Lourvey and Amanda - just so you know, that wasn't in response to anything you said, but inspired by Tom's Hemingway quote! :)

Tom Freyer

Shellie Schmals

Tim Bragg - I adore Alan Alda! He also grew up surrounded by vaudeville & burlesque, his mom was a dancer!

Tim Bragg

I love Vaudeville. I love George Burns and Gracie Allen. I did a few years ago a four page short tribute to Vaudeville, nobody liked it.

Gerri Garrick

Responding many years too late Luis R. Quintero but I'd choose Nia Vardalos. She's the reason I wrote my first screenplay and I'd love to star in my own uplifting comedies as she has as well!...

Some of my favourite comedians started in Vaudeville or radio. I relate to Jack Benny because our personalities are similar and our comedy style are very much alike and he has a certain sarcasm that I also have.

Question

now once i have done this film, would it be in my best interest to put it into a festival? or would it be easier just to skip it and go straight to a distributor? Pros-Cons? distribution and promoting isnt in my strong field and i dont have knowledge in that part of it. Can someone answer? Thanks! Leon

Leon Reaper

dont worry, i have gotten used to peoples - doubt :). my esteem wont be affected

Leon Reaper

I have seen movies get distributed and they have made it with less than £100 :P

Leon Reaper

Leon Reaper

Facebook Fan Pages

So out of curiosity, how many people have Facebook Fan Pages and how many people have liked your page? Do you ever interact with your fans? What's the ratio of fans that know you personally (friends) to people you don't know or have never met? How do you engage your fans? Do you find having a Facebook Page useful? Discuss!

Michael "Cap" Caputo

I do not facebook.

Johanna Marshall

I'm on facebook , but hardly ever go there. Not my cuo of tea.............For my purposes, I think it's mainly useful for up n coming projects to publicize...that's all.............

Allison Bruning

My personal site is visited more by my fans than my fan page.

Terry Lefebvre

Hi I'm a facebook fanpage developer. A lot of interesting comments here. On the subject of likes, it is strictly a numbers game. In the majority of cases, people "like" a page without ever visiting it...

I agree with Allison, im not sure about the facebook fan page and now you only are limite to 10% of your likes seeing your posts unless you pay.........
