ASK & DISCUSS

I am looking for a script to shoot this year. (My own don't meet my production criteria. Needs to be something that is Coronavirus proof).

So, I decide to explore Script Pitch. I…

Hi Marlom,
I have invested in boxes of antibacterial handwash and dry wipes and might have a 'self isolation' script in progress....

Anyone with the experience of making a feature film like to share their experiences.

Filmmaker friends, I have an idea for a short that requires a house bathroom, is there any service that exists where sets are already built and you can essentially redress and sho…

Thanks for the help guys.

Part of Parasite's strength is its concept. It's a very easy and understandable concept to regurgitate.

In that sense it has kind of the dream high concept pitch. Parasite's suc…

I don't think it's high concept, in fact if you read the IMDB logline it's not exactly clear what the idea is.

I think this was just a rather cynical way of driving traffic to t…

Hi Jordan,

I've also been considering collaboration for some time... please drop me an email if you'd like to have a chat.

Many thanks.

Many thanks.

Thank you Shirley. I am looking to get more involved in local film making. If you ever hear of anyone needing help. I would very much appreciate being of help.

Looking for something a bit more local than London. I don't really see anything from America here. Am I in the wrong place? Thanks.

FWIW some US filmmakers (quite successful ones in fact) have found this place a refreshing change, so you may wish to give it a fair try! Maybe depends on your experience and int…

If you don't know anyone near to where you want to film, try airb&b (costs money though).

Some of you will have seen my recent post here about a nightmare producer experience on my recent project. They took money upfront, and did nothing, cost me a lot in additional fe…

Good summary and thank you for risking bringing this up.

Don't wish to come across as arrogant (much), but films can be made without "educational support" (ie. classes on how to do it "right") All you need is the will and the tools and…

So, when will we see your film? FWIW I really don't think horror works as a film genre, (yes, I know, it's just me), but I LOVE horror on the radio. Monsters are so much better in…

Hello! Once again, I'm here to ask the help of the SP community.

In the last three years I embarked in a journey that led me to produce and co-direct a mid-length documentary, wh…

If it doesn't limit your options at all, no harm in giving it a go, I guess! If the actual promotion part is on them, so they earn by making you money, job's a good'un.

Hi Richard. If you're looking to fill particular crew or cast roles, you can post them into Production (https://shootingpeople.org/production) Best of luck!

Does anyone have experience promoting their film online by working with social media networkers and viral marketing campaigners to drive traffic to streaming websites?

Davina, my point is that if you say that about writers attracting producers and directors, why can't the same apply to filmmakers attracting audiences?

The answer you gave else…
