What are you doing in LA Phil?

I'd come, but with ringing irony, I'm in Los Angeles.

doing a private screening of Essex Spacebin tomorrow night in London. 11:30pm at the Rio Dalston, E8.

Come along if u want, its free

Not sure, ideally I wanted to sell the entire package.

Here is a photo of the gear i have.

350 dollars

plus shipping on top

I am selling my Konvas motor purchased from Olex a few years ago.

See pictures. It's just missing a spacer and screw. Works a treat. Great Motor

yeah lets face it, Essex Spacebin isn't going Supernova. And EVEN if by some miracle it makes Troma Millions and we don't make a penny then Im sure we'll get a phone call to do at least something else and to be honest thats all i want, the opportunity to get paid to make another film.

so you sent that company your cover art, they sent you a big contract via email, you then stumped up 3K on a lawyer to go over the paperwork and made lots of amends and they were happy, and happy days you made your money? surely just getting it out was more important to you?

did you have one for your first horror contract then?

ok, do you know any entertainment lawyers?

I really can't afford to be paying 3K for someone to read 26 pieces of paper and tell me Im basically not getting anything out of the deal. I can see that clearly with my own eyes..

Does anyones first film make money? I don't think so, well 9 times out of ten. The point of this film was to enable us to make another. Richard did your first film net you cash? I recall it made you the square root of nothing but it got you that next chance.

If Troma are " soliciting all VOD platforms including; Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, Sony 4K and Playstation" then I could either do it my own with Distribber and pay them 3K for the privilege and not have the Brand cache of Troma and just be a random or..

You see my point. Or am i being a spanner?

Thanks for you long and highly informative responsive it's very kind of you.

I think anyone who reaches Troma is in a pretty desperate way. I'm quite sure they don't even care if I sign the contract or not which brings me to the point, if I paid for an entertainment lawyer to go over these 26 pages and put together a string of amends, what is the likelihood of them just not returning calls. It's a case of have it sit on the shelf or be seen somehow and then maybe something happens..... I don't know, do you know any entertainment lawyers? What do they charge ?

Well after mailing everyone Troma got backing say they liked it and want to distribute it. What are people's thoughts on that? I have a 26 page contract. Can Anyone read it? I assume I won't make anything but Troma is better than nothing ??

Thanks for all the responses.

I looked into the EasyDCP option within Resolve and it appears that you need to register or you get watermarks/quality degregation after 10 seconds etc.. Dcopomatic painless?

Hi All

We're booking a cinema to show our film and I'm wondering what the benefits from DCP are over exporting a master file Pro-res 444 from FCPX and playing that? Are we taking big quality differences. really don't want to pay the DCP cash. any ideas?

Phil

We both have jobs and used our spare money to finance the film. Plus I had a mate at the mill who scanned the neg for free which made it cheaper, plus I owned the camera etc. Phil is right I'm an idiot for doing it. I could of used the money on a new kitchen bathroom and all the rest. Oh well, life is short etc

It's just a teaser. I'll do a more normal one soon with lots of dialog etc. big market for demented films. students love them

Basically you tell your mate, Uncle phil has a little film he needs Shifting and your mate sends me a little email and we sell it, WW rights BOOM. done. easy deal to make. nice little Weird underground film. Bosh

 

Hi,

I think it's great that you've done this and I'd really hope some people, including me, will be able to see it. I love the part when the woman is talking, but the animations makes it almost too "un-understandable" (remember I think she makes perfect sense). I think the trailer would make more people interested if it had more of the dialog and less of the fast cuts and animation stuff. Not sure if this helps… but that's my thoughts. Would be nice to see a full scene to get a better understanding of the film.

 

I'd pay 10£ to see it online, but from what I understand many people want stuff to be free these days so maybe no use to sell stuff at all (except iPhones)?

cheers, its just a little teaser. will do a longer one shortly

Rich, can you give your mate a buzz and tell him the next level poop is here and he needs to do a deal now yeah? Don't need much dollar. yeah yeah its not some normal genre fodder etc etc, i know this. but can u sort it. cheers mate

General public i guess
