Hey everyone! I haven't been as active in the IT community lately, but last year I got the opportunity to help found a new film, music, and arts festival in Los Angeles. It was very successful, so I'm back again this year as head film programmer. http://treehouse.la/films Take a look and let...

Thanks for watching, and let me know what you think! https://vimeo.com/142450363

I have a sci-fi short that has 2 quick scenes needing VFX. I can pay your day rate, please email your reels to josh@joshbeck.net Thanks!

Micah Van Hove (writer for nofilmschool.com and the guy who does all the cinematography for MY films) is making his own feature and it's about Guns. One day Micah came home and found his roommate building a gun in their garage and was immediately fascinated by his roommate's hobby. Eventually...

If anyone is going to the Independent Filmmakers Showcase this year, be sure to check out my film in the "Drama Shorts 30B" block. It'll be at the Beverly Hills Music Hall theatre. Tickets: http://ifsfilm.com/2k16/program/6.php#petro

I should have posted this sooner because the music video I am directing is in... 7 hours, but any quick last minute advice might help! I'm shooting the band's performance tonight inside a warehouse type building. It's way over lit, so I plan to turn the building lights off, and I rented a Diva...

Does anyone have experience writing a film treatment? I've found articles online about what is supposed to go into one, but since those articles sometimes contradict each other, I'd like to see actual examples if possible. I'm about to make one that will be sent out to agencies and studios and...

Anyone here know a lot about the Writer's Guild or anyone here that can put this contract language in clear terms for me? http://www.wga.org/uploadedFiles/writers_resources/contracts/min2014.pdf Basically I'm trying to figure out how much I could expect to get if, let's say Netflix, options...

I made this mockup poster for my short film and I'm looking for reactions! How does it make you feel? What kind of film might this be? What might the story be about? Suggestions for improvements? Thanks!

So I had a location fall through last minute. I have a whole classroom of free extras for a 6th grade class, but nowhere to film the scene and it's happening this Saturday (in 3 days) Every public school in Los Angeles won't allow us to film, even for 2 hours, without going through FilmLa...

It's a simple concept but we wanted to do something for no budget. Granted we already had a camera, and the space we were allowed to use for free had LED lights purchased from Costco, but technically this music video cost me and the band $0. Enjoy: https://vimeo.com/136341839

I may need to rent a shotgun mic for a short film. On my feature, my post prod sound mixed cringed when I told him we used the NTG-3, so I want to avoid that this time. Which mic on this list is the best? $$ ins't the issue, I just want the best and clearest sound for both indoor and outdoor...

Edit: Pulled from another part of the budget to increase the rate because sound is important to me. My first feature film played at film festivals all over the U.S. and now I'm following it up with a new SHORT film (because I'm broke)... Offering $100 per day, most likely 2 days, on Oct. 3rd...

Many of you might remember my trailer from a few months back, and maybe you've already seen this article on nofilmschool: http://nofilmschool.com/2014/12/heres-why-director-josh-beck-released-his-first-film-ever-online-free But, today is my birthday and I decided to put my entire film online...

Does anyone know of a good management company or agency (probably in Los Angeles) for writers and directors? I know of all the big companies, but who are the smaller ones that might be looking for up-and-coming talent? I was hoping some reps would seek me out after my festival run this year...

Has anyone encountered trouble uploading to Vimeo with popular music? Can you walk me through the process? My situation: I'm about to release a feature film for free on Vimeo Plus (Not Vimeo Pro On Demand). I have secured all the licensing for the music in my film, but there are a couple of...

I've seen plenty of budget threads, but I haven't seen what I'm looking for. Anyone have access to an indie budget breakdown in the 75k-200k range? The film should be relatively recent, maybe it played at Sundance in the last 4 or 5 years. Definitely shot digitally. I have made my own budgets...

I do not speak legalese... Where do I sign? Why are there multiple spaces to sign? What is my title? Etc... [link removed] ----------- Nevermind, I figured it out!

"EVER" has been selected to world premier at the Newport Beach Film Festival in April. It's been a long road making my first feature film, and I can honestly say it wouldn't have been possible without help from this forum. Thank you all! :cheers: EDIT: Official Trailer --...

Has anyone ever done a Q&A, and do you have any advice? One thing specifically I'm wondering is: When answering questions is it more important to be honest, or to sugar coat things? One example might be that your entire shoot was chaos and everything went wrong and nobody got along on set...
