What are the festival rules? Is there a text that fobids a movie to compete with other movies in a festival where one of the organizers has some kind of involvement in the movie, even when his involvement is not in the creative aspect?
Transmedia
The place to discuss, share content and offer tips and advice to transmedia – the technique of telling a single story or story across multiple platforms including, but not limited to, games, books, events, films and television
Adapting the Screenplay to either Novel or Graphic Novel?
I have two screenplays that I've finished, and I've read an article on "Scriptmags" about adapting your screenplay into an IP (Intellectual Property), in order to increase your chances for a sale. And I've read it somewhere in David Troitter's "Screenwriting Bible", about doing Transmedia and adapti...

So would Losttime comics be consider as Transmedia?
We are telling a stories though video games comicbooks and cartoon and movies...or want to..lol.
Yes. I would think so. It seems to be transferrable across the board, and it transcends all genres. Excellent choice of your work to represent this question, btw. :)
A great example of Transmedia Cross Platform story telling was Dark Knight 2008. (Before the film even came out). Not only comics, internet and gaming outlets ....but massive public interactive live p...

The video is available on the site long after the streaming has ended, and the MP4 can be downloaded and then uploaded to YouTube, where you can make it more public and opt...

Radio show content
I've always enjoyed Old Time Radio and I'm building a sound room/recording studio at home. I'm curious if there is any interest in this medium ?
Check out my screenplay/children's book site. osheawright.com
I love old time radio horror shows! The witches tale, the hermits cave, lights out! All of them there's so many! I think they could be a hit again! I would love to try to put an original "old time horror" podcast out there! Other than a script I wouldn't know where to start though.

A beautiful setting for a podcast.
Your next move, after recording some material, would be to make that available online. Audio dramas are making a comeback - "Wolf 359", "Limetown" and "Night Vale" are just a few examples of fiction-based pod-casts. Good luck with your new studio!

How to Pitch a MOW
Hi, all. I pitched a series that does not look like it's going to get picked-up the way I had envisioned it. Instead, I reworked what I had into a screenplay but, since it is based on a TV series, I want to be able to stress that in a pitch session. This is not a pilot (although it could be reworked...

Is this that Dr. Who movie to be made up of scenes filmed by various folk around the country? About a year ago, a group of scatter brains tried to convince me to get involved.
Buying Youtube Subscribers?
I get a ton of spam about offers to sell YouTube Likes, subs, views, etc. for my YouTube channel.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has done this and what their experience has been with it?
Did it work? Did you get scammed? Just curious about peoples' experiences.
Yeah Richard Thrift you're probably right. It's tough though because people want to see subscribers to believe something is worth spending time on in the first place. I think we're all a little shallo...

VR film making

Case Study: The Guild.
Why was this series successful and others have fallen flat? I put the credit squarely on the writing and character development. What are your thoughts? Also, the "confessional," cuts allows the story to read both as individual episodes or each season as a movie. Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog shared this motif to great effect.

Best is to check out FILM FREEWAY. They are the clearing House for festivals around the world.

Expand commentEach festival will have their own rules. I don't suppose many would object to the screening of a film made by a person involved in the running of a festival, especially if they were volunteers. However it would probably be in poor taste if the film or the particular individual won an award at the festival, so such a film should be clearly marked as not in competition. I would also imagine that the bigger festivals might have more issues with it....

THERE ARE NO RULES. Anyone can pay a pound and set up "A FILM FESTIVAL". If in doubt check out Companies House website. ART RULES....BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS CHANCERS!
