That's exactly what I want to do! Thanks for the advice. Everyone is right, maybe I am not a business person.

Just curious what you meant by distribution. Is it like using internet video to help market the movies? I have the Make Your Own Damn Movie DVD Set, just curious which discs that would be. How does a Gap Loan work? One of the big problems that I had with that small business development center...

Yeah, the reason why my state small business development center was giving me a hard time was because they knew what I was doing was a high risk and I guess they wanted nothing more to do with me unless I sell my work someone else or don't be independent. Math isn't my best subject and I wanted...

I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about starting an indie film studio? I tried to start a business plan from a small business development center and I had it cancel everything because they just don't understand the art of independent film and didn't think selling independent movies...

I want to do some parody songs in my films. Using a song melody that I like and change the lyrics to something else. So how much are royalities do they get and how do I make an agreement where I don't have to keep asking permission all the time say if I want to release it on DVD, iTunes...

I want to make some parody / satire comedy films though because there's so many people with barely a sense of humor and lots of lawsuit stories, it's always best to play it secure so what's a good lawyer for satire / parody humor? That would be an entertainment lawyer right? How much are they...

I want to do the DVD stuff in house and some digital stuff in house too and also iTunes and Netflex and Zune. I don't want to rely on another company other then iTunes (Apple), Netflex and Zune (Microsoft) to do this sort of thing and I want to hire some people to go about doing it for me in...

I'm looking for some professional software to copy VOB files from film footage I have on a DVD to a editable video file. Nothing that's freeware and illegal of course. Most DVD rip software are used illegally and I just want something to convert a few short films I did to my computer that I...

Is there any kind of grants, scholarships that can help with raising extra money for film festival entry fees, since fees can go from $25 - $80. It's kind of a gamble because you never get your money back if you don't get it but from what I read, the money helps the film festival run. I tried to...

I figured making promo flyers was the way to go in a low budget or in this case no promo budget. As simple as making a photoshop flyer and wifi printing it at my local library for 50 cents for color 10 for blank and white. Anyway if anyone else has any suggestions, feel free to post.

It's more satirical in my opinion. But anyway, if you ever take a look at Troma's website and films and even Lloyd's filmmaking book and DVD series "Make your own Damn Movie". It's amazing. Funny guy. This dude got Trey & Matt (creators of South Park) famous. Basically Troma is like b-movies...

I have some films coming up at ComicCon and I'm thinking with that and other film fests, since I don't have money to actually go to them, I'm thinking of sending fests some free promotional stuff (Swag I think is the term) like free t-shirts, buttons, flyers, and DVD samples to promote my films...

Awesome your into puppets and animation as well :) I'm not sure what budget I'm thinking of for the one I want to make currently. I know I want to do a mocap digital puppet movie later down the road whenever I get 10 thousand for equipment, though this one I want to do with my best friend I want...

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've never really joined message forums relating to indie film making so I'm giving it a try. I've been a short film maker since 2004, mostly animated and puppet films. I've done small live action films but just featuring myself testing with home made special effects...
