Had to otherwise they wouldn't have let me graduate. That said, I did my very best to avoid as many cliche's as humanly possible to keep it from looking totally like a student film. Actually, I hate student films. Most are so horrific that when an actual gem pops up I can literally hear Handel's "Messiah" with full orchestra and angelic choir loud and clear.</p> <p>The following film "Script Cops" by Scott Rice brings to realization of the 'crackdown' on student films that's long been overdue.</p> <p>vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks</p> <p>Unfortunately, this video can't be embeded so if you want to see it, just copy the link and drop it in your browser search bar.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/donations-how-to-get-people-involved#post-37182 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:58:00 +0000 MalachiFilms 37182@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi to everyone, and thanks for taking some time out of your days to read this. My name is Caleb, I am a student/independant filmmaker. I am working on my first major project this summer. It is an artistic/poetic documentary on living on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. For more information on the film visit <a href="http://www.simplyalivefilm.blogspot.com/">http://www.simplyalivefilm.blogspot.com</a> . However the idea here isnt to promote my film, but to ask anyone's help on how to raise funds for the film. I am trying to raise funds for a new camera for my production company to take to the streets with us. We are having issues raising funds for this film. The film is a nonprofit film, which obviously means that anything we get from the film, we put towards it. The problem we are having is that noone seems to want to invest in a film that will not return money to their wallets. We have no footage now, and we are working on getting some in the next month. Does anyone have any ideas as to what we could do to raise some money and awareness for the film. I am currently out of school and doing small video shoots and acting jobs, just to make an extra buck, but we are so short of our budget and we want to film in late July. Please give me your thoughts and ideas as to what we could do! Thanks so much guys!</p> <p>Caleb<br /> Malachi Films</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/promote-your-short-films-the-romeo-theater#post-37489 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:48:27 +0000 RomeoTheater 37489@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi, I'm John Romeo, creator and host of "The Romeo Theater", an online show.
