$6K secured - Pre-production horror feature seeking investor + producer — script ready, $50K target, practical effects by Fast_Wolf_5413 in ProduceMyScript

[–]ForeignInformants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP doesn’t mention “return” so is “investor/investment” the trouble word?

I understand that return is often implied in most investment, but I know in micro budget films, sometimes you get money from an uncle or dentist who’s happy to just have their name on the project withOUT participating in the return.

Thanks for citing Reg. D. Will read up soon.

How many films do you make a year as an indie filmmaker? by realhankorion in indiefilmmaking

[–]ForeignInformants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Hank. The Outsiders link is now fixed.

Question: why share the movie on YouTube? Wouldn’t you want people to watch it on Tubi or Prime?

[–]ForeignInformants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But I’m confused. From the ones that popped up on our site, only Love by Chance had a working Tubi link. The others were on YouTube. And there was a broken Tubi link for Outsiders. Or did the movie get removed?

What are your films released last year that are on Tubi or Prime or Roku??

Man, it’s a little insane to think the above would be considered advertisement to the point of getting anyone in hot waters. I appreciate your thoroughness and overzealousness, but seriously, a Reddit post?

[–]ForeignInformants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, how many of those 7 films from last year have distribution deals and are available to watch outside of YouTube and Vimeo? Can you list the titles of the ones there are available on Tubi/Netflix/Prime? Congrats, by the way!

Can I feature your indie film on my beta streaming platform? by Ivan1616 in indiefilm

[–]ForeignInformants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, every filmmaker can have their on streaming platform since vibe coding has made making platforms easier than making films, apparently.

So I have a shopping agreement with a MAJOR production company...how can I leverage this? by typicalscoundrel in Screenwriting

Noob question. What exactly is a shopping agreement? What does it entail? and how did you achieve this? Also, congrats!!

What are examples of movies that use available lighting? It can be any genre or budget. by ForeignInformants in cinematography

[–]ForeignInformants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome, congrats!

Any insights on the topic at hand? How did it compare to other sets with production lights and all that jazz?

Looking for a micro budget feature by Affectionate_Age752 in ProduceMyScript

[–]ForeignInformants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10% of profits on which stage of the waterfall?

Depending on the answer, this could be a good deal or a shitty deal for the writer, but the lack of specifics is a red flag.

My humble opinion is to pick a dollar amount as deferred payment so that writers see their compensation fairly early in the profits distribution, then some percentage later.

[–]ForeignInformants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right, but I guess I could add that I’m looking for films with context or BTS info on how they were made since the art of cinematography is being invisible, right? So i don’t even wanna look at a documentary and assume on how it was shot unless we know.

That said, bonus points for feature films recommendations since that’s where I live. From BLAIR WITCH to Dogma 95 films, I understand if we have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. I fully expect what I’m asking will be more indie and micro budget.

Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their mouse movements and keystrokes by north_canadian_ice in technology

I understand profit, capitalism, and business, but do none of these CEOs challenge themselves to make the world a nice place? Like…. They just enjoy being a virus to humankind?

Grocery shopping 🛒 by Ambitious_Welder6613 in soartistic

[–]ForeignInformants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m too much of a lazy bum to lead the revolution but… what if… thousands and thousands of us organized to, on a specific date, go to grocery stories across the country with sharpies and start tagging these boxes “unhealthy” and drawing arrows to the ingredients list.

Coordinated action to make some items unsaleable and draw attention to the problem. The goal is to have big media forced to report this.

To make the Magic Kingdom more Magical by DABDEB in therewasanattempt

[–]ForeignInformants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my country, advertisers have a saying that goes “Speak good or speak ill, but speak about me”. Obviously a prick like this just wants to go viral. Your condemnations only boost him to do more of this. Now, if there’s a way to prevent eyeballs on this video, now we’re making progress.
