    Scenes that require a Kiss

    What is the protocol when you have to do a kiss scene? I met an actress who applied for a romantic role only to tell me that she doesn't do kiss scenes because of her beliefs. Not even FAKE kissing scenes where you play with the angles to make it appear like they kissed. I thought a kiss scene...

    tv Indie TV Pilot?

    I know that most independent filmmakers will eventually want to make their feature film and get distribution for it. At least that's the plan right? What's the plan if you want to sell a TV pilot? Is it a similar process? You get a good idea, write a series outline, write a script, cast, and...

    Asking for Video Auditions or Not?

    On my latest project I received like 70 applications. Some people applied for more than 1 role so I don't know how many actually applied. I only needed 3 roles, so I contacted about 11 people. Sent them the script in PDF file and asked for a video audition. Only 4 got back to me with questions...

    Do Directors need to be tough?

    I am taking on my first feature as a Producer, Director, VFX Supervisor, etc. and I've ran into a few issues.

I know that when you have actors you have them sign a release form handing you the rights for their image and voice in the film as well as using their image or likeness for marketing and promotion and other stuff. When you...

    How Important is Chemistry?

    I'm directing my first feature. I will also play the lead and I have an actress that will play my love interest. One of my concerns is that we don't have what you would call on-screen chemistry I think. I asked her to rehearse scenes with me (which I almost never do with anyone). So we met up to...

    The Hollywood Look?

    What are the big VISUAL differences in Hollywood Movies versus Indie Films? When you see a trailer do you know it's a hollywood movie by the image quality? The CGI? The lighting? The amount of actors? Sorry for sounding like an idiot for asking such obvious questions. My goal is to make...

    watch N. Zero Films - Is this a good demo reel?

    This is a demo reel that I have been using to showcase my previous work. I am the opposite of a big filmmaker. At my core, I am just an optimist with a DSLR camera and a small laptop. But my mission is (and always will be) to make films that feel larger than life. I hope my demo reel illustrates...
