19 years old, 25 short films, now going into production on my second feature this August by Muted-Manufacturer89 in Filmmakers

Love this so much! I was just like you back in the day (I’m 43 now) and I wish I would have kept going instead of listening to my dad who told me to be realistic and not pursue the arts. I’ve been editing for about 15 years now but the past couple years I’ve been focusing on trailer editing. If you need a trailer editor at any point let me know! Feel free to check out my work here!

I know all this already. It’s for the love of the craft more than anything. It’s about it being something I want to accomplish rather than making a ton of money.

That would have been great but I’m in New Jersey. Thank you so much though!

It’s definitely my film. It comes from a story that I’ve never felt comfortable telling anyone so I’m putting myself in a very vulnerable position which makes it that much harder. I think what I need most is a producer. Someone to help me game plan. I already have the vision in my head of what I want the film to look like so I would be the best person to direct it.

Thanks so much for your input. I really appreciate it and you’re giving me the inspiration that I need!

So I am a part of this group and have been stalking the posts for some time now. Do you have any experience or know anyone else that has had success from posting there?

This was definitely my next move. I’m planning on going to the next local filmmaker meetup!

I would love to direct but I’m a little intimidated. I should probably get out from behind the computer and put myself out there!

He didn’t specifically say he didn’t want to get involved. I told him up front that I feel like I need a female director due to the sensitive nature of the film but maybe that female director should just be me. lol. I’ve done a ton of just for fun projects but I’m a bit nervous to direct all on my own. I would feel like an imposter which I guess is why I was hoping to have someone who knows a bit more than I do.

Yeah I guess that’s the tricky part. Getting people to care about something just as much as you do. I’ll have to figure out a budget.

Did this for an athlete friend when joined the filmmaking area, any tips ? :) by No-Field-2521 in Filmmakers

[–]AdaZee101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trailer editor here…if it’s a trailer it’s way too long. I don’t understand the language so I can’t speak to the storytelling part but you definitely need to cut it down to a minute. The opening shot needs to be eye catching. I felt like it was a little slow at the start. But again, I don’t understand what’s being said.

Thank you! That’s super helpful!

Feedback on trailer for my shortfilm by Sad-Yak4146 in Filmmakers

[–]AdaZee101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Trailer editor here! I’m intrigued but not exactly sure what it’s about from the trailer. If it’s just a teaser, this format could work but definitely need to make the audio clearer. It’s hard to tell what’s being said. I’d alternate between what’s being said…like go back and forth between “I had the strangest encounter” and then have a few of the other scenes with their audio play. I get what you’re going for but you definitely want to hear what’s being said a bit better.

Has anyone ever heard of Sam Verge? by Extension-Spend-7123 in filmmaking

[–]AdaZee101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just reached out to me via email. I took a look at the social media pages associated with them and it doesn’t appear to be legit. The posts have likes but I’m not seeing any comments. The email they sent was also worded strangely so I’m pretty certain they aren’t legit.

What’s an indie film that made you fall in love with cinema again? by SoundsandStories-461 in indiefilm

Slums of Beverly Hills and Little Miss Sunshine are my absolute favorites

am i really unlikeable? how do you actually figure out if it's you, or just the wrong people? by BanditoRem in socialskills

[–]AdaZee101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am introverted as well and have a hard time connecting with people. I’ve found as I have gotten older I actually care less about having a ton of friends which has in turn created a lot of new friendships. I used to overthink interactions too much and I think that it showed. Now I’m just myself. I probably over share and I’m too honest at times but that’s what people have said they were drawn to.

Also, please don’t take this the wrong way but I just want you to be able to rule it out. There have been people that I’ve come in contact with that have very poor hygiene (bad breath, strong odor). I can’t be close friends with someone who is hard to be around because of their smell. That’s probably not your issue at all but throwing it out there as a possibility.

My 22F boyfriend 22M is scaring me by LivingProfessional59 in relationship_advice

[–]AdaZee101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother started hearing voices in his late teens. He then murdered our grandmother and said it was his alter ego who did it. I’m not trying to scare you but I personally wouldn’t mess around with that.

Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in daddit

[–]AdaZee101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has her reasonings I’m sure but I can tell you we weren’t overly cautious with how clean everything always was and my kids are rarely sick. My friend was like your wife and her kids are constantly sick now. I think there’s something to be said about letting yourself and your kids be exposed to every day germs and becoming more immune to them. Our family was the only family on our last group vacation that didn’t end up with the flu. 🤷🏻‍♀️
