    Heather, I had to rush out for dinner last night but I wanted to add one thing. Don’t be mislead by your 1.5% figure on the total budget number. There will be exclusions on costs related to the Producers contingency, insurance, interest, overhead, bond fees and financing. You might want to negotiate and add language [...]

    Wow, lots of stuff going on here. First off a typical option is for a one year term and usually includes language for an automatic renewal for the same term with another payment. I would never let someone take it off the market for 3 years. That payment is also deducted from the balance. Not [...]

    I just can’t let this thread sputter out.

    Thanks for sharing, Numb. It sucks that everybody bailed on Steven, but it happens. Hopefully it was because they had paying gigs instead and they weren’t just flakes. I thought the production values were good and I kind of liked the editing. I found it to be pretty simple and straight forward, but for me [...]

    Caleb, it’s not bad. Based on some of your other posts, I’d suggest you explore producing trailers for your movie ideas. Yes it would be a lot of work to plan, set up, shoot and edit but, in turn it would give you a lot of training and maybe help you flush out some of [...]

    Anyone have the contact info for these guys? I’m pretty sure they’ll work for meals and a copy. Ad, yes, I’m willing to put up with a little bit of poo flinging.

    For anyone that is a DirecTV subscriber, you should know that they are offering a free preview of their HD Extra Package over the next few days. In particular, channel 568 is their “SHORTS” programing.

    I’ll be DVR a bunch to watch later. Enjoy!

    There are a lot of different ways to approach this and much of the advice you’ve received already should be of value to you. I give you credit for knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Besides you, everyone, EVERYONE, including the barber that cuts the hair of the letter carrier that delivers mail to the set [...]

    Storytelling has pretty much remained the same for centuries. The evolution of the business end of talking about that story has changed drastically. In the end, there are many roads leading people to your film. It will likely not just be the internet, but it can be. Obviously it’s the post powerful and effective tool. [...]
