ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Hollywood: Home of the true 1%. Behind this gated community are the kidney-shaped pools and impeccable hedge rows, million-dollar mansions and Lamborghini excess. This is the Country Club of which you are most definitely not a member. You cannot apply to this club. The gatekeepers know you are not of their cloth. They can smell you. You are the Unwashed. They can smell your wanting, your desperation to join them on the inside. They have set up impenetrable motes and ramparts to stop you. How will you scale these walls?

Ask yourself: Do I need to be in Los Angeles to consider yourself a screenwriter? Do I need to be in Los Angeles to write a movie that launches your career? Do I need to have an agent or manager to place well in screenwriting contests? The answer is -- NO! Back before the digital age John Cassavetes made films for low money. So did Orson Wells, who made bad wine commercials to finance his low-budget Shakespeare adaptations. Robert Rodriguez literally wrote the book, and major directors like Spike Lee and Aronofsky got their starts on the cheap. Credit-card filmmaking has been around forever, the watchword being film making. These early low-budget efforts were all shot on film-- which then brings us to what is new in the equation: Technology. There has never been a better time to break into the business. Now all you need is a script that can be shot for a micro-budget price and a producer with full knowledge of fund-raising, budgeting, and scheduling. It might seem like it, but this is not Everest you're scaling. This can be done!

Paul Peditto and Boris Wexler, two long-time micro-budget filmmakers, have put together a webinar that takes you through the full process of making your film happen. This will be instruction for the full range of writers, producers, and directors--from someone writing/directing their first movie, to more advanced filmmakers who have been through the process but are looking for tips to wring value out of every last dollar. Of particular interest will be the case study of Chat, a movie Paul and Boris just wrapped, which has been picked up for North American distribution by Gravitas Ventures for Christmas, 2015.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Discover brainstorming techniques for stories that can be shot for a micro-budget
  • Review the Top 10 rules for writing a micro-budget screenplay
  • Gain insight on the pre-production process, from location scouting to casting to crewing up
  • Follow the journey of Chat, a $44,000 micro-budget film, from idea to North American distribution
  • Compare and contrast different budgets. Find the one that fits your movie
  • Prioritize what you absolutely have to pay for, and what you should NOT pay for
  • Learn about the current distribution landscape--do you need a name actor?
  • Clarify the process of working with actors, and if you need SAG actors in your movie
  • Define tips to help you "make your day", even if you're a first time director.
  • Learn how to maximize director collaboration with the writer, the composer, the editor
  • Review the scoring of the film, sound design on the cheap, how to work with your composer, and how much you really need to pay for scoring and sound design
  • Gain insight on what actually happens in a Post House
  • Discuss successful (and not successful!) strategies for marketing your film in the current marketplace glutted by product
  • Clarify your film festival strategy. How much money will you need for submissions, how much should you spend?

WHO SHOULD LISTEN?

  • First time writers, directors and producers trying to maximize every dollar they spend
  • Writers looking for tips to save money at script level, before the movie is even shot
  • Writers tired of the L.A. grind, looking for self-produced alternatives
  • Writers living outside of L.A., looking to break into Hollywood by making a cheap film as their first film
  • Film school students gearing up for their first feature-length movie
  • Producers looking for creative ways to fund their projects
  • Producers looking for ways to budget and schedule for maximum dollar impact
  • First time directors seeking advice on casting, location scouting, and crewing up
  • Directors seeking way to squeeze that last dollar into the production

Awesome product!!!
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
Wow when they describe these magnets as “super string” they are not joking! Magnets are so strong you must be careful when placing them on your metal cabinet, lest it pinch your finger when the magnet grabs the metal! This is an awesome product. The hooks have a hole in their base that fits over a threaded post / bolt coming out of the center of the magnet and the kit comes with two washers, lock washers, and bolts to attach the hooks to the magnets. Takes about one minute per magnet to assemble. Once on the wall they feel like they will hold a lot of weight though I did not try to test the upper limit. No problem at all holding yard tools and the like. The hooks or arms have a nice rubberized coating and extend about 4.5” out from the wall. At $15 each these seemed a little pricy but wow what a great solution for hanging things on metal walls. They work so well I will be buying more of these! I actually have some other similar very strong round magnets made for a similar purpose … but they do not have the “built-in” hooks like these do and it makes a big difference for the usefulness! Considering all of that I think they are a great value. Item reviewed: MUTUACTOR Updated Super Strong Magnetic Hooks,40lbs, 2-pack
