I've been involved with a project called M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) for four years now. It was a Trump satire podcast that we turned into an animated web series pilot. The first episode placed in 27 contests and won three of them. We pitched it for a while, but unfortunately the market's...

Specialty Box-office.
For those of you writing or producing a film that is rich in social content, it’s great to see that The Zone of Interest is making the most out of the educational market. Check this out:

Geoff Hall POOR THINGS is a brilliant production and story wise. highly recommended!
Pat Savage thanks Pat. I’ll have to check that out.
Geoff Hall absolutely worth the watch!
There seems clear evidence for a kind of stuttering box-office recovery. I’m off to see Dune-2 this Friday with my son, so it will be interesting to see if the theatre is full. Personally, I can’t wait to see a story, where film meets spectacle on the big screen.
“All told, it’s likely that March’s t...
Expand postWell, if last night at my local Vue Cinema is anything to go by, it will do a lot for the box-office recovery.
Geoff Hall I couldn't make it through the first one when it was on free streaming. I doubt that I will ever watch part two. Like Mad Max Fury Road, it was a big yawn fest for me. I had to go back to C...
Expand commentDebbie Elicksen oh dear, Debbie. Geoff puts on his sad face and drops his device on the sofa, never knowing how Captain America could be a turn on and Dune a turn off.
Plus, it has to be seen on the b...
Expand commentGeoff Hall I will still pass. :) But I do like the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, if that counts for anything.
Debbie Elicksen nope! ;-)

Expand commentHa, our most discussed topic. Thank you for sharing this, Fran Harris! You know how I feel. It's so easy for creatives to get stuck in the perfectionism cycle. I certainly struggle with it when it com...
Expand commentPerfection is impossible. Plus it's a team sport. The whole idea is to finish a project together and share it - it's entertainment. Entertainment is completely possible.
Totally agree with the spirit of responses here, that it's really important to finish something, get it out there and move on to the next one - to not languish in striving for the impossibility of per...

The Vietnam industry is in its infancy:

Expand postI want to go to Vietnam so bad. I was developing a project for a few years that we would have filmed there, but it never made it to greenlight. I love that their market is growing!
Very cool, I watched that Vietnamese martial arts film Furie (2019) a few years ago on Netflix and it was dope. More please
Pat Alexander Cool. I'll check that out.
Debbie Elicksen it’s all a sign of the growing global film market. I can’t wait to see what they produce, but yes, it’s a small market and it needs the confidence of investors to help it flourish. It...

I'm producing a feature and I've already cast three of the top 5 roles. We don't have a director on board yet, but we've narrowed it down to 3 or 4 choices. The budget is a bit higher than I'd intended and I want to get a sales analysis before casting the other two top roles, so I can get some guida...

Yes, I'd rather see a film on a big screen! But that's soon to be a thing of the past. Everyone is glued to their phone / smart devices.
