Hey folks, a while ago I set out to create a Myst short. It's actually approved by the original creators but due to unfortunate circumstances I couldn't finish it. So I'm putting the completed teaser online and calling it a day. It's disappointing because I've never NOT finished a project before, but I guess that happens. I hope you enjoy it.

My brother and I have started a podcast. It's called See You In Five. It's a film review show where, instead of new releases, we cover movies released precisely five years ago. The idea being that we can examine cultural trends and examine the impact of a film in a way that reviews of the time wouldn't have been able to. The first couple episodes are a little rough, but they've been edited pretty well and we've been getting a lot better at staying focused during the record. Our new episode for Edge Of Darkness is our most polished yet, so I'd recommend that one if you're interested. We've gotten some downloads but we haven't been getting any feedback yet, so I'd love to hear what you guys think about the show. All the notes we've had so far have been from friends & family, so it would be good to get the perspective of strangers. Hope you guys dig it. iTunes link

While it doesn't matter now since you're not going to complete the film, you should always try to not to put your fight scenes into teasers/trailers if you don't have an actual fight choreographer. Despite your impressive visual effects and cool premise, the fight scenes took me out of the moment and looked pretty lame.

Yeah, that's courtesy of the previous owner. I hate it, last thing I want people to think of when they see my boat is Bowie's codpiece stalking teenage girls. Next time we paint its coming off. And that zissou boat scene is the best thing.

I was wondering, is there such a thing as a crowdfunding site for particularly smaller-scale short film projects? I am aware of Stage 32 and JuntoBox and so on and so forth, but those sites/communities tend to work much like Kickstarter, in that the projects' target budgets are usually at least $500 and up. The short I am currently working on is a production that, even when factoring in having extra in case of emergencies, only needs a maximum of, like, $150 more before the target budget is fully realized. I realize that's a minuscule amount of money to ask the Internet for help with to most folks, and seems like a tiny budget, but the actual case is that everyone involved in the project has already put in every bit that they can afford, and now we're at this weird spot with the budget where we're nearly nothing away from having it funded, but can't start shooting until we get over this last hump and can rent all the equipment and secure some more music. I cannot even wrap my mind around what it must be like trying to gather investors to fund larger independent films that do find themselves with Kickstarter campaigns of $10k+.It's been an uphill struggle, tooth and nail just to get as far as we've gotten at this point, and when all is said and done, it's probably the easiest one I'll ever have to find funding for. The whole miserable process is simply draining, but I love it. As for the short itself, I can elaborate more if anyone here is actually interested i hearing about it or potentially helping out, but really this post is more concerned with the best way to go about getting this small sum needed to finish the budget. Even if it were practical to use a Kickstarter-esque site to crowd-source the funding, making sure people get incentive rewards for donating would probably run the needed budget up an unnecessary extra sum, as well.

On every project I've worked on where we've ended up only needing a relatively small amount of money like that, me or another crew member has ended up asking our immediate relatives for a loan for a while. My parents for instance usually were pretty cool about things like that as long as they got paid back in a reasonable time. But you may have already exhausted this, or just don't have that option available. Even if you did something on KS or IGG or what not with that amount, you could still post it around asking for the money, just explain the situation in your pitch there like you did here. Maybe even make a funny pitch video using the weird situation you're in as material for it.

Finally, we've released our first trailer for THE WOUNDED! We pushed our 1 minute trailer out for the Cinecoup contest, where we have a chance of winning $1m to shoot our film and a guaranteed theatrical release here in Canada. "This modern dramatic thriller is about an Afghan father who comes to North America seeking revenge on the soldier who accidentally killed his child. But will revenge satisfy his hunger for justice? Can the soldier turn off the kill switch inside him in order to save himself and ultimately his family?" If you like the trailer, please do sign up (its quick!), rate our video, follow us, and share!. Being the sole producer at this time I really don't have a great social media impact at this time, so I will take any help I can get. http://www.thewoundedmovie.com

Thanks, we barely pulled it off, that was literally the only properly timed footage out of 3 takes we had. Hard to get the camera pointing perfectly down at 0 degrees, so you'd find as you rotated it would barrel roll slightly. :P Unfortunately we've only shot a trailer, that contest is to try and get us some exposure, and maybe a cool million. Feel free to register, follow, and rate.

 There's a new episode of my podcast See You In Five up today (iTunes link). This week we cover Iron Man 2. Very curious to hear people's response. Going through 2010 has been a weird experience. Last week we covered The Human Centipede, which made for an interesting conversation. Check us out and tell us what you think.

 Hey guys, a few friends of mine have recently begun a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for a horror thriller feature film. The filming finished back in 2014, but the money is needed to complete post-production. Among the perks for supporting the campaign is the ability to suggest the title for the movie when it is released! Even if you don't feel like reading through the Indiegogo page, check out the teaser trailer here. Any support from you horror fans out there would be greatly appreciated!

My movie premiered last night on Sci Fi. I play Greg. I'm not billed but I promise I'm major in this movie. It's complete camp and I'll take whatever criticism. It's streaming on demand right now, and there's going to be another showing sunday at 3pm. I was trying to just play it straight or whatever but by the end of it I was just trying not to die of hypothermia. FizFashizzle fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jul 22, 2015 |

Hey guys, I'm loving a lot of what I'm seeing in this thread and thought I'd weigh in with my project. I hope you guys like it. It's a show about the seven deadly sins as gamers, and the first 'season' of seven episodes has been filmed and I'm doing the entire post production process alone since I can't pay anyone to help out with that. I get out about one episode a month and I'm hoping to get the second 'season' I'm writing filmed before too long. I just released the third episode but I'm going to link you guys to the first episode of the series so you can watch it in order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juiUUKKSnns

 Another goon (grnegsnspm) and I have been running a fairly successful RPG review show for a few years called System Mastery, in which we focus on comically dissecting bad, dead roleplaying games. Occasionally we'd throw a movie review in there for fun, and those eventually got enough traction that we launched a companion show called Movie Mastery. The conceit of the show is that we take listener suggestions, add them to a big list, and then roll randomly for what movie we'll watch from the list, on the day of recording. So far we've covered The Day After, Yor the Hunter from the Future, Big Money Rustlas, Wizards, Zardoz, Dead Heat, and a few others, and our to-do list is full of absolute tripe. It comes out every other Thursday, with special episodes that drop around the holidays for weird holiday-theme movies, and has something around eight hundred listeners. You can find either show on itunes and stitcher, and both RSS feeds are on the homepage of the website.

I make long, dumb video criticisms of movies and television shows. I was getting a little sick of the typical, quantitative, "should-you-watch-this-or-not" reviews you see all over the internet, and wanted to offer a more qualitative analysis based in critical theory. Movies and television shows are texts and pieces of culture, after all, so we can do a lot more in the way of figuring out what they mean. I posted this over in a Rowdy Trout thread about Starship Troopers and people seemed to like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbcewwXe568 My first upload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJG1aw0FNSE

Heya goons! I've floated around here for many years now. I record a number of different movie podcasts, including The Bloody Good Horror Podcast, The Instomatic, Cinema Fromage and others. I wanted to share the new Horror movie centric web app, Killer Flix! that we released over at Bloody Good Horror from our Patreon Campaign! It will help you randomly find a horror movie to watch, give you reviews, trailers, podcasts if available and even tell you were you can buy it, all in one shot! Hope you enjoy!

Not exactly to the level of most of the stuff posted here, but a few months back a few friends and I made a short for the local 48 hour film project. I think it turned out pretty good for being the first movie any of us have made. I know it has flaws, but cramming it into 48 hours was part of the deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyFw60nngoY Doing the movie spawned ideas and our team is planning on doing more shorts and learning how to make movies better. Any thoughts?

Greetings! We are Digging Deeper - you may have seen our videos within the Horror and Mad Max Thread. We are an upstart young film analysis channel that explores themes and elements within contemporary and classic films. If you've ever pined for a more deeply theoretical or analytic opinion on films, expressed in entertaining visual terms, hopefully we can provide. Below you can find links to our first three video essays, wherein we discuss topics ranging from the death of the American Dream to issues of gender identity and masculinity. Thank you for your time and we hope you enjoy. Serenity: Exploring The Genre Frontier Jurassic Park: Finding The Lost World It Follows:The American Nightmare

Hello! I'm part of a senior thesis group for a film called All That Glitters. I'm part of the sound team and I figured I'd post our indiegogo page here. We are looking for donations to help us get through post production. The project is about a young man in the 1970s whose a big fan of a rock star named James Abbey (think David Bowie). The film is about his learning to accept himself and explore his androgyny, while dealing with his very traditional father. It was a cool project to work on, we had some big concert scenes that came out great, now we just need some extra cash to get us through pick ups and post. We have a trailer on the page if you want to see more on the story. Hope you all like it! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/all-that-glitters-post-production--2#/

Featuring local Vancouver stunt talent from shows like Arrow, The Flash, Warcraft, The Revenant, Star Trek: Beyond, and pretty much any major feature that's come to town. As an indie director, I'm constantly trying to push the boundaries of what we can achieve on a lower budget, I think we got some pretty neat stuff here.
