No Whining if you do not get your DVD....

Okay FILMSTERS,

If you have not emailed your address, please do so, or do not stand there aimlessly peering into the black hole of your mailbox hoping for 10 short films to arrive. Seriously, we are not psychic. Wish we were, but we are not. So speak up, write, ask...and it shall be yours! That goes for staff and intern as well!

Hello Everyone, As the heat of summer bears down on us, its a great time to go to the movies! It's also a good time to think about what you are going to pitch at film camp on day one. Here are a few tips to help you think of a good story. 1. It must have a beginning, a middle and an end. 2. Good characters who have a motivation to act, feel, change or react to something in the storyline. 3. Think of the structure of your story...is it unique, surprising? Does it have a twist? or is it told in flashbacks and representational imagery? 4. Something should be "at stake" in the story...what does the protagonist stand to gain or lose at the story's end? 5. What genre? Action/adventure, comedy, psychological thriller, suspense, horror, drama, animation, mockumentary, love story or sci-fi? Only 20 days til camp....
