...Thanks!! screening at the AFI Silver was a real treat and Silverdocs was great. We went to NYC for a few days after the festival and just got back to Seattle. I wish I could make it to New Zealand. I was told my short is playing with "Mutum" a feature from Brazil. However, I could not f...

....here is a link to the documentary festival that I'm attending next week. It's a great one.

I don't have to worry about selling my film. I'm just going to take in the experience and get ramped up for my next short film production later this summer.

...it's always a money problem because a successful 4-wall requires a substantial promotional effort and that means spending time courting the press and hiring a great graphic designer to make posters that every teenager wants to hang in their bed room. That costs a lot of money and it's hard to fin...

..the internet is great for promotional efforts, but still not a cinematic way to view films - in my opinion. I think the future is in microcinemas. An important part of the cinema experience is getting people together in the dark to marvel over the magic lantern. In some ways the cinema arts are in...

...this is a timely essay - and worth-reading heads up for those in the profession:

..cool. Good to know. I only have one battery for mine and it's been re-celled two years ago and works fine; however, I need more so if you end up re-celling some and want to re-sell those - please let me know cause I would consider buying. As an alternative I may have to find one of those AA kits f...

..wish I could make it. Seattle feels like a long way from Cambridge these days. Looks like a great event.

...Digibeta, BetaSP and DVcam basically all look the same when you are projecting in the cinema. Digibeta will buy you a little wiggle room in post if you decide to do any chroma work, but of course the best practice is to make sure your colorist understands what you want at transfer time then you d...

....Right on Chris! Congratulations!

Do you have a three or four page "treatment" or "step-outline"? I'd be happy to read it and offer feedback - just send it along.

...I'm going to be in NYC that last week of June - but my film is screening at the Long Island Film Expo which runs July 9th - 17th. Should you be interested in attending the fest for a day or two - I'm sure I could get you a pass. I just can't afford to go - bad timing for me - wish I could - seems...

...promoting my film here. I just want to share with you all the news that my small gauge film "Shikashika" is screening at the AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Center just outside Washington DC as part of the SILVERDOCS: AFI/Discovery Channel Documentary Festival. www.shikashika.com Two sc...

....what a great artist. His last film was his first documentary: "I had never made a documentary before filming Sketches of Frank Gehry and the idea made me nervous. But once I started I discovered that there is something liberating about the freedom of documentary work. It was surprisingly im...

...I have also used AGFA Rodinal.... works fine. I telecine all my films so I don't bother with the bleach step. I just process as negative.

...yeah.. LOC spent millions creating this online catalog. It's an amazing resource and lots of Kodachromes: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html

...I bought mine from an outfit in Florida and it came with a syringe of oil. I put a couple drops in every few rolls. I've heard a lot of Filmo people say the sewing machine stuff is a go - but not tried it.
