Personally it’s, “I didn’t hit her, I didn’t hit her, oh hi mark” from the room such a cult classic what do you think?

We flipped over a car, shot a story that takes place over a year in 16 days, and shot in both Toronto and Los Angeles at over 30 locations including the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The film was shot on the FX3 with Canon FD vintage lenses by cinematographer Jared Raab (Nirvanna The Band the Show the Movie, BlackBerry).

We're self-distributing our theatrical release and have a digital deal via Quiver that will have the movie out in November.

There's two Q&A screenings in LA (Laemmle NoHo on the 29th and Laemmle Royal on the 30th) before the film is at the Laemmle Glendale screening daily from July 31st to August 6th.

If you're in the area I appreciate it if you can make it out. Tickets can be found here:

If you're in NYC, the film screens at Cinema Village from August 7th to 13th. Tickets are here:

I'm a 21 year old actor who's just getting into writing screenplays, and I've always had a passion for directing since I started acting when I was 12. I've seen a lot of people online say it's frowned upon when writers and directors cast themselves as the lead in their own projects. I never really thought of it that way because, for me, it's never been an ego thing it's just passion for the project. Would love to hear what everyone else thinks.

Someone actually ended up giving them the $500 without buying the Emmy, which is really nice. But obviously $500 won't change a life.

The fact that someone can still end up unemployed for that long after winning one of the biggest awards possible in that industry is a bit depressing. I guess it shows that networking will always be the most important thing no matter how many awards you get.

I made this film with my canon 650D but used magic lantern. I graded it with davinci resolve. Waiting for your tips and advices about lighting, color, framing, recording technics and everything... Because I am new in filmmaking this was my third.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with legendary filmmaker/screenwriter Nicolas Winding Refn. He has previously directed films/series Drive, Only God Forgives, Bronson, The Neon Demon, Pusher trilogy, Copenhagen Cowboy, Too Old To Die Young, Valhalla Rising, and more.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1v3mkcv/i_am_nicolas_winding_refn_director_of_drive_the/

He will be back at 4:45 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

His new film, Her Private Hell, premiered at Cannes in May and is out in theaters via Neon this weekend. It stars Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton.

Thank you :)

Hello! I’m an upcoming freshman at ucla starting this fall majoring in data science. However, it’s always been a dream of mine to be able to break into the film industry, which is why I’ve been planning to try to do a film minor.

I’ve written screenplays and short stories, but I’ve never really filmed a short film of my own throughout high school. So for any of those that have majored or minored in film with aspirations to be a director or an actor or a screenwriter, what is some advice you’d have regarding clubs, how to make connections with people, and how to get internships or other experience with film (esp for someone with not too much experience in it going in)? Not exclusive to ucla film students, just a general question wanting some genuine advice cuz I know I’m young but I sometimes worry how I’d ever break into the industry without any connections.

Anything you guys can offer would genuinely help so much and I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

¿Por qué los vídeos desde mi cámara se ven normal, pero a la hora de pasarlos a mi iPad o celular estos salen sobre expuestos?

This is the song. Please if you can, i have only epidemics sound, its not available there, but loved this song. Thank you.

Bonjour à tous !

Je suis étudiante en BTS audiovisuel et je participe au '48 Hour Film Project' avec d'autres techniciens de mon école. C'est notre premier, on est impatient et un peu stressés. Vous avez des conseils / astuces qui pourraient nous aider ? Merci !

In 'Twyla,' a young woman becomes obsessed with saving a caged dog she believes is being mistreated by her neighbor.

Set during a hostile summer in the rural midwest, this film explores what it's like to enter young adulthood after surviving CSA.

This past spring, we were only able to film because we raised the minimum costs of production - around $12000!

Our Kickstarter is still open and we are now crowdfunding for our stretch goals to be able to fund post-production. You can still opt in for rewards if you would like to help us complete the film.

Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vanesastoynova/twyla-short-horror-film

Or get in touch if you're interested in making a fully tax deductible donation through our fiscal sponsor! Generous donors have the opportunity to be credited as executive producers in the film and on IMDb.

Just generally curious. Also, how long was it? And was the final product in any way good (in terms of just the editing)?

Im an aspiring filmmaker and ive been drafting up a screenplay I really think I could bring to life on a relatively low budget, but im trying to plan ahead a bit. I would rather die than record an independent film on a phone but I dont want to break the bank with 5,000 dollar film cameras, does anyone know any high quality film grade cameras that arent crazy expensive?

I have a fear that I will one day, because of AI, have to prove I made a story and AI didn’t. Pulling out a notebook will definitely not be enough proof of me creating an original story, so are there any apps or other ways to log changes and store ideas?

Welcome Home Frankie is a short film written and directed by Carlie McCann about a young man Frankie coming home from rehab to a past he no longer recognizes.

hey im editing my 2nd short film worked hard editing it while doing it ofr the firt time like it worked but i just want to know what are stuff that would make it better even if its so emthig or any tips with color grading sound score and stuff thx x

I am currently president of a film club where hardly anybody knows what they're doing. Nothing against them at all, either, as we are all in high school. A lot of the people there prefer watching films over making films, which is cool, except for the fact that hardly any of them know technical filming terms. I am making slideshows with instructions and ideas for lighting, sound, cinematography, etc, but I also want to make a vocab list with terms said on set, what different words (i.e. - dolly shot, Kubrick Stare, kill your darlings, Hitchcock Rule, Martini shot, strike, Back to One, as well as all the different basic roles?) Give me at least something to start with and I will add more terms as I think of them. I am thinking of dividing the terms into categories as well. (Directing, screenwriting, lights, props, costumes, sound, cinematography, things said on set, etc) so if you could kindly separate them by category too, that would be nice. (For example, Kubrick Stare would fall under cinematography) I would appreciate answers to be at least 10-12 terms, one or two for each category.

I'm looking to purchase a set of skateboard wheels for a fisher dolly, has anyone tried out proaim skateboard plus kit for fisher 10 how was it, is it a good product considering the price being so low. I want to purchase wheels for my kit so I want to make sure they are on par with the ones you'd get from a rental house

An homage to Chinese Cabaret, shot in a real 1930s-era cabaret in Shanghai.

A filthy floor, a live dancer, a lit cigarette, a mirror and a deck of cards doing the transitions, all practical.

The one cheat: the exterior establishment shot of the door is CG, we couldn't find a real entrance that looked right.

We were pushing our visas past their limit, and it got close to real trouble more than once.

My film “Bare Skin” is out on several platforms and doing decent, but does the trailer make you want to watch it?

I’m 20 and at a crossroads in my creative career.
For years I’ve wanted to be a filmmaker, specifically creating meaningful, story-driven films. The type of content I naturally imagine making is life-lesson dramas, emotionally grounded short films, and cinematic stories that leave people thinking long after they end.

Recently, though, I’ve been seriously considering building a content marketing agency and focusing on photography and short-form content because it seems like a more practical way to build a business.
The problem is that I recently realized something that bothered me: I may have been walking away from filmmaking because I’m afraid of how difficult the path is, not because I actually stopped wanting to do it.

Filmmaking is expensive, competitive, takes years to master, and success isn’t guaranteed. Building an agency feels like a more predictable business, and I could see myself enjoying that too.

For those of you who have worked in film, creative entrepreneurship, or both:

How did you know whether you were genuinely outgrowing filmmaking versus just being intimidated by it?

Have any of you built a business that funded your films rather than trying to make films your primary source of income?

If you could go back to age 20, would you focus on becoming a filmmaker first, building a business first, or intentionally do both together?

I’m not looking for motivation or reassurance. I’d appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have actually faced this decision.

So far this is my set up to use on single talking head/YouTube videos shooting at 4k and filling a 10 x 13"" space
