Cool. Best of luck. My step brother is a young scriptwriter so i know al about hard how it is to break the industry and making a low budget film that gets noticed seems to be the way forward fro what he tells me.

Best of british luck with it all, sounds fab, and as a bit of a horror buff I await the results with some excitement!!


I could probably do thinly moustachioed swarthy villain, but not sure how many railroads need ruthlessly building in the Forest Hill area.

PM sent, and I have also forwarded the link to my very talented sound recordist and editor friend!

Though I suspect they won't be needed for a while, till a script has been developed.

I DO hope you will spend time developing the script. It is mighty important. Too many films are made in this country with under-developed scripts, and this makes all the difference.

I wish you well!

Hi again,


Thanks for the replies.


The comments about the script are spot on, we will be developing the script up to time we shoot.

You need to have the final draft done BEFORE you go into pre-production let alone shoot. Otherwise you are wasting not only yours but everyone else's time.

Easyrider is the only kind of movie that can be done on the hoof but contrary to myth it did have skeleton script and a budget.


The thing that blows me away about Easy Rider though is that it was made the same year as The Sound of Music. Now that's what I call revolution!

Hi,


The script, as mentioned, is there but still in devlopment, however, any who might consider this as something they want to get involved in would be sent the script as it stands before deciding if it's for them. Any comments on the script will be taken seriously and examined, though I also believe that this could potentially be a truly fab film.

I am getting lots of feedback and help on the script. It will be AWESOME (eventually:P).


It is true that the script would normally be at least 10th draft, watertight etc, before production, but some rewriting goes on in most productions up to and during shooting, I'm sure. This also gives an oportunity to fine tune, adapt with further input of the core crew and local experienced scriptwriters. This is a team made film.


As for being serious, I assure you that I am, but I have no wish at the moment to look through shooting people. There are plenty of places that are free. This is very much open to people, like myself, who are not professional filmmakers, without much experience but would love to have a go, as well as seasoned filmmakers.


This is not a joke, it's not a whim, it's not a con. Any considered errors are but mistakes through lack of experience. All I know is that we are passionate, detemined and that we are going to make a film. And that if you can see fault with it, then hey, get on board and help us make it better.



Regards,

FHF

    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.    
    • Ah the oldest cliche in the book   ”I would leave if…”   but you wouldn’t leave if farage was prime minister ?
    • It seems we have to accept a certain level of crime as normal now… phone thefts, car thefts, parcels stolen from doorsteps…. they are just recorded as statistics.  When it’s invasive ( numerous home invasions in my street recently), one reported on the forum recently, Evri delivery had his car stolen, the man attacked in PRP a couple of weeks ago, reports of violent and threatening youths also in PRP… it goes on and on.  And now this poor woman brutally assaulted in daylight on a busy street. NONE of this is acceptable. There should be ZERO tolerance for such criminal acts. There is no denying the police have too much to deal with and not enough resources. It’s disgusting. It’s a misappropriation of public funds. More should be invested on our police force.
