Hi there, I'm Jeff -- a newcomer to Santa Barbara, greatly anticipating the upcoming SBIFF festival here shortly! I would love the opportunity to meet and interact with any cinematographers, editors, sound techs, and other film pros in the SB area. It might be cool to go see a film together, or...

Hi there -- I'm a filmmaker looking to support other filmmakers, producers, DP's, gaffers and more with a really cool gift: FREE tickets to see PULP FICTION on the big screen! Tarantino's 1994 seminal classic will be playing on Wednesday, November 8, at the Regency South Coast Village at...

Looking to partner with an excellent cinematographer, ideally a talented female DP, to work with on shooting my short student film (one-day shoot). Ideally will have lights and a full set of lenses for work. Will be interviewing DP's for a shoot to take place in early February in NYC. Please...

Hello Indietalk -- LOVE this community, and so much of the advice I gleaned from users here has helped me shoot AND finish my first short feature film, "Bobo Noir" (vimeo.com/bobonoir) -- thanks, guys! We are literally at the finish line and only have the sound mix left to complete...

Simple question: For the very first short film that you're planning on directing / producing, what should you concentrate on in order to be successful? I didn't go to film school. But I'm a huge fan of Truffaut, Kubrick, Cassavetes, and other biggies. Suffice it to say there is NO WAY in hell...

I'm gearing up to begin prepro on my upcoming short film, utilizing a DLSR -- most likely a Canon 550D, but it's not yet in stone. I've created threads in the past that addressed how much I hated being forced to choose digital over film, but time and financial constraints demanded the choice...

Straight to the point: Where / how should I pinpoint a great DP for a first-time filmmaker's project? I'm a first-time filmmaker who is finally setting out to direct and produce his first narrative short film. In terms of storytelling, I've been in preparation since fall 2011 -- creating a...

Hello! I'm helming an upcoming web series about a spoiled Parisian who winds up in L.A. and pursues his crazy comic dreams. We aim to start shooting in eight weeks. We have a bottom-of-the-barrel low budget. Yet we won't let that stop us! Most everything is in place, expect for one epic...
