"Is it getting heated in here? or is it just me? FYI: The ability to alter the subject line and therefore create a new thread is built into the system because if a change of subject should be started in a new thread, as the forum Gods have dictated. I can see how this is a problem if there is not a complete topic change and the person does not understand that altering the subject creates a new thread. But then, it's just our failing that our users don't understand our interface. So, please, don't get mad at each other, get mad at me :) Give me hell and I will see what I can do to help. cheers :) " [More]

"If I remember correctly my first movie was The Fox and the Hound, but seeing as I was born after that was released, I think i was taken by my Dad to see it at a novelty movie theater in a barn somewhere. I don't know where the heck that was. But I had to have been at least 4 or 5. Some where near the house in PA. It was probably 1988. Otherwise, I remember watching Benji. " [More]

"Check out this week's FilmCouch for more thoughts on the state of independent film, they probably put it more eloquently than I could: http://blog.spout.com/2008/09/ 26/filmcouch-89-choke-whats-up -with-independent-film-fantast ic-fest/ Also, if you're not subscribed to Spoutblog in an RSS reader, you should be. They are always posting great material on this subject and keeping their finger on the pulse of independent and Hollywood film. In fact you might just want to follow as many blogs as you cant find on the subject, then, when you are feeling adventurous, you can engage in the discussion too. " [More]

The Future of Independent film
By csprague in Filmmakers Forum
"There seems to be a complete shift happening in the independent film, especially in terms of promotion. I am fairly new to the subject, but if I had to summarize what I am seeing it would be something like: Old way- Make a film, cross your fingers, submit to festivals, sweat in your shorts, and if you were lucky enough to get into a festival, pray that a company would pick you up for exhibition and distribution. New way- Make a film, submit to festivals, but spend most of your time promoting your film through social networks online. Even big companies know that a successful promotion package includes a killer Myspace Movie profile. You can now have a Facebook product page where people become fans of your film. And then there is Spout, where we want to work our tails off to connect you with your audience. Make sense? The new way requires a lot more work from you, but the benefits are all yours and it costs very little, if anything to do it. The internet has managed to change everyt ... " [More]

To Live

September 24th - To Live (1994)
By csprague in Movie Watchin Wednesday
"I watched this one in my intro class for foreign film, it was probably the movie that made me really appreciate filmmaking outside of the US the most. There is so much I don't know or understand about China and it's history, I found this movie to be a good primer on the subject. Anyway, check out the movie synopsis and some other people's reviews on the detail page. We will be watching the film in two parts since it is so long. If you miss one week it will be available to borrow if you would like to see the whole thing. It is subtitled. " [More]
