The industry is indeed on a roll, Geoffroy Faugerolas.

A shame I skipped this year. Last year felt pretty slow compared to other years. This is good news.

Netflix Expands in Africa

This is from June, so I'm not sure anyone has posted this yet. If we've learned anything about entertainment on this platform is that there is a wide global reach.

Looking forward to learning from Michael Bishop today!

Great opportunity to learn the craft of the Assistant Director and Line Producer in creating a shooting schedule, the basis of the shoot and creating the budget.

Debbie Seagle

Can you create the scene breakdown spreadsheet & location breakdown in Final Draft? Or Celtx?

Debbie Seagle

Do you prioritize shooting various scenes at the same location?

Or do you prioritize shooting night scenes together?

Or group scenes with a certain group of actors (so some can go home)…

Which scene grouping is typically most economical?

Frankenstein

Last night I had the extremely good fortune to see Frankenstein, followed by a Q&A with Guillermo del Toro. Do yourself a favor and see it in a theater — it's HUGE.

Sean Plemmons & Jeff Hassen

The Waterfall

This is technically a distribution post, but it is essential information for anyone putting together a project and talking to investors about potential returns.

The term "Waterfall" sound so nice. It's pretty, and tranquil, unless you're at the bottom, getting pelted with rocks and sticks, and an unf...

Very helpful Michael Fitzer, Mfa - it's important to understand the concept and workings of a Waterfall for filmmakers in regards to investor and participant recoupment and profit sharing....
