I’m writing a short film about school shootings and I would really appreciate some advice from people who have been in a school shooting. What was the reaction? Did everyone follow the drill? Did people panic? Did anyone try to run home or to get help? Were the teachers helpful? Etc. I understand that it’s a traumatic experience and I want to raise awareness to gun violence which is the purpose of the film. Please respond if you or anyone you know has any informative stories to tell.

Hey Filmmakers. My company Storiara is looking to hold a 48-hour short film competition sometime in the near future.

Since Storiara is a pre-production platform that turns scripts into complete shoot plans (schedules, call sheets, breakdowns, etc), we want to see filmmakers benefiting from it in a massive time crunch.

The prize for the best film would be $500, and you'd be required to use a mystery prop, line, etc. in a 3-6 minute short with a genre of your choice.

We haven't finalized the rules, but we wanted to gauge interest from filmmakers like you all.

Let us know!

A man wakes up, lost. Where he is and what he sees challenges him to confront himself and his feelings about himself.

Im planning on entering investing in a camera (Nikon ZR), but Im not sure what lens to start with. How do u figure it out, and find the look u like, without buying a ton of lenses?

I've worked on a few indie projects as a writer, most never saw the light of day due to issues with the director or producer losing interest.

Plus I've read and heard about mainstream writers struggling to find solid work even after they striked not that long ago. I wanna hear what your guys experience has been as a writer? Would love to hear from your guys experiences.

I understand that no AI can match the level of directors but if I can get inputs from directors, I can fine tune AI which I strongly believe.

No disrespect to original Creators but I believe AI can help make a video script or make an entire video but only if it was operated by Directors.

If we try this together, the probability of us succeeding is higher.

I want directors/Cinematographer to oversee my voice over script and AI pipeline which includes script analysis, scene breakdown, production designing, shot list. (as of now, I want directors/cinematographers to analyse the VO script and scene breakdown), what could have done it better? What is better? and all of the analysis.

Please don't call this idea lame or Ai can only make slop, if you're not interested, I'm not bothering you. Only interested people comment or send me a dm.
