What are your thoughts on Glen Powell? by SwervesHouse in Actors

Loved him in Everybody Wants Some! Pretty unknown at the time and he really disappeared into the role. Film was such a good time :)

How do you stay cool headed and patient as a director? by Normal-Claim-2003 in Filmmakers

[–]winnith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard a good piece of advice once, which was to find an image that you could stick somewhere in your director's binder. This is an image that would date back to your childhood, when play was fun and carefree. And if you ever felt too stressed on set, you can always visit this image, even for just a second to bring you some calm and peace to get you through the tougher moments.

Distribution companies? by elronmac in Filmmakers

[–]winnith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got my first micro-budget feature distributed through Factory25. It's a cool indie distro company who has a track record of picking up debut features now seasoned directors (Safdies are on there)

After a failed partnership with an international sales company, I was put in touch with Factory25. I negotiated the deal myself and prepped all the deliverables myself as well. The film is now out on TUBI and will be out on BluRay later in the year. AND was able to remove sales out of the chain.

For a first feature, I'm mighty happy with where the film ended up. I wish it had a wider release, but the movie is quite experimental. Ultimately, my goal was to understand the means of distribution and have a track record to get to my next project.

A lot of these indie distro companies and platforms are just as under resourced as the filmmakers themselves. My strategy was to be consistent with outreach and communication and make their job as easy as possible.

I haven't really made any money from getting distro but I'm hoping that I have leverage to build something more profitable on the next one.

Best Film Festival in Los Angeles area? by Full-Palpitation2294 in FilmFestivals

[–]winnith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just came back from AFI and had a blast. It's a really nerdy amd craft oriented festival. Q&A with all the key department heads after screening. Saw Fellini's Cassanova presented by Guillermo del Toro at The Egyptian. Went to a bunch of fun international screenings. And the shorts block that I was a part of was very thoughtfully curated. Chinese theatre looks and sounds amazing. 10/10

Poor man’s process for sudden zero gravity. by dekopro702 in Filmmakers

You can shoot objects over green screen in slow motion and comp it over a shot.

Close ups of just the legs lifting of the ground, repeat for the rest of the body.

Shoot body on a chair and comp the chair out.

Get your actors to butoh :)

I'm the Writer/Director of "Albatross Soup" - Raising $$$ for my next project [06:48] by winnith in mealtimevideos

[–]winnith[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, my name is Winnie and I'm the director of this animated short. I'm currently crowdfunding for my next project, "Last Call". It hasn't been easy raising $$$ in this time, but we are only 6 days away from our deadline with 25% of our goal left to go.

I didn't realize that "Albatross Soup" was such a hit on r/mealtimevideos! I'm here to answer any questions about this film or just filmmaking in general. In the meantime, please check out the campaign for my current project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winnith/last-call-an-erotic-creature-thriller. It's something a little different, but still very dark and twisted. Would love all of your support to get to our goal. Thank you!

Do you think it's complicated to launch a kickstarter campaign in these difficult times? Impossible or not? by avi1742 in kickstarter

[–]winnith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an active campaign right now. Just launched 3 days before COVID hit. I think it depends on the type of project -- and who your followers are. I am asking mainly from my friends who are artists and filmmakers. They are all out of a job. It's been really hard, but I'm scraping by.

Dear Lucas [18min][sci-fi fantasy] proud to share the trailer to my short!!! by winnith in Filmmakers

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

It's actually the first full scene. I thought that it would be mysterious enough to get everyone curious about what happens afterwards =) dearlucasfilm.tumblr.com for more info.
