An Experiment I've been asked to write (elsewhere) about THE WRITER EMERGENCY PACK created by John August. So today, (and maybe the next few days) we're going to try something different. The 'pack' is a deck of cards, similar to cards against humanity, it's meant to get your creative juices flowing...

Hi all, For all those on Pinterest: we have been collecting resources on the subject of filmmaking from various online sites and gathered them on a Pinterest board. The board covers pre-production, production and some aspects of post. Most of the material focuses on indie/low-budget filmmaking but a...

Thank you for posting that,. Some interesting insights there - including the one about “the higher the proportion of creative individuals in a founder’s city, the higher the chance of success for that founder” - that had never actually occurred to me but it definitely makes sense.
This is really, really fascinating. Crazy that 25% of Kickstarter's projects are films. I didn't think it would be that high.
Great advice and inspiration from Werner Herzog on making your independent films! http://nofilmschool.com/2014/09/whats-foundation-filmmaking-heres-legend......

Allie, again,this is our first festival. Yes, the film makers will have the option to introduce their films (I believe that is what you are talking about) and yes we have developed a marketing strategy to get the surrounding cities to buy tickets.
I just curated my first small film festival and I am amazed at the local talent! I can extend an invitation to some of our short film submittors and see if they would like to screen with your festival. We had some great films that deserve a wider audience!
Jill. That would be awesome. Thank you so much!!
Hi Ron, if you'd like to consider my film "Horizon" for screening at your festival, please send me a private message and I'll let you have the URL. Thanks!
Hi Ron, what is the deadline? I have short called, Pick Me!, and one that will film in July called, Climbing Stairs. Let me know the best way to send either of these to you. Is there a submission fee?
Hi there, I'm new to this site - just started stretching out my feelers. I'm a writer of screenplays and sometime producer based in Hamburg (Germany) and Dublin. A few years ago I set up the company Shakedown Films (www.shakedownfilms.eu) with Irish director Michael O'Connor. We produced our first f...
