I was wondering if you have a site yet or are you just starting out in production. If so, could you please make it available. Thank you for your time William J Long III

Great advice Thanks for the advice and I will definately take it all into account. This project is my opportunity to create something that Hollywood will never do in a way that costs much more time than money. I will most definately look into the programs mentioned and I will post frequent...

I am working on a stop motion film that requires to acrobatics for the characters as well as complicated camera "movement" techniques. I am going to have to purchase new editing software to effectively edit the film. I was wondering if anyone here knows of a program that allows you to remove...

House of the Dead The worst movie of 2003 in my opinion was without a doubt, "House of the Dead". If have a doubt that an entire film's cast and crew should be shot, hanged and burned at the stake see this "film". It will destory your faith in the medium. William J Long III

My friends and I have been trying to get an idea off the ground for over a year now and have run into some snags. Though our opinions differ on why I feel that the overwhelming initial interest we get and the radio silence thereafter is due to the fact that prospective investors can't get a...

...Save for this one that...

My 2 cents In my opinion DV is an outstanding way to plot a film. I understand that 35 millimeter is definately the way to go if you want to be recognized and that there are a great many people who will place production values over the story. As a writer I think that the only reason DV could...

Aloo, I am entering the competition this year and while I have watched the show and followed the previous competitions I am wondering if anyone here who has first hand experience has any stories to tell about the judgment process. I have read all of the official stuff but what I'm...

The Big Idea You guys have a point about people wanting to get rich quick via film, but I think wonder if any writer ever thinks that their ideas are the big ones. Honestly, I don't think it has as much to do with ego as it does perception. If you don't think that your story will have an...

Not so simple as it seems This is weird. I have made my behind the scenes team before, but never my actors, but here goes the Dream Cast for "Fang". Robert Smith: Haley Joel Osmond- He's a phenominal actor and I feel he could portray the tragic evolution of Robert's nature unbelievably well...

I don't know Perhaps I'm simply being pompous, but I like to think I have good ideas. I don't immediately go to the board with them and write out the whole thing when the idea slaps me. I usually let it simmer a bit. I think it out grow the characters from infancy into their roles in the...

Perhaps I'm Odd, But... I thought that the most imaginative products to come out of Hollywood in a long time came out this year. I know that lots of people hated the bandwagon movies like the Matrix sequels (which I thought were Hollywoods failed attempt to move away from the standardized and...

The Problem The problem with the statistics is that it seems that most indie filmmakers are taking the easy way out by creating projects that require little to no real brain power to create on a low budget. (this is of course my own opinion). We all know that we can make a drama or comedy on...

I am looking for a way to meet indie film producer and potential investors in the North Carolina area. Since I am not too experienced in this area I figured that I would ask those of you who have learned more than I have in this field. Please reply to me here or at Darclin17@hotmail.com If...

Most definately I would most definatelty love to see you guys host a screenwriting contest. I would participate regardless of the prizes involved if indeed there are any. I think that if you had reviewers actually post reviews on the site that would also be cool. Maybe if you were to just...

I am writing a fanfilm in an attempt to take Wolverine back to his comic roots (and no he won't duke it out with the Hulk). I have done a great deal of planning for the writing process, but I have some questions for fans of the character. The script I am planning stars only three...

I am looking to shoot a 3 minute trailer for the "CotO" pilot in the North Carolina area, but I have worked with very few crew personalities. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience working in the NC area and could pass on any recommendations. Thanks, William J Long III

Point taken I never really saw fan films as truly independent projects. First of all if there were no hollywood influence there would be no film and most fan films I've seen do little to extend the mythos that they carve themselves from. I was just having the conversation about how Sci-fi...

Why is it that 99% of all independent films are either dramas or comedies? I suppose that it is easier and cheaper to make films in those genres, but I think that might just be a cop out. In my observations we hear more about the indies that step away from those genres and into the more risky...
