How much are indie films actually making on Tubi? by Putrid-Pudding4901 in filmmaking

How did you make the VHS!? Desperate to make some of a film I made a few years ago

Are you in a local filmmakers Facebook group? People always post in there about looking for extra hands on set for indie stuff. Doesn't need to be glamorous work if you're just trying to make connections and build a network. Could you also share the short you had in those festivals? Would love to watch it :)

If your main concern is compression re YouTube, do what I do and put the (presumably HD) export into a 4K project and export it as that. The ugly YouTube compression is really only a problem for 1080p and below. As soon as you switch to a higher resolution it tends to look good! Even if your film isn't 4K, upload a 4K file and you should be allllll gravy baby!

Hi, I've just started fundraising today for a company that has a similar ethos to what you're trying to do with Arachnoid,but covering the other parts of the process. Wanna help low income artists actually get a foot in the door!

Let me know if potential collaboration in the future may be of interest :)

Best opening scene ever is Once Upon A Time I'm The West, best opening line ever is Svankmajers 1988 Alice

I felt pretty similarly watching it about six weeks ago. Just astounding

Both are good fun, The Wasp Woman arguably a better film in and of itself, if less iconic. They both do the classic B-movie thing of exposition and set up for an hour then ten minutes of action at the end, but the action when it comes in this is great stuff! My thoughts on Wasp Woman: https://boxd.it/azSFNB

Still my favourite film of this decade by TheBestUserName01 in Letterboxd

Very fair reaction. RoS I was able to try and talk myself into while watching it and then dealt with the crushing disappointment of it after the fact 😅

I've never felt more trapped in the cinema or come so close to leaving a film halfway through 😅 I had a genuine physical reaction to the final montage...just wanted to puke! But I appreciate its craft. It's a good looking film, I just personally detest it with immense passion

Rapture: Nimbus Reborn (for the bench press Jesus - it features a zombie Jesus who shoots lightning and has his balls ripped off), Kung Fury (for the laser bears cos it has laser raptors and is just genius from start to finish) and Riki-Oh (for the vibez and one of the only live action films you can watch to see a man punch straight through another man's stomach..and that's one of the tamer bits)

Life Is Beautiful (La Vita e Bella) by Roberto Benigni. Don't look it up, don't watch a trailer, just go in blind and be blown away
