Dean Silvers: Director, entertainment attorney and producer in New York City, New York.

You'll love it here Frank. Sending you an invite!

I'm new. I was in a movie while working in Vegas. I started to imagine seeing my thoughts on screen. I write a book, 2 films and a play. My son works for paramount and we collaborate. I joined the site so that others could let me know if I'm headed in the direction I seek. Former military, former police, former banker, and world traveler is where the genesis of my stories originate. I just am void of a broad viewpoint of my work. Does this site allow me to be critiqued, advised etc?

Welcome!

Congratulations!

Very Nice of you to share your experience. Can we see your film?

Congratulations

Congratulations! That's amazing!

Willem Lodewijk Elzenga Thank you. We raised the money from a small group of investors, and our

ROI initially comes from Amazon Prime Video (so make sure to watch!), and we are now exploring more digital and international outlets.

Jack Binder Thanks, Jack.

I try to forget it. If I can't, I write it.

I have a filmmaker friend who says since things take so long to get going, he doesn't move on anything that he wouldn't want to live with for 5-10 years.

For me it has to be funny, unique, and something I would spend $15 on to see in the theaters. And more importantly, something I feel passionate enough about to spend the next year of my life working on.

Thanks so much Deb!

I love mysterious titles that catch your interest.

Guy Down The Road

The scene begins in a quite discreet town on the outskirts of a busy city in Northern Europe.

It's Friday, and the weather reminds the towns people of the summer events taking place around the small city during the weekends.

The people in this small town are known for a lot of things, but what sets itself apart from a lot of other cities is it's lack of a lot of the main things in a town. For example, it lacks a police station. Since the early 90's the town disbanded from the counties police department. As many of the people expected chaos to erupt in the town, what happened was the exact opposite.

Instead of the police making sure everybody was safe, the people in the city made sure each other were safe.

Relationships grew stronger between the cities residents and grudges were dropped as the people knew they had to look out for each other in a different way then they had done before.

As the benefits of this knew plan were seen over the next 5 years, the people started to ask questions. Questions that were not answered but questions that were tried to be answered.

...

It was just another day at the coffee shop in town, smiles were flooding peoples faces as they were getting excited for the cites monthly beer fest. One of the customers looks out the window and sees a man approaching down the road. It's evident he's on a mission with his pace. Business continues as usual but then the door opens and...

The ____ _____ ___ _____ enters.

Most definitely! i'd agree its never been easier to make a short film, I look forward to hearing more about your feature 'Guy down the road' as it sounds like my kind of film, I wish you every success with your marketing campaign. xx

Thanks!

Thank you Forbes.

Hi Sahar. Yes, I understood your mail. Your English is good. I was also too oriental at school, and with acting roles for TV ads, its so limited to find work. I see and feel what u saying, coz my life is almost similar. Ive been working paid jobs since the age of 10 and have also developed many talents from around 13yo, so I still have many years to grow and strive for the things I want. I started my film club last year. Ive recently gone back to finish my education, so Im not as active with my writing and filming as Id like to be. Im very similar to you in that we try harder than the next person to succeed, because of how we look and because we dont have many friends. Im lucky to have my moms support with most of what I want to achieve. My rich uncle pays for my education, and wants me to give up filming and writing, and follow his career in IT, which I excel in, but which Ill follow some day when Im ready. I have to keep my filming and passions low key for now, or forfeit an education. I wish life was more simpler. Hope you keep striving for what you want, and get there sooner than you wish for. Hard work pays off, and your energy is good and positive too. Best wishes. :)

Dear Kimite, I´m so glad that you could understand what I tried to say. I´m happy that I wrote you. Thank you for responding. Yeah we have many things im common and similar situations. WOW ! The world is wonderfull, LIFE is good, many people act bad to uns and destroy chances because of racialism or becaus they cannot see a multi cultural theater + film industrie. With the help of god we will meet the right ones who will help us to realize our visions. We will work hard on it. HEY :) you start with your camp?! Fantastic. As you said it will take time AND we have to give us the time it needs to get there where we want to :) THANK YOU for all your emotional, sensitive words. Say a lovely hello to your mum. Our mums are great. They support us :) Have a successfull time (with studing). We will stay in touch.

Hi Sahar. Its been a long time since we chatted, and I hope all is going well for you. I start filming next week with my youth film club for the long school break in South Africa, and I just know membership will go up from the 30 we had during the year, as more kids join. Im considering many new ideas for the club, and I pray we get the support we need. Last week I was involved on a womans Indaba event, and I enjoyed being the only female camera crew with 5 males. They treated me equally, and we made lots of jokes all day long. It was my second stint as a camera lady, filming International events. Im hoping to get more, and so far, Im building on my network skills, and forging good friendships. Ofc my skills have sharpened, and Ill take that with me when I make more short films within my youth film club. I hope you have succeeded in making lots of movies, and that you have a wonderful circle of support with it. Lastly, please keep in touch and keep on believing in your dreams. :)

Hi LB, hope you're enjoying the book!

Yes I am. :)
