Hey I have a question about getting repped that I'm hoping someone with experience with this may be able to break down. Long story short: a trusted industry friend referred me to a major agency, think CAA and the likes. We had a meeting and things went great. By great I mean a lot of the...

So I've done a lot of treatments for films and other scripted content, but very recently was asked about writing one for a TV Special eg. - The Golden Globe Awards, Fashion Rocks, MTV VMAs. And it got me curious, how does one write a treatment for that kind of tv special? Are there any...

I know this topic (casting an A list Actor for a project) has been discussed before, but I have a specific question about this process. A team I worked with assigned me to contact talent agency to book an actor for a gig and let's just say things did not work out because apparently they had...

What would be a good rate to offer an A-list Actor for a one-day cameo appearance in an indie film? I was thinking $3,000 per day. Also, once cast, would the production have to pay for the flight and hotel of both the actor and a manager or just the actor?

I'm just about ready to submit my film to a major festival. The problem is there's one scene in there that has a really tiny mistake in there. It's bearly noticable and last for a split second. The thing is, I noticed it, so I fancy a festival judge who watches and rewatches and rewatches and...

Have there been any films which were shot on the Canon t3i or t4i that screened in-competetion at any prestigious film festival? (i.e Canne, Montreal, AFI, Sundance, Tribeca etc?

For those who have down the film festival circuit (mainly the majors like Cannes, Venice, Toronto etc.) I have a few questions: Does your film being accepted into the festival allow you to walk the red carpet with the celebrities to gala event and parties? If not, how does one do so? I've...

I recently read that a few Hollywood films began casting roles for major motion pictures without them even having completed the script. How is that possible?

So I've been thinking about this for a while. I have scripts that I believe can go on to become critical and commercial successes. But every now and again I come up with other ideas (think Teen Sex Comedy) and would be like "Wow, that'd be an awesome B-Movie!" I've been told that once you make...

I recently stumbled across this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/27/nymphomaniac-shia-labeouf-jamie-bell-connie-nielsen-_n_1833244.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment In a nutshell, Labeouf hinted he'd be willing to perform real sex on camera to bring the screenplay to life, but it's...

How exactly are films distributed, say nation wide in the US. Let's say it opened at 200 theatres, does the distributor call all 200 theater operators and negotiate a deal? How much would that costs? How big are film distribution budgets?

So often for Hollywood blockbusters the media reports on the casting and shooting. But question, during that process Actors have to rehearse their lines right? When exactly is the right stage of production for this to happen and how often does it happen and how long does it lasts?

So, in preparation to make a feature film, all elements of the team must be in place. This is the proposed staff I've put in place for my first feature, Am I missing anything? Am I adding too much? Budget - $150,000 - $1,000,000 Executive Production Department Executive Producer...

When casting an actor/actress especially for an indie film, what's the general policy as it relates to having agents/assistants/escorts on set? Are you for the idea? Against the idea? How does this normally work with shoots?

Hey Forum, I'm in the process of producing a talk show and I'm wondering if anyone had any information/resources in terms of booking a celebrity to appear on a talk show. I.e - Is the show is responsible for their travels? Who exactly does one contact (I am guessing PR agents as oppose to...

Greetings Community! This is my first official Post. I've read though a lot of threads here close to my subject matter but none of which delivered the exact answer I am looking for. Essentially, I am looking for a sample film budget breakdown of $250,000 - $300,000....as I am about to serve...
