Looking for an industrial or warehouse space to film a straightforward interview. Doesn't have to be huge. Would love to hear your suggestions.
Thanks!

Cardboard Citizens have a lovely space in Whitechapel- a huge blank white rehearsal room, which used to be a warehouse. Check their website for pics: www.cardboardcitizens.org.uk

For a short film, can i get an exemption under the fair-use policy?

There is 'fair dealing' in the UK, which basically relates to using excerpts of a piece for review, criticism or news.

You're better off licensing it.

Dear fellow filmmakers,

Hello, I have close contact with a 120 screen cinema in Harrow, which is on London tube. They will ask for £400 as minimum though but can have a word. Pls email me on kaujla@btint…

Given our 17 minute short film is completed what good repro companies are out there to produce a small run ( 100 ? ) of multiple dvds of my short film?

Many thanks

Film maker needs a letter of exclusivity for an individual granting exclusivity to director for doc film Will be used to get funding

+1 for what Marlom says. Either get a lawyer to write lawyerese or bypass them and use plain English. I like plain English as frankly both parties understand it without wasting …

HI!
We're doing a historical documentary and would like to FILM a port-a-pak that works. We want to see the reels go around. We do not want to film with it, we want to film it. We…

Thanks Aleve and Chris for your suggestions. Any other is welcome ;-) Thanks!

Hi all
I'm looking for an excellent showreel company who also finds locations to shoot. The location is the trickiest thing to find if you're searching from scratch...so I am fin…

Slick have done some very good reels - I'm a fan of them.

So I made a film (30 mins long) called Advance to Contact. It got shunned by all the big festivals but an American Distributor gave me a distribution deal and its on iTunes (just …

Well done. There are many ways to reach an audience, and festivals are only one. As Daniel rightly says, 30 mins is long for festivals - but obviously right for your subject. Too …

I'm tempted to use eBay, but are other re-sellers, like Gearhouse http://www.gearhousebroadcast.com/uk/equipment-sales/all/c-used , better?

Depends how specialist the kit is - the more specialist, the worse eBay seems to be as both the seller and buyer need to be active in the same 10 days or so, whereas broadcast equ…

If anyone has any recommendations, I'm looking for an empty light studio that I can shoot a dance sequence in. Possible option to black out would be good, but not essential. Idea…

I know of a rural one in East Riding, any use? You don't say where you're based!

Just wondering about cancellation agreement in the sense that you get paid as apposed to unpaid for film work that don't reach anywhere say £75 departmental average as a clause.

I'm not sure what you're asking, John. If you're talking about getting a job on a film, then the film falls through, that's pretty normal. Even on big films. Often it's because a …

We are seeking a location which is for one of a better words scruffy/untidy preferable in central or inner London. Ideally 1/2 bedroom + 1 living room.
Our shooting dates will be…

Once a month, maybe. Or twelve times a year. Whichever suits.

As Simon said ... the monthly Magic Lantern meetings already happen. Try them out first before "reinventing the wheel".

I'm looking for a low cost way to buy or borrow some fencing equipment for a short. Do you know of anyone or any company who could help me out?

Forgive me, for some reason I thought you mentioned Cambridge! No idea why. University club definitely. ..
