Some find we can all agree on - 'It's a wonderful life', for instance, but what essentially makes a Christmas Movie? Die Hard set at Christmas, but is it that enough? It's not s…

@Paddy Robinson-Griffin Nah. I just like a little violence in my christmas movies.

As a freelance film maker there are lots of things I can claim as expenses for tax. I'm wondering though if I make a short film which is self-funded, can i claim all the expenses…

This post happened three years ago! The responses were excellent. I would add however that people ought not be quite so kow towing to the erroneous presumption of the powers of H…

Hi Yoel, this sounds like a good idea. As Stephan asks, can you tell us more about the finances? It's always great to see your film on a big screen, but MUCH nicer to get paid as…

Hi Steve - the two are not mutually incompatible. I've had three agents so far in my time. One got me loads of work in one area, but only that area. The second was highly prestigi…

Hi Jonathan. Yes the limitation is on the script length, not the length of the film.

I've very recently moved to London and would like some advice on finding work as a camera op now I'm here.

I don't know if this is against SP guidelines, in terms of mentioning o…

Should have been more specific in original post.

Preferred areas would definitely be doco, music vid and drama.

This is a reminder / advice for filmmakers, directors, producers out there.

This might sound biased coming from a sound engineer, but then again, who else would know more about t…

Its not just not planning for sound its often using the wrong sound equipment as well. In our early days in the 90's we used all sorts of poor quality low cost fit on camera mics …

I read this pitching article http://bit.ly/1OSItEC and wondered, what your advice was for pitching a screenplay to producers, film executives or a senior film studio head?

I remain astonished and disgusted that the EFA Awards receive no publicity in the UK. The EFA is the BAFTA of the EU, of which we are a part. The ceremony is also far superior t…

If you Google EFA from the UK you go into pages of Financial links and have to put in EFA Film, which kind of indicates how little it is known in the UK.
