maybe reach out to jj abrams? He recently donated about $15000 in film equipment to a group of nigerian teen filmmakers.

Well, hang in there. You know the best recipe for success relative to your organization and personal preference. I'm sure you'll make it happen

Disclaimer: before I go on, I'd like to own up to the fact that I am in film classes and not film school. So, I see quite a few videos speaking both for and against film school. Now I know time is valuable so I'll be succinct. Pros: a formal education (looks good on paper), Creation of a...

@Nate North All in all, I realize you're facing some pretty steep obstacles, mainly being location and family obligation. The latter makes you in my opinion a good person, because I know 1 person who would quickly leave his parents in the lurch if he were you. I'm thankful that I can say that I...

I see you added more to your original question, so pardon if my subsequent answers are out of context with your original question.

Wow. I fell right into that one. Lol. I see what you're saying. You're also correct in your comment about music equipment and video equipment. Here's the thing though, when you said you composed all of your pieces of music yourself, Trent rezner (sp) immediately came to mind. That's another...

Yes to both. Without putting too much of my personal info out there, my father worked with Heuy Lewis, boz scaggs and tower of power. I grew up in nor cal but went back and forth between there and LA.

Not sure what the quote etiquette is here so pardon me if I quoted too much of your post. Anyway, are people really still chasing record deals in 2021? That sounds so crazy to me. Last I checked, major labels were struggling due to the snakey tactic of trying to sneak 360 deals on artist. It's...

Another great response! Thanks!

Ouch! Are you saying that a Kraft box Mac n cheese is superior to my Mac n cheese?!? That's Tantamount to slapping me in the face with a glove in 15th century France .

Best I could do for under $100 lol

I swear, catering is the hardest part of it to me

Wow, that was a good one! And here in San Francisco we have a few culinary institutes and academies. Good play!

See? This is the reason why I feel like I would need investors, to go all out for the food. Well, Food and Talent/crew. a lobster truck, that sounds like nomination for king of the indies right there!

I've thought about this, I just didn't know if this was the "easy way out" or not.

I'm glad I found this site. A variable fountain of information and experience. But yeah, you pretty much sold me on NOT doing pizza. THANK YOU

This is good stuff. I'd wager that you've been on a few sets and seen a thing or two.

red vines and skittles I will definitely add next time. How much of a budget would you spend on catering?

That's a lot of sugar, isn't that right up there with pizza and beer in regards to a catering no-no?:D

Arguably, I personally feel that a film budget should make crafty and catering a top priority, What say you? I think every director here probably knows by now that pizza is a no-no, So how do you make the most out of a budget when it comes to catering? Me personally, I've fed a crew of 8 for a...
