Hello, Hello, I know of a few of the main film festivals in Texas (DIFF, LSF, Dallas VideoFest, Austin Film & SXSW), but I wanted to know if anyone from Texas (or not) of film festivals going on this year. I just started a film blog (FIlmpster) and would love to cover some film festivals.
If you go to HCFF, be sure to hit the opening night party at the Auslander Biergarten...but don't mention my name. Just kidding, sort of.
I think I'll go to the HCFF this year. I have two script entries there and at Austin FF. I went to Fredericksburg last week and hit the wineries. What a great little town.

I've uploaded some of my work to my reel section on my profile, including my music soundcloud and a recent interactive film project called Transference that I wrote and directed in a week (the time constraint was part of the experiment). It's shot entirely POV, and attempts to pay tribute to shows like Peep Show. I enjoyed your reel! Congrats on the commercial work. Were the last bits from a short you shot? Looked interesting!
Well I'm moving out to LA for a specialty program in screenwriting through my school. That'll be my last semester, and then my plan is to kind of feel out the job market in LA, and try to shop around my scripts ! How about you?
Well, I find out soon if I'll be either going to Northwestern or Boston University. I hope either/or, both and not NEITHER because that would suck..a lot. Which would mean I'd have to put in place pla...
Expand commentWell, I find out soon if I'll be either going to Northwestern or Boston University. I hope either/or, both and not NEITHER because that would suck..a lot. Which would mean I'd have to put in place plan B. Right now, I do a lot of freelancing writing/directing/editing and of course working on packets I should've completed months ago. Bleh.
I haven't heard much of Boston, but I've had a few friends go to Northwestern and they liked it there very much! I hope you get the good news soon! :)
Thanks for the request Phil! I hope you have a great New Years
I tend to get really, really long winded writing and place myself in this awkward revising position for scripts. Wanted to know some thoughts on maybe how to curb this besides "just write it all and play God later."
Try real hard to keep it at or under 5 pages. To me that's the perfect length for a short.
Joe and Bill pretty well covered it. There's no point in writing more than you're going to shoot and no point shooting more than you need to tell your story. Find the arc - to decide where and when yo...
Expand commentJoe and Bill pretty well covered it. There's no point in writing more than you're going to shoot and no point shooting more than you need to tell your story. Find the arc - to decide where and when your story actually begins and ends and what you really intend to say... then stop. It's like telling a joke - once you get to the punchline, you're done. Nobody cares what you say after that. A famous author made a fortune on film adaptations of his novels, but his books had an annoying tendency to drag on for two or three more chapters after the story was over. He got away with it in print, but when the adaptations were filmed the movie ended when the story ended. Period.
Just make it short and sweet!
Thanks for the request Ethan. Where can I check out some of your films? And powerful cowlicks are the most underrated superpower possibly ever.

Happy Holidays to everyone, and best of luck to all of you.
I was so going to apply to Columbia College for my graduate degree! They're still trying to get me to come to the dark side still. Good luck dude!
Thanks for posting, Ethan. Best of luck to you, brother.
Thanks, guys ! :)

I'm based in the DFW area and always looking for creative individuals and really a chance to learn and grow in all aspects of the film industry. Here's my reel of work I've done thus far. I have a lot of video production/social media video production: https://vimeo.com/81253081 If you're in the DFW area, add me and even if you aren't, I always love meeting up for coffee, chatting and really getting a better understanding of an industry I adore.
Thanks for the request Allan. If you're ever in the DFW area we should link.
You're most welcome, Ja. And, thank you for the offer, I'll keep it in mind. :)
By the way, have you watched my video?
I have not! Send it to me again please.

Thanks for the add Nicholas! It's always great to have people in the area. Hope you're staying warm, with electricity and OFF the roads! Cabin fever has totally set in for Icemageddon 2013. Stay sane :)

The Sergeant commercials were written, directed and produced by me. From the auto to the watches, I produced and wrote/produce stop motion and did art direction for the film.
FINALLY someone from the DFW!! Thanks for the add James :)
It is I, your Humble King and Lord of the Universe! ;-)
I giggled and snorted. Well played!
You do know that DFW is the center of the (known) universe and gateway to everything: "All roads lead to DFW, including Interstate 35E, I-30, and highways 67 and 80."

Expand postI'm a 77 yr old first time filmmaker living in the Bay Area. I'm producing a documentary using filmed interviews with those of us who were kids during WWII. We are the children of the greatest generation. I will have a rough cut after Christmas, a finished 43 minute TV quality film in summer of 2014. The film is titled Greatest Children. I was a 5 yr old tap dancer in Hollywood with a big band, Kay Kyser, entertaining at the VA hospitals so I saw what happened to the men who were wounded in the war. So I have a real early history of WWII. We have an original score titled The Greatest Children theme. My purpose and passion at 77 is this. After film is finished to hit the road, form a national alliance with some veterans organizations, and launch a tour of special events with my presentation of my life in WWII, show the film, and have Veterans organizations share what their needs are so that many more people can get involved. I need a partner - the film is financed, and I have applied to the IRS for non-profit status. I just plain old need help. Museums, senior centers, Chamber of Commerce organizations could put together a great fund-raiser for veterans around my film. I'm Patricia Weaver ! www.patriciaweaver.net Thank you so much!
Wow Pat that is fantastic! You go girl!!!
That's awesome! Go get em'

Expand commentFrankly, I'm totally out of my zone from here on in. Need just about everything. Creative ad campaign, creative people to put together some sort of unusual special event for my film, my talk, and form an alliance with vet groups. Just got the paperwork ready for iIRS for the non-profit stuff, which was a bitch to get together. So need all kinds of help. Knowing how the universe works, help is probably on the way. Thanks for inquiring, my contact level is not what it use to be either. Have a great thanksgiving - Patricia
