I don’t know, probably Sony [parent company]. Do you know what’s good? The thing about this movie is all these different characters. When they first meet, it’s like, ‘Oh, that’s Tom Hanks, that’s Chris Tucker. That’s Paul Rudd. That’s this guy,’ and the next thing you know, ‘Oh, that’s this guy.’ And it’s fun. I’ve […]

The number of people involved in movie making – directors, cinematographers, actors, writers, set designers, sound designers, sound engineers, and so forth – is the same in almost every industry. But that doesn’t mean they’re equals. Every company has a set of directors whose focus is on production, and who are therefore expected to put […]

There’s a pretty simple formula for getting film clients, just make sure that your profile doesn’t look too similar or too different, you will be contacted by the right people.

The main things they share are ideas, and ideas are not as well communicated as a screenplay. Is there a scene in The Matrix that you are particularly […]

This is one of the many questions that film educators will ask themselves in the coming years. And one of the most important questions is: “What films do you want our students to see?” In some ways, the film program is like a computer for students. It’s a set of questions that most students aren’t […]

I’ve always been more interested in the practical side of filmmaking, and I got very interested learning how to make motion pictures. I started doing all these short films of people working in the craft, and that was my first experience with the craft. I liked that there was an acknowledgement that there was nothing […]

Then you have to get in touch with agents, directors and production companies to offer your services. After that there are an innumerable choices that will allow you to get into […]
