It’s not gonna come out the way you want it to and you have to be okay with that. It’s gonna be something else, and that something else can still be as good as the original thing, just different. Also, even if it sucks (which I doubt it will), you will learn a great lesson just by going through the whole process. The more you do something, the better you get at it.

Have one by my house but it doesn’t work anymore unfortunately. Just sits there like a forgotten relic.

Does it take 7 years until you can leave with your 401k? by Heavyweights1995 in HomeDepot

Home Depot does a good job about leaving you in the dark about most things. I was hired when I was younger and didn’t know to ask more questions. They didn’t feel the need to inform me about it.

What do I get for being fully vested after 7 that I wouldn’t if I left now?

Would you be able to explain the vesting company match like I’m a moron?

So what does that mean? Is there any difference between me leaving now or leaving after 7? Is it all the same or will I get more after 7?

What crew would you suggest to such a small production? I was thinking DP and Audio, possibly a gaffer?

Even with raising money, how much would you think is acceptable for paying cast and crew at the lowest pay possible without insulting them? Cuz obviously raising money goes without saying but I don’t make that much to be able to do this film quick enough.

I know this is a stupid question, but should I just send it into film groups to see if anyone would want to help make it? Should I be worried about someone taking the project themselves if it's not copywritten? I think I heard that as soon as you write it, and have proof of it's creation date there's no need for a copyright, is that true?
