First week 6% conversion rate hosting the movie online with $0000.00 marketing investment. Oh, I think my business degree is going to come in handy here. You want to see me make a sale? How-about convincing a gun store owner in Connecticut to let me a nobody rob his store on camera for my movie...
Here is a question that betrays my inexperience in distribution: Do film festivals screen movies only inside the industry for distributors to survey the field with time efficiency, or would I also have to trade-off showing the film to the general public for free (not that a couple thousand views...
I'm asking around for producers to talk to on a personal level and I saw this website as a supportive moviemaking community where someone like that might traverse in their curiosities.

Also, do you have an estimate of the average monthly...
Hello guys,
I finished my movie and began hosting it online on May 1st. I am intrinsically a storyteller and a writer, but I also have strong business acumen.
I need a movie mentor to "show me around". I don't quite know the population ecology of distributing a commercially marketable movie. I...
For a camera, I would use this one and then pretend you had a much higher budget if anybody asks (this might only be a photography camera, any derivative product suggestions anyone please chime in)...
I agree.
This is out of my screenplay:

Thanks, f**er.
Bottom line from my digression: I would only use character descriptions that are something you can see (then use projection into their personality) from observation, but include select adjectives rather than minute detail...
