Anyone keen to read my way too short first draft of a feature film? It's similar to the likes of creature features churned out by SyFy or Corman. Written over a few hours. Let me know and I'll email it through to you, then you can tear it to shreds.

Anyone have any feature film press kits that I can look at? I'm interested in seeing different layouts for inspiration to make my own stand out from the crowd.

I've been looking at writing a feature project for a while now which is based on a company's intellectual property. While I don't have the rights yet to write the feature, the company is prepared to listen to what I have to say about it, and go from there. Now I'm not too sure about the whole...

I know a vast majority of people on this forum are digital, but it's worth a try. My Elmo 612S-XL no longer runs off the AA batteries (no, they're not flat) and I don't have an power cord for my unit. Any idea on what kind of power cord I need in terms of correct power? EDIT: Never mind. For...

I just scored two Bell & Howell film cameras dirt cheap. One is a Bell & Howell Duolex-S 8mm, and the other is a Bell & Howell Director Series Filmosonic Model 1224 Super8mm camera. I really know nothing about these items. It looks like they both take cartridges. The Duolex-S came with a...

So today was the second day of shooting my feature film. Yesterday, the lead had learned the wrong lines, so I put his poor performance off to not being prepared. I made sure that he knew what pages we were doing for day 2. So this morning I have a quick run through with the lead and another...

Here's a thread for the crowd funding of my new feature, Golden Age. Everyone should support it, all the cool kids are. http://www.indiegogo.com/Golden-Age?a=50398&i=addr Golden Age It was dark days, the world had never been so brutal and lives had never been thrown away so much. But one day...

This may seem like a dumb question guys, but I'm not from the USA. I notice in my scriptwriting programs I can select the page size of A4 (what's used here in Australia) or US Letter. Do scripts in the USA get printed on US Letter, or in A4?

So, with this action movie that I am doing, I've been trying to figure out frame rates for the delivery. I'm aiming for worldwide distribution on DVD and BluRay and want to know how important it is to shoot 24p. I live in Australia with easier access to PAL cameras. Is it worth my while...
