought might be the top 10 festivals specific to SHORTS. I know all the 20 will accept shorts (and we'll hit a...

    Rights to Movie Names (Part II)

    "Single White Female II" and a myriad of other part two movies that litter the shelves of the local video stores that have nothing at all to do with the original? What rights are needed to use these titles? It seems there are numerous titles out there capitalizing on the (sometimes limited)...

    Thoughts on festivals - Any tips?

    I am in the home stretch with our first-feature's first festival circuit and am getting very frustrated (I know ... every filmmaker goes through these emotions). Honestly, I didn't expect to get into Sundance but I was hopeful for Slamdance. Didn't get into those two. Or, Miami, SXSW...

    ITN Distribution - You've heard the shtick

    OK. ITN is interested in our movie. Their deal is $2,500 gets you a full page ad in IFQ magazine for Cannes, and their sales team make sales calls for us outside the markets as well. I know of one film maker who was happy they went with ITN (although they still haven't made money two years...

    PAL conversion from frame mode

    Clive (and all the other Europeans) might know the answer to this one. We have a solid inquiry on International (non-US) broadcast distribution of a documentary we shot two years ago. The company (out of Australia) thinks it will be a "hit" overseas and we're excited at the prospect of getting...

    Drink drink everyone drink ...

    Need to fake Jack Daniels. Any suggestions? I think matching color *might be easy but whiskey aslo has a certain viscosity that could come through in some close-ups (and I do NOT want to get the actor drunk ... as much fun as that sounds). Any tips on this? Today was also a good day. Committed...

    Indie Book Exchange (Part II)

    I traded my Festival Guidebook for a DVD of "A Joker's Card" and enjoyed the experience (not so much the movie) so much that I'd like to do it again! Up for grabs (in exchange for a DVD of your indie), are: "Down and Dirty Pictures" "Producing for Hollywood" "Independent Feature Film...

    We are in development of our second feature film and would love input on legitimate funding sources. This past August we released our first feature film, "Waiting on Alphie" and it's been very well received. Reviews are good (see Pajiba.com and scroll down) and the screenings are ending in...
