In order to clarify some common terms and principles allow me to take a few minutes of your time to define some areas where there could otherwise be confusion. If you are new to screenwriting, this will be interesting because of the film industry information. If you are a seasoned film industry insider, I hope […]
Making films has so far been a team game. A film director being the author of the work was a lovely critical theory but not real. Bergman had Sven Nykvist to do the filming, Bresson had Ghislain Cloquet and Hitchcock had his favourite camera trickster Robert Burks. Every director had a crew. Huge respect if […]
You love movies, right? And you have been isolated in your tower of creativity tapping away until you hear the two most dreaded words a wannabe screenwriter ever hears: “Honey! Dinner”. And you have to take the painful walk down the spiral staircase and join the rest of the human race. And worry about selling […]
What are you waiting for? As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. No, wait, a filmmaker. I always get that wrong. As a kid my best mate had a VHS player and we’d watch everything from Stanley Kubrick to Sam Raimi (‘The Evil Dead’ and ‘The Shining’ having […]
Candice is a newly released short film, written by short filmmaker Alexei Slater, directed by George Watson and produced by Dom Riley. After a run at festivals, the short is seeing wider internet distribution through the YouTube platform Million Youth Media. I caught up with Alexei to talk about the film, his varied career and […]
A few years ago, after directing a few short films and music videos, I had this crazy idea to write, direct, produce and act in my first feature film. And believe me it was a crazy idea. DEVILS IN DISGUISE was shot in Los Angeles in 11 days with a crew of 3 (including myself) […]
The short film is an art form in its own right. Many of its storytelling properties differ from those of the feature film. It is typically under 10 min. long. The shorter the better. It should not be confused with the 25-40 min. graduation films made at film schools and which are really miniature feature […]
So Christmas is drawing near…what’s the strangest festive movie filled with fright you could watch this year with kids? Putting aside the traditional argument over whether or not Die Hard is an Christmas movie or even The Thing, starring Kurt Russell surrounded by a lot of snow, you could look at presumably a lot of […]
The film industry is often at the forefront of technological advancements which inspire the filmmaking revolution. The impact of technology is visible almost in all segments of film-making and production – narrative techniques, equipment, graphics, sound effects, and more. The history of film is filled with advances that have changed the way of how a […]
When the coronavirus first took the world by storm, many businesses large and small took a hit, with the small ones being in the majority.
