ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Hollywood: Home of the true 1%. Behind this gated community are the kidney-shaped pools and impeccable hedge rows, million-dollar mansions and Lamborghini excess. This is the Country Club of which you are most definitely not a member. You cannot apply to this club. The gatekeepers know you are not of their cloth. They can smell you. You are the Unwashed. They can smell your wanting, your desperation to join them on the inside. They have set up impenetrable motes and ramparts to stop you. How will you scale these walls?

Ask yourself: Do I need to be in Los Angeles to consider yourself a screenwriter? Do I need to be in Los Angeles to write a movie that launches your career? Do I need to have an agent or manager to place well in screenwriting contests? The answer is -- NO! Back before the digital age John Cassavetes made films for low money. So did Orson Wells, who made bad wine commercials to finance his low-budget Shakespeare adaptations. Robert Rodriguez literally wrote the book, and major directors like Spike Lee and Aronofsky got their starts on the cheap. Credit-card filmmaking has been around forever, the watchword being film making. These early low-budget efforts were all shot on film-- which then brings us to what is new in the equation: Technology. There has never been a better time to break into the business. Now all you need is a script that can be shot for a micro-budget price and a producer with full knowledge of fund-raising, budgeting, and scheduling. It might seem like it, but this is not Everest you're scaling. This can be done!

Paul Peditto and Boris Wexler, two long-time micro-budget filmmakers, have put together a webinar that takes you through the full process of making your film happen. This will be instruction for the full range of writers, producers, and directors--from someone writing/directing their first movie, to more advanced filmmakers who have been through the process but are looking for tips to wring value out of every last dollar. Of particular interest will be the case study of Chat, a movie Paul and Boris just wrapped, which has been picked up for North American distribution by Gravitas Ventures for Christmas, 2015.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Discover brainstorming techniques for stories that can be shot for a micro-budget
  • Review the Top 10 rules for writing a micro-budget screenplay
  • Gain insight on the pre-production process, from location scouting to casting to crewing up
  • Follow the journey of Chat, a $44,000 micro-budget film, from idea to North American distribution
  • Compare and contrast different budgets. Find the one that fits your movie
  • Prioritize what you absolutely have to pay for, and what you should NOT pay for
  • Learn about the current distribution landscape--do you need a name actor?
  • Clarify the process of working with actors, and if you need SAG actors in your movie
  • Define tips to help you "make your day", even if you're a first time director.
  • Learn how to maximize director collaboration with the writer, the composer, the editor
  • Review the scoring of the film, sound design on the cheap, how to work with your composer, and how much you really need to pay for scoring and sound design
  • Gain insight on what actually happens in a Post House
  • Discuss successful (and not successful!) strategies for marketing your film in the current marketplace glutted by product
  • Clarify your film festival strategy. How much money will you need for submissions, how much should you spend?

WHO SHOULD LISTEN?

  • First time writers, directors and producers trying to maximize every dollar they spend
  • Writers looking for tips to save money at script level, before the movie is even shot
  • Writers tired of the L.A. grind, looking for self-produced alternatives
  • Writers living outside of L.A., looking to break into Hollywood by making a cheap film as their first film
  • Film school students gearing up for their first feature-length movie
  • Producers looking for creative ways to fund their projects
  • Producers looking for ways to budget and schedule for maximum dollar impact
  • First time directors seeking advice on casting, location scouting, and crewing up
  • Directors seeking way to squeeze that last dollar into the production

Love this set!!!
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
I was trying to figure out which of the many different balls this company offers, and I was getting frustrated but then i was SOOOO happy to see they had multiple sets that had multiple of the different balls they offer!! I bought this set and the other set they offer, but this one was my favorite and I think my dogs too! The orange ball works great and bounces just high enough that it doesn’t clear our patio wall, but enough for him to go and jump up to retrieve. But the glow in the dark ball is his favorite! Both me and my pomsky were blown away how we brought the glow in the dark ball outside just as the sun was going down, and when we brought it back inside it was BRIGHT AND GLOWY!!! Even with the sun going down and not much light left!! He loves to play with it in the house after it’s all glowy from the sun. Sometimes we even glow it up under a light inside the house if it’s dark outside, and he will play with it outside in the dark haha he loves it!!! And I think it’s pretty cool too!! All of the balls this company overs are VERY durable! We realized early on that we cannot give our dog regular tennis balls cuz his favorite thing to do is tear the outside fabric off!! So we were trying to figure out what company has the best balls for dogs so they can’t sit there and try to pry them apart, and we found this company!! We have already bought from them about 3 times and all of their balls are durable and bounce how they say they will bounce!! They have the super bouncers and the glow in the dark one and the one with angles that will bounce in different directions and the ones you can throw REALLYY far! Overall, all the balls from this company are very durable, bounce really good, and keep my dog occupied without allowing him to sit there and tear it apart!!! Which i love cuz I do not like when he stops playing with us to sit there and try to take off the fabric, cuz then he could swallow it! So always buy the balls from this company!!! They are the best and most durable!!!! Also plenty soft for your dogs mouth so they can chew on it a bit and it won’t hurt their teeth/gums!

Good sturdy balls
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
My dogs love balls! Unfortunately, they tend to chew them up very quickly. My Belgium Malinois chews on this all the time, and it has held up pretty well. Good option for chewers
