I think Mr. Mullen has given me a realization. Everytime I AD a project (am doing that right now) I find myself going to the convenience store at least once a day. But, the good news is, a lot of famous smokers are starting to cut back. I know that Kevin Smith is in the process, if not done...

I can write on this from the other side (and don't judge me, please). I used to be an ardent non-smoker. Once I started getting into major productions and bigger and bigger stuff kept coming up, I needed to do something to relieve the stress, so I took up smoking because it was the most...

Yeah, so everybody should visit the Producer's forum.

You should give him the film as is and let him go with it. The relationship between directors and composers is one that has to be established early on. A balance of trust and understanding has to exist. Just give him free reign over the prject, then put the music to the project. Watch it...

Maybe I'm just thinking about it from a "paper" filmmaker POV. My bad...

What has everybody's experience been with dealing with Agents, Publicists, and Attorneys in the business so far? I have my own horror stories, as well as a few good ones, and I'm just wondering if people have ideas or questions about such.

Just wondering if anybody has any experience in the European markets. I'm specifically interested in France, Spain, and Italy, as I have major projects in the works in these parts of the world. I am contemplating moving overseas and would like to know how the job market is looking, and what...

Made On Shoestring, as in a shoestring budget. It means a very low-budget film, usually what I would call the out-of-pocket or credit-card films.

I'd have to recommend either the DVX100A or the Canon XL2 (if you can get it that cheaply).

This is one of the producer's jobs, yes. However, to clarify, there is more than one type of producer. The executive producer is the person who is either paying for and/or lining up money for a film to begin. However, there are also line producers who oversee physical production. There are...

First, I would like to thank Kim for devoting this section of his site to the business of the business. Now, on to business... I'm starting pre-production on a short film this fall. As a producer on the film, I need to figure out where the difference lies between friendship and working. When...

So what does everybody think of the scripts that are being sold today? Honestly, I wish we had more people that were interested in the business-end of the industry. It's just as important as the craft and artistry. Is everybody getting onto the Hollywood Reporter's website and Variety's? How...

This is a difficult question. Now, I am not a lawyer, so do research. However, in my experience, the following is usually what goes into credits and permission for stuff like this: If it goes back to before copyright laws, MAKE SURE that there is no copyright on it anyway. For instance...

I know this is the wrong forum, but I wasn't getting a response down below. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro. I've been having trouble encoding the device for PAL, and I need to send it to Europe. On the burn, it will begin with the transcoding, but halfway through actually burning, it gives me...

From what I think you are getting at, you have a few options: 1. It's perfectly fine for a person's flaw to be their demon as well. 2. This is a little more difficult to write, but makes for such a better story. A demon is the protagonist's history. What happened in his/her life that gave...

Something you might htink about doing is HOW you edit together your reel. Even if you have a lot of dramatic short subjects, by editing it together with the quick pace of a commercial or music video, that could help a lot.

Several quick questions: 1. What do I have to do in order to import audio files into the system and have them play? 2. I've been having trouble encoding the device for PAL, and I need to send it to Europe. Also, on that note, when we burn using the program, does it automatically encode to...

What I'm working on right now is in partnership with the Sister Cities Organization, the French government, the Orleans governemtn, the Loire Valley Film Commission, the Kansas Film Commission, and the Wichita Association for the Motion Picture Arts. It has two components: One is a fictional...
