IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Hello Ken, Thank you for your thoughts on October FVM. Firstly, apologies for the photo I used. A whole load of mugshots were sent to me upon handover (which I presumed came from you) and I used that which I thought was clearest and with the best resolution – some of them were not up to print standa...

Hello Dave, to be clear, I am most grateful for your detailed feedback. Proper feedback is always so hard to squeeze out of people. Folks don't want to upset I suppose. What you provided was exactly what I needed. I was just being thorough in answering them all as though we were sat across a table. ...

Hi Dave, Thank you for your thorough review. I'll try to respond to those that require it: Envelope half-open at the bottom ! It seems everyone's was. It is on my ToDo list to write to Buxton Press about it. Cover striking. Not sure FVM has been serving anyone since 1932, though IAC has. TBH, in the...

Thanks Tim for your feedback. You're right about the background on the laurels article. It didn't look as good as I'd hoped. You're also right that I'm aiming at a more general demographic. It can't hurt! Watch this space...

The address to send really bad feedback is

Jacob Rees Mogg

Hi Folks,

The postal strike notwithstanding many of you should, by now, have received the latest copy of the magazine - and my first. I'm looking for feedback please.

Cheers
Martin

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement. Rest assured I will endeavour to do my very best for FVM. But, as I said, I can't write it all myself. My inbox editorFVM@arenig.co.uk is wide open.

Cheers
Martin

Oh and another. What's your experiences of working with talent websites: "Star Now" for instance. How do you find the talent for your films? If you're like me then it's just me - but more sociable filmmakers might use club members or otherwise hire them in (for peanuts) from a talent agenc...

A starter for ten. Something I'm interested in... What's everybody's experience of entering film festivals? You pays your money and never hear from them again except maybe a "not selected" on the last minute of notification date on Film Freeway. Are we wasting our money? Are some of them l...

Re: FVM magazine. I will be taking over as editor for the next but one issue – i.e the issue dated October 2022. I’m excited to do my bit for the IAC and to be the best editor I can be to take the magazine forward. I can’t do this all by myself however and will be extremely grateful if all the regul...

Martin, how can it be the "stand out film" for you if you don't understand what's going on? I can appreciate a meaningless film if it looks particularly beautiful, or it contains stimulating montages, but this had neither. Surreal yes, certainly that, but where's the point. I can agree wi...

"Face the Music": I may not have completely understood what was going on in this film but this was one of the stand-out films for me this year. I loved it's surreal edge. It put me in mind of the bizarre world created by Flann O'Brien in the Third Policeman. It made my spine tingle. Anothe...

Thanks for keeping us informed Dave. I'm with Howard on this.

Hats off to your courage for posting this Howard. And I, for one, am glad that you are not put off making your great films. And here's to the one-man-band filmmakers of the world.

On page 21 there is an article about the film "Fly by Northern Scotland" at the foot of which is the following link to view said film: http://1drv.ms/v/s!ArpK2Tc5bmLYtjqlc_rhlsF-7Sa-?e=YxSzge Now from a print magazine that's an awful lot to type in. It took me three goes before I finally c...
