Welcome Jack. You already have a list of great titles there. As a first time producer of yet a small production I can only look with admiration at your list of productions. Filmbudget looks interesting. Eventhough I am busy with a short at the moment (thriller) I am hoping to go into features, if I can find the right team (the current director and I are also writers). Any inside tips on how to produc a small movie?

Wow! Welcome, Jack. Honor to have you here

As a writer I could not pass on sending out a network request. I am sending out some positive vibes on the possibility of future projects.

Jack Binder

Thanks all for the very kind comments. Great to be here on Stage 32! Great community! @ Raymond, watch every penny, budget frugally and keep to your budget. Wear a lot of hats, everyone on the team, get free locations. ;)

Oh wow, I went to your Sundance premiere of Upside of Anger. Was one of my faves of that year. Very cool to have you here.

Jack, so far I wear all but the directors and actors hat :) So we need more people, but the ball is rolling. We're hoping to gather some money through crowdfunding. Free locations is a bit tough with a hospital :) And we also need an ambulance and the police :) But I will have the final screenplay tomorrow, so I can work on the break down and the budget. I know I can do it, but the director tends to think big :)

Raymond Zachariasse

Stephen Olson I did the same :) I think we could all learn from Jack.

Hi Jack, I have completed 3 movie scripts for US & China markets with paranormal, fantasy elements in them (based on my three novels, which have been published in English & Chinese worldwide). Can you please connect me with someone who might be interested in acquiring the film rights. I have been tracking and studying the US & China film markets for years and understand the audiences' tastes. There are lots of opportunities in the projects. Thanks a lot!
