Hi -- I've set up an LLC for my production company, but would like to finance my moderately priced short film through a seperate entity. I've been putting together a Limited Partnership for this, but it appears from the Limited Partnership Agreement I have that all partners need to be residents...

Indiegirl: It all depends on the quality of the script and the writer's desire to see it made v. get paid a lot of money. Some features are made for less than the WGA minimum price of a script, so don't think you need to pay that kind of money to obtain the script you're interested in. If you're...

Were they trained/experienced child actors? I'm using a casting director to find them so I'm hoping they'll be experienced (e.g., fewer takes).

Thanks for all of the help. I've decided to shoot on super 16 and raise additional funds. I'll let you know know if that works and I'm sure I'll have a thousand questions moving forward.

This is a myth, but a popular one. When you submit a script to Hollywood companies, they care about one thing - what's on the page. They might be more willing to take a chance on a younger writer, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle, but they won't know your age until you're already in the...

I'm in the process of developing my short script for fall production. I've raised financing, have a casting director looking for actors, and have a producer to handle logistics. However, I'm unsure what format to use, so I thought I'd ask for some advice. The producer, of course, can tell me how...

Five years and no script? You, my friend, are not a writer. If you want to make movies, why don't you find a writer who can turn your ideas into a screenplay and then make it?

Do you consider yourself a writer? A director? A filmmaker? If you're a director or filmmaker, why write your own script? There are plenty of talented screenwriters out there who are willing to share their scripts, particularly their shorts, for nothing more than a screen credit. If you're a...

Hi -- Just found your forum and wish I'd found it months ago! I'm a screenwriter (4 independent assignments, contest winner, one short script currently in production) and independent producer (first feature in post, two shorts in pre-production, second feature in development). At a recent...
