INDEXWhat proves that a project is "in production"?
9 years, 1 month ago - Alève Mine
Hi all
I'm looking to apply for a grant for projects that are "in production", because I don't see any other hope here at the moment. With one or more projects that are not in production now, but would have to be by the end of the month. To figure out if any can claim that status within this period of time, I'd need to first find an answer to the question:
What proves that a project is "in production"?
Thanks.....

I don't know if this will help, as I don't have a direct answer, but here (Los Angeles) we have production listings in the Hollywood Reporter and Variety. Films would be in "pre-production" "pre-production with a start date," "in production" and "in post production." And whether Union or non-union. Most people found jobs this way, and it let studios know what Indie Films were being produced to try and pick them up before anyone else.
So my first question would be is "pre-production" included in their definition of "production."
Now it seems, that IMBD has taken over that role that the HR and V used to do. Would it be enough to post on IMDB pro with all the relevant details (Producer, DP, Director, Cast, etc), then list it as "in pre-production"?

Dan, thanks. Let me ask them.
That aside, how does one list in HR or in V? I couldn't see a list production here type of button. Does HR only publish the list on day 1 of Cannes? I know they do then.
I get a newsletter from http://www.ifta-online.org/ listing some productions along with their phases, too.

Oops. I found the information: filming must have started. So. I just take a camera and film anything filmable in there. Got 3 free days from my current AD job to do that plus provide budgeting and financing plans. :)

In Production to me says that Principal Photography has started.

Paddy, thanks. This seems to be their view, too. I shot some stuff during waiting time on set (a park) today. Thus principal photography has started. These shots may not remain in the final edit :).
It will be quite obvious that I'm trying to cheat the system. I won't hide it. That's if I manage to put together the rest of the files on time.
