I am beginning a two month research project on a topic of my choice. I chose filmmaking because since the day I watched Jurassic park I have been fascinated in the world of filmmaking and what it takes to make one. i have seen many movies and have also seen the special features of those movies. What I am interested in is how you begin production of a movie and the steps it takes make a good one. Since by the looks of your web site and its information, I was hoping you could answer a few questions regarding filmmaking. 1. How did you start filmmaking? 2. How and where do ideas for movies come from? 3. How do you get a cast and crew? 4. How many people do you really need on your crew? 5. What equipment works best when working indoors and when working outdoors? 6. How do you get a production company to finance your movie? I want to thank you in advance for your assistance. If you know anyone else who might be of assistance in helping me with my search in this area, I would appreciate it.

My name is Steven and I wanted to say Thank you! For putting out sound advice for all to read. I've been a working actor for 13 yrs and even though I truly love the craft, I became stifled and stagnant with my creativity and the industry. But I always enjoyed the directing/story telling side of things. As a matter of fact that's what initially guided me to becoming an actor. As of late, I am in my 1st semester of Grad school ( LIU @ Brooklyn,NY campus) for Media Arts: Directing/Acting in TV & Film Production. What you said about "not cornering yourself" as only an actor or whatever in this Media Arts field is so true. You only do yourself a disservice if you choose that path. Once again thanks for the encouraging advice and belief that nothing is never too late to pursue in our competitive field. Hi! My name is Steven and I wanted to say Thank you!

Comedy Shorts film festival and it was awesome! I saw a panel with Wayne Brady and Jeff Garland, hilarious. There was a lot of networking, met a ton of people, made great connections and I didn't even have a film there. My friend was one of the screenplay finalists for the feature screenplay competition. She didn't end up winning, but she said she felt like she won because she had such a good time and a couple of huge companies requested her script. Definitely on my future submit list. It was a really good experience! http://lacomedyshorts.com/ Last April, I went to the L.A. Comedy Shorts film festival and it was awesome! I saw a panel with Wayne Brady and Jeff Garland, hilarious.
