Taylor J Martin's Lounge Discussions

Hi! I recently purchased a badge to attend the AFM. I’m flying over from Australia, and was hoping I could maybe network with a few producers that will be attending this year? I’m a screenplay writer/director and I’m interested in meeting people, and building new friendships with creatives whilst I’m there. It’d be great to sit down and have a coffee whilst I’m there and talk about my projects and hear what others are doing. Cheers!

Honored to be moderating the Crowdfunding panel at this year's AFM. If you are going to be in attendance, come say hello!

Are you attending the festival? if you do I would like to meet you. Thank you, Marcelo

Good Day Stage 32'ers! I am an actor and aspiring film maker living in Chicago. I plan on driving a large 4 wheel drive SUV up to Utah this coming month for Sundance. I would love to get involved as much as I can while I'm there. If there are any production companies or festival affiliates that need assistance or transportation, maybe just a nice smile to give you an introduction to the audience; I bring some pretty cool things to the table :) Hope to Chat, and Happy Holidays Everyone! Cheers, Taylor

I am an actor living in Chicago and wondering if there's any directors and producers out there looking to participate in this years Doritos commercial contest. I did the contest last year and had a blast doing it. If interested, shoot me a message! Cheers.

Time to update my head shots! Looking for a head shot photographer with great knowledge of lighting. Looking to try new things with perspective, camera lens, lighting and other techniques?? I can help! Looking to do a 'Test/TF' shoot; I always look for the "Win-Win". 50% for you, 50% for me. I'm prepared and professional-It'll be quick and fun. If you are a photographer or know a photographer in the Chicago or surrounding areas that would be interested in making some magic happen before the summer is over, please message me here or email direct @ tjm.4658@gmail.com. Cheers!

Hey everyone! I've been hired to co-produce a commercial and need to create the effect of hair standing on end. Ideally I would like to have the full effect from flat to completely upright captured on camera. Any ideas, suggestion, or insight would be great! Thanks
