Also - we've just done a deal with Soho House for people to rent the Aubin Cinema in Shoreditch.

Hi all
I think i know the answer to this but I am far from an expert, so i thought i would ask for further advice!...

Hi Shooters


After 2 years I'm at the stage of logging my tapes (yes I use good old fashioned tapes and not those daft cards). Making a follow-up feature docu to my 2004 film cal…

Thanks for that, John!! Good to hear from someone in the same boat even though we are both struggling to get our projects finished.
The one card I have up my sleeve is a large ac…

For my short film: The Cut

Fair point about he nervous point.

I will ask someone for sure now, the worst they can do is say no.

Just putting together a budget for a short and wondering what are Shooters experiences with casting directors and how much are their fees?

Fees vary from job to job. Is it a shot or a feature? If it's a feature then what budget? How many characters to cast?

If you email me directly with more details I can give you a…

It's for a low budget short film taking place at night. If the location has a glass wall/window by the main entrance, and a kitchen (not required, would be more convenient), that …

Good luck

I'm looking to insure 3 x Sony Z5 cameras for a weekend (to do a wedding video shoot). Does anyone know of a good insurance company who would do this?

Many Thanks,

More RAM would certainly be helpful. Also, think about breaking the show into "reels." In the film days, a reel was about 1000 feet, or around 11 minutes. Do the same digitally, k…
