That article did seem very pessimistic. I've just submitted my screener to a few reps. Crossing my fingers.

Hey all, I just finished my first feature film and could use some names of good companies. Thanks so much!

i want someone in the la area. and yes for pay. thanks for the info.

does anyone know where I can go to make a movie poster of my movie? Thanks!

does that seem to be the average you mean for lowbudget indies? i read an interview with the director of the sundance film ballast (i think it even won the audience award) and he decided to self distribute after they only offered him 50k. that's insane! makes you wonder how the heck you make...

very cool. :cool:

thanks for all the answers, loop. i just checked out your imdb page. looking good. can you tell me what your experience was like working with the cg guys?

thanks Gonzo. I found some nice stuff on there.

anyone know of a place to get stock footage? i need some of snowy mountains for my film. it was shot on the panasonic hvx200 if that matters any.

i have made an agreement with a post sound house on a flat rate for work on my low budget feature. he has a schedule for the total number of days - give or take - for certain areas like foley and adr. but i am wondering what if i am dissatisfied with the work? on that note, should i pay him...

I am currently editing my low budget feature and I am wondering how much films like this - under 100k - can sell for? Should I just sell it to one company to sell it to others or try selling it to others? And what is a good way to sell it? Festivals? Thanks, Completely Lost

you should NEVER pay an editor a flat rate. it's unlike a dp where you know how many days you'll have of prepro and production. you can edit a film FOREVER and your editor eventually will get pissed at you for jipping them on their pay when they're basically being overworked. for an editor...

congrats on getting financing for your movie. but there's one thing i dont understand. how do you go from shooting a trailer to working with the distributor? won't they ask for more materials to see that you're legit? do they just hand you over a check or something before you shoot?

new question: when should i pay these guys? will they accept payment after services? this one guy wanted 25 percent up front which i think is insane since he's a private freelancer and could just take off with the money though he has good credits.

im confused. should i be hiring a sound editor and then we go mix it at the studio together or should i hire a post sound house for them to do it? which one is cheaper? sounds like the latter option.
