    Seeking Distribution Producer Mentor!!!!

    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...

    Seeking Distribution Producer Mentor!!!!

    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.

    Seeking Distribution Producer Mentor!!!!

    Well, you aren't getting paid to talk to me right now in this forum, are you? The exciting thing is I have a movie I really believe in and I love talking to other producers about what we do for a living. A mentor isn't a job description, it's a specific type of relationship. Mentors don't get...

    Interesting. I don't know how to do this VOD rental. Can you please provide a hyperlink? Also- my point here is to not be doing all this heavy lifting alone. While I'm shoulder shrugging 315 in sets of 5 I need my mentor over there leg pressing 675 like another skinny guy like me you know what I...

    Seeking Distribution Producer Mentor!!!!

    Royalties Though I don't think it's a good deal to only make 6 cents per hour watched when Redbox is renting movies for $1 and Netflix memberships are around $7.99. Also, movie theater tickets and DVDs, etc. Nothing is as minute as 6 cents. Also, do you have an estimate of the average monthly...

    Seeking Distribution Producer Mentor!!!!

    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...

    Dream list on a budget

    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)...

    Dream list on a budget

    Is it just me or does the Canon T2i have extremely hard lines in the images?

    How can I mention character’s look perfectly?

    I agree. This is out of my screenplay: Jeff (preppy) 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...

    How can I mention character’s look perfectly?

    Thank you sir. Perhaps: FBI AGENT CHARLES (wearing monkey suit) Where's the rest of this dossier?

    How can I mention character’s look perfectly?

    If the appearance item is significant for the audience you can mention it in an action and possibly even put it in brackets within the dialogue for the first time a character speaks. This is a very trained, conscious character: FBI Agent Charles (pushes his black-rimmed glasses up his nose)...
