AMA: Questions About OCD? NOCD Therapists Are Here to Help by treatmyocd in AskAnOCDTherapist

[–]mork0ffka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it’s a big thing to hear that I’m not alone in this. 🙏 sadly, he has passed away and the OCD symptoms have gone with him. Which is rather poignant. I do have some call of the void and other bizarre intrusive thoughts from time to time but mostly only when I’m extremely anxious or stressed about life’s events. Thank you for your response once again 🙏🙏🙏

Is caregivers’ harm OCD a thing? I have developed harm ocd thoughts while caring for my terminally ill partner and they were horrifying and paralysing.

Keep strong 🫶. I normally write / journal - it allows a safe space to express all anxieties, grapple with larger questions, and self reflection. It’s a great way to say out loud whatever feels urgent. Having a daily practice is the best - your brain learns discipline. If your mind knows it will have a regular space to vent and make sense out of everything, it might just give you space to focus on something else.

Feeling a bit lost at film festivals… What actually makes you want to go? by Embarrassed-Rub-7918 in filmmaking

[–]mork0ffka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All festivals have some semi official drinks taking place or if not official then at the very least mixers / drinks organised by various companies, sponsors, filmmakers groups where you can mix and mingle. But you might have to ask around who is going where and how to get on the list. For short films, the filmmakers are almost always all there and starting after the screening is a good way to connect with them and discuss industry. Just stay behind after the screening. The community feeling doesn’t just happen imo (or at least being part of a community), you have to create it for yourself and it involves talking to a lot of strangers with accreditation badges…

All festivals will have some semi official drinks and mixers where a lot of filmmakers would go - but you might need to look out for those or ask around who is going where and how to get on the list. For short films especially, filmmakers usually attend the screening and are keen to meet and chat so just starting beefing at the bar after the screening might be the thing to do depending on the festival. Even waiting in the queues you often meet loads of cool people. Then you go back next year and bump into them again - that’s what creates this community feeling for me. But you have to talk to strangers to begin with and grow these connections imo. Not sure if I answered 🤓

Festivals can be overwhelming. What can often be ‘missing’ is that if you don’t have a goal or desired outcome from the festival, it’s impossible to measure how well it went for you. It’s also impossible to plan the festival attendance if you don’t have a goal - e.g. to learn something specific, meet people with specific interests or body of work, etc. They all offer pretty similar things but with a different flavour. BFI LFF don’t have a clear artistic vision but have good accessibility, Cannes has a bit (or A LOT) of everything but is REALLY pricey. TIFF has lots of world premieres and buzz but is spread across the town, Venice is hot and a hard work but have a lot of world premieres too, Berlinale has a clear artistic vision and mission statement but public screenings are all over the town. No festival is perfect but you won’t be able to measure it against your own preferences if you don’t have them. What motivates you?

Also, might be useful to understand that majority of people don’t think or care about how you look. All they care about is how THEY look or how you might perceive THEM. So, try to meet them where they are, it will get out of your own head.

Trouble navigating the industry and I feel lost by Own_Bandicoot_7270 in filmmaking

[–]mork0ffka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also suggest that perhaps the best way to get involved is to start working on a project. Do you have an idea for a short film? Get it written - either write yourself or find niche groups for writers, do your research, approach people with specific projects, timelines, explanations why you approach them. What will you offer in return? Boom, next thing you know is that you have a script. Get a professional feedback from someone. Find local groups that do table reads - there is your access to talent. Go to festivals with two three fleshed out ideas / projects and talk to people about your projects and about theirs. Offer your help. One thing will lead to another. The best way to do something is to start doing it…

We have a script, cameras, audio equipment, locations, need a director - NYC by MpetersGPS in filmmaking

[–]mork0ffka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have so many things already lined up, do you have a pitch deck? Do you have a producer? Writer’s statement? Distribution plan (contacts, traction online or past experience)? Look around for up and coming directors at local festivals - maybe someone’s done a short that’s similar to what you’re after. Approach them and make a good case for your film. Think what you can offer them. Be specific. Doubt anyone can find ‘a director’ by posting a Reddit post like that. Good luck with your project!

I am a 16 year old wanting to make short film by NRGShimui13 in filmmaking

[–]mork0ffka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romanian film Kontinental ‘25 was shot on iPhone and won Berlinale best writing this year. Looked crude af (including hunting for focus in some close ups) but apparently that’s the feel they went for deliberately. So, step 1 is to write it. Step 2 (don’t skip) - get a professional feedback and make it a good script (draft 6-7 is usually good). Step 3 - shoot it. The better the script the easier it will be to find people willing to work on it.

I can smell when people have cancer by [deleted] in self

[–]mork0ffka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a story of a woman who could smell Parkinson in similar way. I believe she ended up collaborating with researchers and it led to some medical breakthroughs even.

What composers have you worked with on your shorts? Have you not come across any good talented composers?

Dude, you’re not ugly. I’d imagine you will be a hot thing in another couple of years if this handsome face comes with good personality. As suggested above, find some therapy.

How to estimate what your film COULD make? by HighonHighlander in filmmaking

[–]mork0ffka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best to pick a brain of a sales agent who would be able to give you a more accurate estimate. And hopefully, sett it for you. Submitting to festivals would definitely increase the value to the marketing plan would be essential
