Writing The Low Budget Horror Feature - Ondemand Edition |
"ABOUT THE WEBINAR There are good reasons why many famous filmmakers such as Sam Raimi, Tobe Hooper, Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino credit me with inspiring them or helping to launch their careers. When I met Quentin Tarantino at the LAND OF THE DEAD premier, he said, I made a movie I didn't finish, then I read your books, took notes and made charts, and that's what guided me toward my first finished movie. My own career as a feature filmmaker and writer started with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, and after that I wrote more than a dozen low-budget horror films that have been sold worldwide and are still selling. My movie MIDNIGHT, shot in 35mm for only $70,000, has been in constant distribution for three decades, and is considered a cult classic. I've written 22 novels and made 20 feature movies, most of them based on my own screenplays. My books on writing and movie making are known as Bibles of Independent Filmmaking, and are used as textbooks in my seminars and works"

"Filmmakers often suffer from cinematic immunity - the false perception of immunity from injury in the controlled environment of the movie set. In reality, movie sets are incredibly dangerous.

People are constantly talking on and typing into their smart phones. Phones are simply a fact of life.

Real life is not drama, and we screenwriters need to make the most dramatic choices for our characters possible.
