There is a battery charger for 7.99 US here: http://www.everydaysource.com/bcannb2lcs01.html. I haven't tried it, but I have purchased a product from this site before and was very satisfied with it. I love my HV20 and if the charger is an issue, I would grab one of these. I know I'm going to.

By when do you need a draft to look at?

A good example is in Slaughterhouse Five when Billy Pilgrim's wife gets in a car accident because she is frantically trying to get to the hospital to see him. It's hysterical because she is driving backwards on an onramp, etc., but it is still a car accident. Most of that film is black humor...

I would also check out Andy Kaufman's work, especially Synecdoche, New York, and anything nihilistic or absurdist like Fight Club, The Rules of Attraction, Clockwork Orange, and Godard's Breathless.

I've lived in two different small towns that had theaters like you are describing. Both of them got set up as non-profits (which might get you a price break on ordering prints) and selling memberships to a "Friends of [X] Theater" group. Both were very successful (by that I mean they showed...

Thanks...I took the advice to heart Thanks for everyone's input. Just by way of update, I did spend the money on a new system (although I forgot a power cord, so its just sitting behind my laptop at the moment). I'm pretty pleased. Thanks again!

Thanks! Thanks for all of the advice and suggestions. I guess like so many people I'm obsessed with making a video production and then convincing everyone that it isn't. Although I would like a DOF adapter (I already have the lenses from my photography days), I think I'm going to follow my gut...

I'm fairly new here, so I decided to do this here and introduce myself, but I actually want to ask a question (see below). I'm 26 and a law school dropout. I finished two years, but I knew I wanted to make films, so I decided instead of spending another 40k on my last year of school, I would...
