I know this has probably been dropped here before, but it bears repeating. Backstory - Reservoir Dogs had its entire heist scene axed, though the movie still worked. Becauseeeeee, Tarantino wrote to his budget. He didn't try to fake a scene he knew he wouldn't have the money for. More advice...

This is a tricky one. Not the best filmed car chases, but the best written. I've heard good things about Bullitt, which I love. Help a writer out with some scripts to catch up on.

Like it says on the can - just for kicks, if you could make a superhero movie that hasn't been done recently what would you make? And be detailed about it. At least say who you'd cast! Let's assume you have all the bells and whistles. Billion dollar budget, whatever cast, so forth.

Question time - I'm needing a low budget solution for a project I'm working on (for the audio side. I've gotten most of my other gear secured). Project details below, then question. Format: Web series ERT: 4-6 min/ep Cast: 4 (right now, give or take 1 per episode) Set: 1 (possibly 2 a bit...

I'm back to lurking again it seems, or have been (There's that whole "work" thing). Came up with a fairly decent idea, but I was wondering if anyone had info on this. Has anyone caught the ideal length of a web series? My guess is that too long would lead to losing viewers, too short would...

Question. I've been looking into using Super 8 for starting off with short film, since I can score the camera and film super cheap (if not free). I've been looking into runtime/film/superfluous things, and I've got a good read on that. Here's the thing - two things, actually...

Anyone checking this out this year? Missed out on going, unfortunately. Some of the films, et al look promising though. Lucas Leyva/Jillian Mayer's #POSTMODEM caught my eye in particular. Also interesting because it's a dedicated film festival, unlike SXSW. And bonus points: Dallas Film...

I haven't been able to find anything outside Rodriguez's Facebook post about it, but a little big ago, he announced it being in post-production, finally. SO WHO'S EXCITED

Been cruising Vimeo trying to find something that would spark my imagination. Since I'm thinking of a short film on a digging-through-the-couch-cushions budget, I'm kicking around the idea of doing a silent short film. I've seen quite a few in my day (I'm an admitted classic film junkie), but...

I've done similar things to this before to get over writers' block and drag myself kicking and screaming from my comfort zone. Always a good thing. Here's the idea - Post one of the weirdest ideas you've ever had (loglines, yo) and come up with something to make the one above work. Ex...

Alright. I'm taking the plunge into film, and I've got a few things worked out as far as gear. But next on my to-stress-about list is lighting. I'm all for getting what you pay for, but considering this is my first foray and don't intend on doing film as a business thing full time, I don't want...

So...it's come to this... Nah, but really. I'm a musician. I assume some of you are too. So these questions, ladies and gents..are for you. 1. Do you play, and if so what? 2. Does what you play influence the soundtrack for the stuff you work on? This goes for actual audio/soundtrack stuff as...

So I'm working on my first screenplay, right? I've written fiction before, so that much isn't new to me. What I haven't been able to really nail down is the length of a script. I know the actual runtime will be up to how speedy people are with the lines and how directing works, so forth...

Well hello, fellow film nuts! I've been a freelance journalist for a few years, and worked on some short fiction off and on. Now, turning my attention to screenwriting and directing (hopefully). Been lurking for a while now, and excited to join!
