How Not to Make a Short Film: Secrets from a Sundance Programmer

"Roberta Munroe is that rare person in the film world who can not only recognize an inspired, great film, but she can actually help you make one."
--Mark Duplass, Sundance and SXSW award-winning filmmaker.
"Roberta Munroe is brilliant. Her advice and insights on our project, The Tribe, from rough cut to completed film were instrumental and invaluable to its success. It is exciting to think that all filmmakers will have access to her incredible mind and experience through this book."
--Tiffany Shlain, award-winning filmmaker
Anyone can make a short film, right? Just grab some friends and your handheld and you can do it in a weekend or two before being accepted to a slew of film festivals, right?
Wrong.
Roberta Munroe screened short film submissions at Sundance for five years, and is an award-winning short filmmaker in her own right. So she knows a thing or two about how not to make a short film. From the first draft of your script to casting, production, editing, and distribution, this is your one-stop primer for breaking into the business. Featuring interviews with many of today's most talented writers, producers, and directors, as well as revealing stories (e.g., what to do when the skinhead crack addict next door begins screaming obscenities as soon as you call "action") from the sets of her own short films, Roberta walks you through the minefield of mistakes that an aspiring filmmaker can make--so that you don't have to make them yourself.

This is all the photo equipment that I own. I'm thinking about selling everything you see here to usedcamerabuyer.com. They are a reputable source and they quoted me $745.00 for everything you see here. Keep in mind that most of my lenses are made for a film camera. They are slow and some I can only focus manually.

The black bag contains my flash, SB-28, it's a great flash but again meant for a film camera. Whenever I use it I have to do it manually and the results are never consistent.

The point and shoot camera is the Olympus C4040 Zoom, I can't even find it for sale on ebay. When I bought it I paid 750.00! That was in 2000. I don't think it's worth anything.

The thing that's worth the most is my Nikon D100 Body and the extra battery pack. I'd just as soon get something newer and with less bugs.

My only dilemma is if/when I get rid of all of this and I buy new I have a choice...Do I go with Nikon again? Or do I switch to Canon? I'm leaning a little toward Canon. I absolutely LOVE my tiny point and shot so I can only imagine how a DSLR would preform. Plus the price difference is pretty hefty.

Feel free to tell me what you use and if you like or dislike it or if you had it to do again what you would buy. I haven't made my mind up 100% yet on selling it, but I can tell you this, it's not getting more valuable over time.

This must be the favourite position of 21st-century tourists. When we travel, we photograph or video with abandon - everything and anything. On package tours, it's usually the guide who tells the group to get off the coach, and in a few allocated minutes get a picture of a famous landmark or building. And like trained pets, all the tourists flock out to click away. If I can help it, I avoid package tours like the plague...

Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to collect all the pictures of one popular spot, taken in the course of one day? Millions of travellers posing at slightly different positions and angles. Maybe somebody has already compiled a project that like. How many of us ever look at our accumulated digital travel pictures more than once - possibly a few times, to show (and bore to death!) family and friends on return? And yet, it's so easy, and practically free - why wouldn't we do it? It's quite a job to ruthlessly discard and edit your pictures, and keep your files organized. For me, net publishing helps tremendously to declutter my digital photos. It would also be interesting to see how long digital photos can be preserved. I have already read speculations that, where old prints fade and discolour, digital photos are likely to just unpixelate at some point.
