    Prop guns in a shoot

    I have a shoot tomorrow. It's set in World War II, and the main characters are all soldiers. They never use their guns, they gun have them strapped to their packs. I'm filming in a public park. I didn't think this would be trouble until someone pointed out that because it's a public place, I...

    How long is reasonable for actors to memorize their lines?

    Good lighting starter kit

    Does anyone know a good starter kit for lighting? I've done some short films with lights I have around the house, but I'd like to get some actual lights that I can use in my films. I was wondering if anyone knew about a decent lighting kit you could get for a good price.

    Producing a short film that has been adapted into a feature

    A while back, I wrote a short film and got good feedback on it, so I decided to turn it into a feature. Now I'm looking back through some of my scripts for one to produce, and I found the short script. Would it create a problem if I produce the short film and then try and sell the feature?

    Different Producers?

    I've been watching a lot of movies this summer, and I noticed that in the end credits, there are executive producers, co-producers and producers. I usually produce my own short films, so I am unfamiliar with the difference. What is the difference between them?

    Is Inception underrated?

    When I first saw Inception it really struck a chord with me. It really had that perfect mix of action and dialogue among other elements. It also had that component that really made you step back and think about the way we perceive the world. I saw it again at a friends house recently and it...
