Watch We're Back. Great, fun movie. John Goodman, Rhea Perlman, Martin Short, and even Walter Cronkite?!? I watched it again recently. Such a great movie - definitely for 5 and 7-year-olds.

IndieGoGo is also a great place for independent artists/filmmakers to get funding for their projects. You put up a good proposal on the website, perhaps with some previously filmed scenes and people may fund your idea. I've actually helped fund a project once, although I'm not sure if it ever got made. This way you could post to Facebook your plan and get friends and family to help fund it.

I use Seen That to check off all the movies I've ever seen, good or bad (there's a lot of bad ones to be honest) and I also use Mubi for watch list, favorite movies and user created movie lists.

Seen That is okay. I like it because I can keep track of all the movies I've seen, but Mubi's website is better. The user created lists are cool and you can discover some new and obscure movies there.

The original for the theater. Redux is bloat, but interesting to watch once. Redux kills the tempo.

Assume theatrical is the original for theaters.

Final Cut looks like the one that should be seen and the theatrical forgotten (or watched later). Final cut is the cleaned up version of what the director wanted, but had to wait for tech to catch up, it seems.

Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser. This is an eye-opening book and should be required reading for your project.

You might also watch the movie based on the book, though I cannot recommend it over the book.

I watched The Mindscape of Alan More and it is pretty good. It's not strictly about comics, but Alan More is a very interesting guy.

Good for you. I’m glad you didn’t take my comment too poorly. Yes, hubris does have it’s place - you wouldn’t have gotten the money without it. That’s awesome and useful. And I suppose it’s good you’re freaking out a little now - it shows you’re at least a little connected to reality.

Basically you’re going to want to submit to a bunch of festivals when it’s done. Since it’s horror, genre ones are a good bet. Screamfest is a good, reputable festival that is open to new filmmakers. I know one guy who - I believe - got his feature made by showing a short there. I believe Paranormal Activity launched there too. But there are lots of them and it doesn’t mean you’re dead if you don’t get in.

I have a friend who sold a film to Dark Sky but approaching them directly. Their offer didn’t cover the budget of his film and his investors are still waiting for money, but he spent 100k, so maybe if you are able to stick to that 30k, you’ll be good.

Here’s an interesting article with some low budget distributors answering questions about what they’re looking for.

Edit: If all else fails

Spike should make a documentary about making a film (while he is actually making one). I'm sure this has been done before, but it still would be entertaining/ informative. One of Stephen King's best books is On Writing, where he breaks down his process. The idea of a film about a film has been done before but everyone has a different approach.

Hmm, auteur theory is an interesting direction to go with Kurosawa. It absolutely fits, and there's a lot to write about there, and I can definitely see how there it would help to focus on more than one of his films, to demonstrate tendencies across his filmmaking.

There's a lot of interesting things to Kurosawa's films that lend themselves to auteur discussion. There are a lot of angles to take, such as his films' relationships with nature, or his portrayals of power dynamics, or perhaps a focus on the editing -- there's a lot going on there, and him editing his own films certainly lends itself to an argument for Kurosawa as auteur.

Definitely look into the autobiography I linked above, and this collection of interviews should help as well.

My paper, as I said before, was much more about Kurosawa's legacy and reception than his directing style itself or him as auteur, so if that's the angle you're taking -- which is a fine angle, of course! -- then there's less I can offer you in terms of my personal knowledge of Kurosawa.

I'd say it's still possible to focus on one film and how it is expressive of Kurosawa as auteur if you'd like, but for that particular topic, a more comprehensive look at his extensive body of work might be a good idea as well.

Edit: I should mention that my Bachelor's is actually in Anthropology, not Film, which is (partly) why I focus so much on and know much more about the cultural and historical context of Kurosawa and his body of work than I do his style of directing and him as an auteur. The paper I wrote was for a Film class, but I personally have much more of what you might call an Anthropology background than a Film one.

Buy One of these and take a 1 second shot of it in every scene that uses different lighting (So almost everytime you change location)

Use DaVinci Resolve and take advantage of their auto calibrate color function on the clips with the color checker. Then copy and paste the color correction onto other clips. Then do some fine tuning.

There is tutorials online on how to properly do this in DaVinci

It's available from Amazon. No word about the B-R quality.

Edit: Screencaps from the 720p torrent look dark to me, and possibly not much better than the DVD
