I just got back from AFM (The American Film Market) where we've sold additional DVD rights to other countries. As much as I'd like it, I don' t think this film will see the movie theatres even in a limited run. It's straight to video fare, and possibly TV. We're aiming at the SCI FI CHANNEL and hope...

abstract short film (serious or funny?)

Ever go to a film festival & then watched a blurry, grainey, incomprehensible, random assemblage of images called "abstract"? I made one from the underexposed, unusuable footage from my narrative movie "Bitter Old Man". I'm hoping to submit this to film festivals & see if...

The question I have for you, is how to get the people to know about the casting in the first place? the 3rd paragraph of the article covers this... We have to let people know about the auditions.
