Has anyone ever seen a website where contestants can post their own reality tv shows? I mean guerilla style reality tv of people with camcorders that think they might have an interesting story to show in reality tv format? There are a ton of places to post your amateur short films, I don't see...

Looks good Admiral Ackbar. I like this one.. "Audience empathizes with likeable fellow and then is shocked by his home life."

Our production hasn't started shooting yet. Could we post a "text" trailer on our website? What our trailer "would" look like? Is this common? INT. BAR JIMBO To Mickey, welcome home. The four man gang raise their glasses. ALL Slainte. V.O. In Boston... EXT. STREETS Mickey and his gang...

Thanks Zensteve and Poke. I guess I will just type it in manually after each post. =) http://www.towniesmovie.com

I looked in my Control Panel and can't find where I can add a signature.

Here's how you get your film financed plain and simple. 1. Write a marketable script. Have it reviewed by professionals and once you have it the best it can be move on to getting your film made. 2. Hire a Line Producer and have him/her create a "below the line" budget for your film. You will...

The only people who should have enough balls to ask for a deferrment, or a percentage are actors, producers and directors. If a PA asks for something like that they will get laughed off the set, not just one person laughing at you, the ENTIRE CREW will laugh you off the set. Just remember the...

1. Chatting at bar - John (hero) and his friend Bob sit at a bar and talk. John shares his dreams of owning a coffee shop with Bob. Bob's sad because his girlfriend broke up with him. 2. Rise and shine - John wakes up the next morning in bed and there's a few messages on his answering machine...

PA'S rarely if ever get paid on a non union set. We have over 100 applicants for our film willing to work as PA's for free. Why would anyone ever consider paying a PA when hundreds are willing to work for free? Well there are a few reasons. If the PA is good and valuable to the set (after they...

"" However, never send out a blind query"" That's what I was trying to say. Yes, I'd love to have you send us your comments. Good hopefully? haha. I know the word "Outa" was used a few times in action lines. Damn Find/Replace! Please send your comments to my email address and I would love to...

Poke, I wouln't recommend sending out mini movie posters. As a rule, any envelopes with stickers, drawings, bright colors are put in the trash. I think his friend sent the mini posters out to production companies for film funding, not to sell a screenplay. Only send out query letters if you...

Good stuff. This conversation is getting me all excited to start my super hero script! =)

http://www.towniesmovie.com/TOWNIES.pdf I'm sure the script will be messed around with alot more before production but this is what we got so far. Let me know what you think. =)

Yeah I don't like to rehearse at all. I don't want to seem mechanical. I just try to make sure to make my pitch exciting, like I'm telling a best friend about a great movie I just saw. Most of my correspondence are through email as well. Love that. I like chatting with you FilmJumper, but...

I wouldnt attempt that unless you live in LA. Imagine 40 companies call you up and you live in Guam? That would be a nightmare. Ugh.

""What was really nice about the experience for me was learning the business and more importantly, learning structure."" Right on brother. Success is what you learn and become on the way there, not what you achieve when you get there. About the Query Letters. In rare exceptions you can get...

Now we are writing Novels? I see what your trying to say guy. I was just busting your nuts about the "descriptions" statement. What high concept scripts have you written? My next script is a super hero script. Not spiderman, superman, or any super hero you have seen in comic books. This guy I...

One of the big lessons in screenwriting is to keep your descriptions short. I'm not sure... maybe that applies to forum post as well. So, let me sum up what he is trying to say. 1. "Put your tail between your legs and write what SELLS in the box office". 2. "Take that story idea you have a...
