Filmmaking / Directing : Finding a good Director by J G Blodgett

J G Blodgett

Finding a good Director

Hello all. Just a general question. I am meeting with some investors very soon about a script that I wrote. The producer/Director that I usually work with is not super excited about this script and, although I know he will still be a huge support when it comes to managing the project, I may be going this one alone when it comes to directing and deciding a route for distribution.

My question is: How attainable is a good indie director (preferably with some kind of a name ) through sites such as IMDB Pro, with potential good connections for distribution once the film is shot?

I realize this is a loaded question, and mostly I am hoping it will open up dialogue that leads to plenty of sound advice. Looking forward to hearing from whoever wants to chime in. Thank you in advance for your time.

I am an indie (DGA) director that is looking for great material with funding attached to get it filmed. Feel free to check me out at www.definingmoment.co (not.com). I can also recommend my fellow filmmakers at the Alliance of Women Directors. http://www.allianceofwomendirectors.org/ (we are all fairly well connected). Best wishes on your project.

JG Another way is for those of us who are not directors but know and work with many Directors to pass along your info. Thing is, it would help to know who to pass it too. A horror story to someone who does comedy just isn’t going to work and wastes everyone’s time. Perhaps a very brief synopsis and a budget range could be included to help us put you in touch with appropriate directors. Regina sounds like a perfectly credible candidate but only if the material suits the type of pictures she wishes to do. That same matching of story and director will be important to anyone who is doing more than looking for any gig.

Help us help you, please tell us a little about your picture?

Thank you both for your comments and advice. Regina, I have requested your network approval so I can send you a private message.

Good afternoon J G. If you are still in search of a director I would love to throw my hat in the ring. I have directed two features, one of which will be available this fall and the other is currently doing the festival circuit. Below is a link to my website where you can view my work and Id love to pitch for your project. Have a great day and best of luck in your search.
