Thanks for the great info, looking forward to meeting them. Was only in London this week meeting Dwayne Johnson too!

Awesome i'm quite looking forward to meeting them now, anyone know if they have done anything else since?

Ah thats cool made up you guys have heard of it, I brought myself a ticket for it and booked a coach down to do London for the day. 14 hours on a coach to watch 1 film I hope its good!. Be nice to have a talk with the film makers being that I wanna become a film maker myself and yeah it's...

Hi Guys, saw this on in internal bulletin from the company i work for, look's really interesting to me. Nice to see some independant film makers getting a good break. I think i'm gonna make the trip down to London to see it. It's basically a fan made adapation of Raiders of the Lost Ark but...

It's all good, if you need to go the long way round to get to the point its fine all leads to good stuff i s'pose. I'll be glad to get back in touch with head office armed with some of the feedback you guys left.

Thanks for the great feedback Spatula and everyone else who contributed. Just waiting to hear from head office now that the people they are in touch with over festivals are interested in doing it nationally and if all's good i'll give it my best shot. Directorik, don't worry about it all, no...

Well for arguements sake then can I rephrase indy films to festival films/shorts/footage. Seems that the general point of the thread has drifted into a discussion on what classes a film as indy, whilst interesting, doesn't really help me too much. I would be interested in looking at showing...

directorik, thank you for your feedback. You are 100% right in saying that Slumdob would have been advertised heavily as a Danny Boyle film in order to drum up interest before it hit properly. You raise many good points, I have spoken to someone at my head office who is responsible for events...

No worries at all about the rant, exactly the sort of feedback i'm after. I do take your point about Slumdog being different from truly independant film but i do think for what i'm looking to set up the general public would pretty much consider slumdog as independant cinema in terms of...

These days a lot of good independant film that ends up being shown on the cinema starts out at film festivals. Best example is Slumdog Millionaire, as many know it almost went straight to DVD until it was spotted by someone at a festival and the rest is history. I'm a manager with a large...

There are a number of ways to start of a career as a screenwriter in the UK, here's a couple of examples of places you might look to send your work. http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/ http://www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/scriptdev As for whether you'd need to move to LA or where ever i couldn't...

I may be wrong but I think camera's that are able to record to SD card do so as a backup option rather than as a primary function. My camera has a 40gb hard drive and an SD slot which i can only imagine using as an emergency back up if I filled the hard drive. If you have a media card reader...

Yeah i've just finished a first draft of a short, looks to run about 10-15 mins and is a kinda serious and sad story. Working on a couple of comedy sketches now that would hopefully be quite filmable but i like the idea of just getting out and filming stuff. Thinking of editing, it came with...

A bit of advice i got from someone which worked quite well for me as i was having a problem keeping my short film short was to take out all the dialogue and see how much of your story is still told then go back through it and add in your dialogue as much as is necessary to tell the story. Then...

Hi all, i've spent a while now looking at camera's to buy for my first starter camera. After eventually accepting i have a very, very small budjet and a 3ccd, external mic input etc etc just wasn;t going to happen with my current budget i took a plunge and brought what i could afford. So i now...
