    Syfy Movie Guidelines

    A couple years ago there was a thread that included "supposed" guidelines for Syfy features. 1- Scenes must occur during the day. 2- The Monster must appear every 8 minutes. Does anyone remember this topic or have a copy of the guidelines?

    Unsolicited Audition Video

    Question: Let's say an actor with no chance of getting a very high profile role created an audition video for that role, made it go viral online, and got the right people to see it. What is the worst that could happen? I once heard a story about a guy that used nefarious means to grab...
