IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

I wasn't looking for praise Tim.... But I'll take it anyway.

I liked your article, and don't see what people would be offended by. Getting on to the young audience debate, this is something i've tried to do for a very long time! I'm sure if you browse these forums you'll see comments of mine championing the need for newer blood, and newer directions. I've bee...

Well... i've done it. 'Selfie' is now online via a Pay Per View site. Will see how it goes and update this forum after a month or so. Since i posted it, i had 2 rentals pretty much straight away, but i did shout about it all over Facebook and Twitter! Time will tell if it's something worth doing or ...

I wish you could "thumbs up" comments... i would certainly have hit 'Like' for that break down John.

It was the father's call that really hit the message home for me, it was at that point that i could feel the lump in my throat growing. Not many films hit me emotionally, but that one knocked me for six.

But you are right Tim in that films affect people in many different ways.

Thanks for the comments on 'Selfie' all. Really pleased it went down so well. I almost didn't enter it to be honest, being a horror i thought it wouldn't be well received at this festival... how wrong was I!? I only came for the Sunday, and my favourite films were 'Arefi Der Hirte' and 'Fall'. I tho...

Early night for me... got a long drive and early start tomorrow! Why oh why is my film in the first session!? LOL.

See most of you tomorrow...

Sorry to not be catching up tomorrow Dave, i hope you are on the mend. Look forward to catching up somewhere else.

No problem Willy. :) I've remembered the film that first brought this question up. It was a Diamond winning film called 'Rex', the makers were selling copies online to try and recoup some of their costs. It was discussed somewhere in these forums. I don't remember the outcome, but i do remember that...

It would be interesting to know how many of the films entered into BIAFF were completely self-funded, or had monies coming in from grants/sponsorships/crowd-funding campaigns etc? How many would not be eligible for entry if that clause applied?

Cheers Ned. I use a site called IndieReign.com. You basically upload your film, create a page, put it live then advertise it in anyway you can. I want to wait until 'Selfie' has done a few film festivals before putting it online, i have 3 screenings this month, so maybe early May would be a good sta...

The reason i posted the question is that i put 'Addict' on a Pay Per View site late last year... only ever had 2 rentals mind. I also put 'Karen's Room' up there. I haven't removed KR from Vimeo or YouTube where you can watch it completely free, but i did put it on the PPV site to see if anyone woul...

John Roberts says Maybe some kind of 'check list' where judges indicate the number of films produced in various genres in the last 5 years might be useful? That might go some way to ensure any one judging panel doesn't end up with three judges whose combined output only covers one genre. Just a tho...

I know this discussion has come up before, but wanted to raise it again. What are your views on using Pay Per View sites with your films? Making movies is a costly business, and for those that self finace the films like myself, often run out of cash! Using Crowd Funding sites seems to be the current...

I got my results on Monday evening via email... i've tried to restrain myself from telling everyone (out of respect for those that haven't received their results yet), but had to shout about it this morning. My short film 'Selfie' has won a Diamond Award, which i am VERY proud of. I was quietly conf...

I think Howard-Smith's assessment of the Judging weekend is spot on. :) This was my second year at judging, and i thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. I saw a huge number of films that littered the entire spectrum of ratings from 1 to 5. I agree with what you are saying Tim regarding the point of v...
