DSLR Feature Film List

Hi, Sorry noob on posting films. I have been writing and prepping a feature since Feb. 2008, have shot some scenes, still going strong, it's called 'Year of the Boomerang' for now, which is the name I've been using this year. I realize I may not be able to use this name as it's a Rage against the machine song, but hey, for this year, it's catching with my guys, plus I have the name of the film in head for now.

The questions I have are,

I finished the film, I cut a trailer. I put the trailer online. Where online can I put a trailer that is not compromising rights, I read a thread last year that said if u post to vimeo/youtube the rights go to them or something? The question is worded very badly as i really have no clue.

My plans for this film are shoot it, light it well and act it well, and watch it. For now. I have no festival plans or distribution plans. Distributions plans are not realistic for me, this is my first. Festivals are very realistic, because of previous work I've submitted. This is why I'm worried about posting the trailer. Does a trailer matter even? is it part of the movie? The reason I don't care about festivals now is cause it's got to us before I don't want it to again. It's the same crew, we're on the same page on this, but as soon as we're done, we can reward ourselves with considering the publicity. We just wanna make it well, first.

My dilemma is this. If it turns out decent, I do wanna shop it around, but I would love for people to watch it. Here, this is easy. The forty ppl I know and want to see this are invited over for drinks in front of a screen.

But I really really want to show it on dvx. Is there anywhere one can post a movie?

I feel really naive asking that above I can feel that the answer's gonna be, you either burn it or you don't.

As for this thread, I don't have an official website for the film, we're just putting up our website. I'm afraid here it's just a title, a blog, and out site, is that enough to count? We're not in the US, we're in lebanon, I'm still figuring out how to play into the movie scene.

I hope this isn't too silly a question. Self conscious today.

I think you'll get more and better answers to questions like this if you just start a separate thread for your film.
 
Jawa, the links for holodad and desperata are incorrect (currently referring to some place on dvxuser.com).

Thanks.

Yeah there's something with the coding on the forum that does that sometimes.

Added BETWEEN FLOORS and OPEN WHEN JOHNNY CAN READ.
THE CTHULU KEY seems to be a short film, so I'm keeping it off the list.
 
I didn't see Monty Hellman's "Road to Nowhere" which was shot with 5dmk2's. He has a long and illustrious directing career which includes one of my favorite films "Two Lane Blacktop".
