I will try to clear it out, sorry for not being more on top of it.

Awesome! - My friend just got in to the main festival, I'll try wrapping up my sizzle for my Doc series and submit...I thought submissions were closed (closer look is always a wise thing)

I actually got in trouble a few times when in school for having prop guns. The one thing I found to be most useful, at least in the U.S.A. is to just call the local authorities and tell them you are shooting a short scene that will have some prop guns. If you are going to be shooting with...

For all of you producers and/or directors out there. Here is a little gem to help get your creative brain gears spinning. http://americanfilmmarket.com/what-types-of-low-budget-films-break-out/ Hopefully will help give you ideas for what your next project is and how to make some return on it.

Posted this response in another post but i recommend the "writing character for a list talent" course at www.scrrenwritingu.com, but the person that has kicked my butt the most and taught me the most is Corey Mandell. He teaches class in Southern California but also has an online option...

I probably think along the same lines as camermagic. Future proofing your content is usually never a bad idea. Netflix is doing this for a reason and I heard mention on a panel discussion at the CineGear Expo in LA that Netflix is requiring all new productions to shoot at a minimum 4k. I also...

I have taken courses with ScreenwritingU and Corey Mandell, although my preference is Corey's classes http://www.coreymandell.net http://www.screenwritingu.com

I may as well go first. I usually spend a good amount of time listening to music, reading about new topics or just observing everyday life. I jot down ideas in evernote or some note taking device...i have things scattered all over...even in actual paper notebooks. I actually got an idea for a...

Each of us probably have our own unique creative process that we use to write our screenplays. The important thing is knowing your process so that you can repeat the results. I would love to hear what process all of you have to get your story to paper and ready to be read. Let us know what...

So, just so that I understand you correctly, if you write an ensemble piece you don't have to follow standard structure? That appears to break the "rules" you have told us we must follow, or is that a different rule I'm not aware of? My refreshing of my knowledge of an inciting incident also...

Let me explain to you what I have been meaning when it comes to rules & structure. I feel there was a bit lost in the discussion. I am going to do my best to create some positive discussion, so if I allow some negative to slip through, I apologize in advance. A script must have structure if...

Clint Eastwood is great. Got to see him in action once. Extremely efficient and he appears to communicate very well. One or two takes and then moves on...then nominated for awards. Adding him to my list.

As a director I like to study the directing style of people I admire. I try to be inspired by them in order to develop my own style and do my best not to copy them (all part of the process I suppose). I would love to know what are other peoples favorite directors. Here are some of mine: Paul...

The thing I always run into when following the paradigms in those books is that it I find it to be a more interesting story when everything happens sooner...or at least based off of the outline I create. If the rape happens earlier I think it just means you have to brain storm an even bigger...

If I came across rude or heartless then I truly do apologize. That was not my intention. My best to you in your career/passions. I hope for your success.

Great rewrite Kim! When it gets to the point of attacking and defending the usefulness of the conversation gets lost. I would put more time into my responses but am slammed editing for a TV show. The truth is you will always be learning how to better your craft and new ways to improve your art.

Most of what you are saying about brilliance really is a "subjective" interpretation. What is brilliance to one person may be common sense to another. So in that matter the brilliance argument doesn't really work. It is not knowing what structure is and how every successful movie uses it the...

Yes we do need structure for screenplays, but I'd prefer a custom structure that best tells the story as opposed to a pre-fabricated solo cup style structure where everything is predictable. Corey does a lot of ghost writing and script fixes for Warner Bros, in case you needed additional...

It almost looks like she is holding the camera or their is a harness on her and the camera is facing her, kind of like a GoPro harness. That is my guess. That video is fantastic by the way, would love to know who shot it or what agency produced it.

I think there is a lot of value to what Kim is saying. I also really like what Corey Mnadell has to say about structure: http://coreymandell.net/why-story-structure-formulas-dont-work-part-one/ I think that of we try to apply the same story structure to every one of our scripts we begin to...
