IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Imagine a world where no-one used pre-recorded music for their films and had to generate it themselves or invite friends to make music for them without a fee. Would it actually mean better films? Dave Own music I am very lucky. One of the members of my club composed music for my films "Breendo...

I know how sad you feel Willy as my own club had to fold this year but that was because we didn't have enough people to keep it going. Casablanca is Moroccon town Billy Boy ! You're joking !

This is quite an interesting question Dave. Bob and G For the "Guernsey, I Love You !" film Mary and Peter Rouillard found three girls. We needed two. We had a meeting in the bar of a restaurant and had a chat with them. Immediately you could see that one of them - the prettiest - was ver...

I explain that if you as an individual are having a good time it will show in your character and your performance will be all the more better. The camera will capture the energy you bring on set.
