Adrian Pedrin V.: Director and director of photography in San Diego, California.

How many of you guys and gals are willing to cross the border and film in Mexico? I get amazing shooting locations and free catering here, the amount of money i save is ridiculous. Im an american citizen and I'm white and tall, why do i say this? Because its been an excuse for some actors to not want to shoot in Mexico, because they stand out because they are white. If anyone is interested in seeing what i was able to do with 500 dollar budget in Mexico(feature wise) let me know and ill send a screener.

So here is the thing, i get free catering and almost every location i want to shoot for free in Mexico, specifically Tijuana which is just crossing the border from San Diego. Question is: How many of you guys are willing to shoot in Tijuana? Im an american citizen living in Mexico, im white and im tall

So I just finished my first feature, I should not mention this but I'll do it anyway, I did a feature in Mexico for 6000 pesos which is (was at the time of filming) 500 dollars, the beauty of it is that id does not suck or look like a 500 dollar film so i want a distribution deal to get it off my hands make back the money i spent and start filming another one. I have heard that pretty much any film can be sold, the real question is how much would i get for it, is this something a distributor would be interested in? or should i just sell it myself since all i have to make back is 500 dollars and anything else is just profit?

I have 0 qualifications with editing but I really want to get into the business. I am currently looking into Postgrad courses but I would like to know if any of you guys actually needed a degree to pursue a job in editing? I am an amateur, I make them from a crappy laptop that crashes every 10 minutes, but I am saving for a computer right now to raise the quality of my videos. I have only had the chance to make fanvideos, one of them was actually played on Entertainment Tonight WORLD WIDE. But that does not mean I am good enough for a job prospect which is why I am asking for your advice :) Here is a recent one I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_yvvpfo5nk

I invite my fellow filmmakers to help me fund my first feature film!!! you can fund from 1 dollar and up and you still get the movie as a digital download! win win for everyone! Check out the link if you want to see a trailer and a vignette or find out more about the film, but if you are like me, you are sold with the Zombies, Aliens and Demons bit, add a little bit of Mexican scenery a few geeks and not your typical Mexican drug dealers and you have an amazingly fun science fiction movie. http://igg.me/at/TGK/x/5271699 It's still a big help if you just share the link!!

I've recently received my story notes back for my script. It's a long story, so I'll get to the point. One of the points made in the notes went like this: "The ending is ineffective. It doesn't feel right to have the child die and then cobble together some sort of delayed redemption. It just doesn't fit the story at all and is very unsatifying." Okay so in the script the main character (Raven) she's a criminal trying to break her and her daughter out of that dangerous life. Because of her refusal to listen to good advice to get out of that life before something happened to her or her daughter, her daughter ends up getting killed anyway. Later she has another child. I wanted my main character to receive the consequence for her actions but I also wanted her to learn her lesson and end up with a second chance because everyone deserves a chance to get it right. My question is, was the child's death too much of a consequence for audiences even though there is a happy ending?

So normally i have a basic outline and idea of a story, i want to start writing it, but i always get stuck when i need to develop everything, i mean how can you get the movie going along without writing scenes that feel like they are there to fill time? or whats happening to me right now, i have something written which i love but I'm having a hard time getting it from where i am to where i want to eventually end up. Or any writing tips in particular to help me see this from a different view.

So i have a question for anyone who wants to answer it, i have been in a few commercial shoots, i have directed some commercial shoots and music videos, but i have never directed a feature film, the question is, how many people are willing to work with someone like me, my IMDB only has my editing credits. do you guys/gals take the chance or are you better of working with people who have more experience? or it doesn't matter as long as you get paid?

Adrian, sounds interesting...my info below if you can use me...anything other than the norm is what Hollywood needs more of. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5015401/
