Hello all. LineProducing.com features a Q&A column with Entertainment Attorney Brandon Blake. This week, he actually answered one of my questions - so I thought I'd share his answer here. Please take a look: http://lineproducing.com/index.php/forum/25-entertainment-lawyer-answers......

Hi Stephen, I like to act in movies.
Enjoy! http://lineproducing.com/index.php/forum/22-job-listings/152-uta-job-lis... Best of luck on your projects.
Is the Indie film explosion really going to work with so many not so great films being made, or is it a great grounding for aspiring artists to flex their muscles and be recognized?
Well then, I guess you just answered your own original question - and it feels like you always knew it. So, "Yes" there are more opportunities for actors to get noticed with the perceived "boom" in proliferation of smaller projects. -- All my best. Take care.
It is a great opportunity. As long as the films YOU personally contribute are great. Its all that matters, if everyone starts doing that... It will be okay!
True Aldon, there are lot's of people trying to jump onto the trend like Zombie and End of world films that are not quite good enough. They are good to see at least for what we should not do.
Hey...does anyone have connections at HBO, Showtime, Showcase, FX, TMN, etc...have a Pilot to showcase..cheers
Your best bet is getting yourself an agent because that is the only person those people will talk to and even if you call that is what they will say.
I agree, get an agent. Your chances of "simply" walking in the door and getting your material read is near nil. Sorry - that's how it is. Best of luck.
TV doesn't want to make the same mistake the music industry made by allowing unsolicited materials. Getting thousands of CDs every day. Best bet is an agent most definitely.
Thanks for checking out my profile. I am a DGA UPM who does budgets and schedules - then makes the movie according to the plan. That's what I do, and I love doing it.

Press to the button on your Stage 32 page that reads 'Expand My Network'. A new page will pop up and the people listed should be the closest Stage 32 Members to you geographically. Good Luck!
There are many screenplay/scriptwriting competitions online. My question is how safe is a writer's copyright during these competitions? I have read somewhere that one cannot copyright an idea but a product, e.g. a script etc. What would stop an unscrupulous person from stealing an idea from a script...

Beautifully said Judith. Fear of thievery or being blackballed are usually symptomatic of new writers - I know because I suffered from the same thing. Don't live in fear. Be bold. Get your ideas out t...

You should use both WGA and copy right. The way I see it is that it will be a lot of trouble for somebody to take your idea like a logline and synopsis or even a script and create a new story based on...

Write the story, register the story, and deal with a thief if it happens. I can not tell you how many times I have seen my ideas on the big screen, because someone else thought it would be a good idea...

I'm looking for a large outdoor space where a small crew can build a few little set pieces and shoot over night. The scene is supposed to take place in the jungle so any wooded areas would be great! I'm open for different options but the perfect location would be something like a ranch or a farm. We...
