What is an online film festival, and how does it work? Will we make connections through it?

It's where audiences can see work publicly and vote across different categories. Open Film Zone works also as a networking hub where you can find different work from creators and connect with them :)

Walking Tall — A Song From My Heart

I just finished writing a song that has completely moved me, and I wanted to share a little about it with this community. It’s called “Walking Tall.”

‘A Few Good Men’ Cast Remembers Rob Reiner: Kevin Bacon Tears Up, Demi Moore Has “No Words”

This is the saddest industry news this week and I’ve just read that the Obamas were due to meet with them on the night they were killed.

The performance I remember the most in ‘A Few Good Men’ was that of Jack Nicholson in the courtroom. “You can’t handle the truth!” Was an intense moment, five simp...

Castmembers of 'A Few Good Men' - Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland and Christopher Guest, react to death of Rob Reiner.
Michael Dzurak

Rob Reiner had a unique and varied body of work. When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and A Few Good Men are so different yet great examples of their genre. Not to mention Princess Bride which is a movie I grew up with.

R.I.P. Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner.

Oracle Laura

I agree. Rob Reiner & his wife deserved a glorious ending worthy of him, not the death they got.

Michael Bay

Today, I watched AmbuLAnce on Netflix, and I must say as with many of his previous films, Michael Bay has an extraordinary, explicit attention to detail quite unsurpassed.

Maurice Vaughan

I've seen AmbuLAnce and some of Michael Bay's other movies, Abram Christian. I need to rewatch them and look for the details.

James LO

it’s not about an ambulance driver named Lance, surely?

Sydney S

I need to watch it!

James LO

oh i see. the title is just AMBULANCE, but with the letters LA in a different colour. likely to distinguish it from the Danish movie of which it is a remake, by nodding to the new location LA

I’ve been developing a dark, adult animated mythological series with live-action adaptation potential called Kyrathia.

Kyrathia is an adult animated series built around two god-level brothers whose power is rooted in emotion, imagination, and consequence.

The story begins grounded on Earth and escalates outward—moving through original mythology, Greek gods, hell, werewolves, witches, vampires, and eventually into a d...

I'm confused. I recently joined this platform but haven't figured out how to use it. I wanted to develop my talent, but I feel lost. I have a script and several new and unique ideas, but I haven't been able to present them or make use of them.

I am trying to remember another time this has happened, and so far, I cannot think of a situation like this. I am curious if any of you all have had this happen.
