    Will they publish my novel?

    I was probably going to print a few copies of the novel thing myself and offer them as prizes on some sort of Kickstarter. I'm honestly not even close to starting to think about that. The film takes precenence over the novel, too. My script is such that it will be pretty easy to film. A lot of...

    Manual Focus vs. Auto Focus - Which One Is Better?

    I don't like autofocus because like even when it does a good job tracking the subject it still looks choppy and silly. And when I do manual focus I feel like a total badass.

    Zombie movie music?

    OK so on the other forum I go to whenever someone asks for Royalty Free music we always direct them to Kevin Macleod, by far the most prolific one. Here's his site: http://INCOMPETECH.COM/ but I'm going to direct you to a specific piece of his, called The House of Leaves, which is perfect for...

    Will they publish my novel?

    this is what I wanted to know. THanks! I didn't quite know if I get to keep the rights to stuff. Paul, I'm not aiming that high. Both my father and my uncle are amazing writers but neither have gotten anything published besides essays or poems in magazines. I don't anticipate the novel being...

    Will they publish my novel?

    No, I'm not self publishing. I want to know if I'm able to publish with like a real publisher. Thanks for the tip though :) Also the movie isn't based on the novel. It's more the other way around. I started a screenplay but I was having trouble because I've never written in that format before...

    Will they publish my novel?

    So I'm writing a story int he form of a novel and a screenplay at the same time, and I intend to direct and produce that film myself. My question is, is it possible to publish the novel though a film has already been made? Or if I publish the novel first, will I be able to make the film? Thanks! ^_^

    Please critique my very first screenplay

    I haven't read any of your subsequent drafts but I'd like to say I read the first one and I think it's best for the story to go nowhere. Like at the start I felt very viscerally connected to the characters, I was sympathetic to them. So the characters are great an you should keep them. I didn't...

    Is it too fast?

    I don't know if it's because I heard a story that was actually like this, but I feel like it would be all the more powerful if you opened with his suicide, an then explored the reasons behind it after

    What Are You Reading?

    I'm reading a book called The Butt. I only bought it so I could say "I'm reading the Butt" but it's not wry interesting. It's like Camus' L'Etranger but stupider.

    Can I post ideas here

    Ew you have some mental issues :P I like the idea a lot, but I probably won't use it because I don't want the contestants to know what's being done until the very end. Your plot could have a lot more dramatic devices attached to it though, like people going on the show to get money for their...
