Hey guys, I've written/directed some self-funded films in the past years when I was abroad. But practically my work has been unseen, and my challenge has been raising money to make something with a team that I can be proud of and that I deem worthy for investing in for publicity. Now I'm back in...

Hey all, Here's an old thriller I made back in 2009. I'm planning another one soon so I want some feedback to help me improve. This was my second film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLaBLSpCx_M I would really appreciate some constructive criticisms or overall thoughts! Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I'll try that danosongs...! I agree to some extend- shorts are for honing your skills and such... though I've read other opinions on some "how to" websites that encourage sticking to low budget 10 minute shorts only... I guess it's all kind of up in the air.. By the...

Well, for most indie film makers, they aim for getting accepted into film festivals. I've submitted to a few for each film I made but simply couldn't afford to submit to 100 sth festivals like many people do (I've heard some people submit to 100 or so and get accepted by 8). So I thought I...

Thanks for the tip! I did a google search for comedy blogs and thriller movie blogs as an example, but couldn't turn up anything. I could turn up results about hollywood films.. are you talking about blogs for people who enjoy watching independent work? Might you or anyone else have any links...

Hey all, Here's a short comedy Movie I made in China. I haven't showed it to many people other than Chinese, so I would like to have some input from you about the humor aspect. Any critiques are welcome! I'm also hoping to get some views as I have only 6! :(...

Hi all, I'd like to share with you my first live comedy, here: http://www.humancreationfilms.com/flaud-high/ It's a super low-budget short I made in China, whilst being an English teacher (thus being able to utilize students, classrooms, etc). I've showed it to many of my classes and get a...

Hey there, I came here because I got a scholarship to study film. I'm mostly interested in the directing aspect, but recently I've been trying to learn about marketing/distribution seeing as how I know next to nothing about it. I'm hoping to find some help on this forum!

Hi all, I've never really learned about marketing or promoting myself online, which has probably been a big mistake so far. I've never been able to get my films into a film festival for whatever reason (and have always made films for less than $1,000, and haven't had the funding to send to many...

Hey guys, So I went a long period in my life when I didn't have a camera. Being a movie maker at heart, I had to do something, and have been working on an animated movie. The movie is about a spirit that possesses a gang member. The full synopsis can be seen in the video description. The...

Hi all, I'm an Indie film maker from CO. I've been concentrating all my energy into making films but have never really gotten into the film community (I had trouble finding the right site). Now I'm here and it's a pleasure to meet you all! Derek
