The Independent Film Producer’s Survival Guide | A Business and Legal Sourcebook

Read Some Excerpts | The Roles of the Independent Producer

“Since this book is written for independent film producers, we are led to a threshold question: what is an independent film producer?

Any definition of “film producer” is inexact at best. But there is a reason for this. Film producers, like others involved in the film business, are defined by what they do. Producers, as we will see, have many functions, and their contributions are simultaneously more complex and also more ephemeral than the functions of actors or directors.”

Pengin Productions | Filmmaking Tips

“What follows is a long list of tips that are based on things I’ve learned while making movies.”

Script | DO NOT START FILMING UNTIL YOU’RE SURE THE SCRIPT IS READY. With Hearts It Is, the script was done in January 2000. But instead of filming that summer, I took the year to work on the script. It went from 80 pages to 104 pages, and had a much better ending. …read more…

Pre-Production | Do location scouting. Locations can be anywhere. A friend or family member’s house works nicely. Ask your cast and crew if they’re willing to use their house. ALWAYS check out the place before the filming day. Bring the camera and mic and make sure that there is no strange video or audio interference. …read more…

Casting | You can find potential actors in lots of places. Put an ad in the newspaper, or a local entertainment magazine if your city has one. Post flyers up around high schools, college campusues, and/or local theaters. Go to some plays and get in touch with the actors you liked. Ask other local filmmakers for recommendations. …read more…

Rehearsals | The first rehearsal should be a full cast read through. Do this in a very casual setting, like at your own place. Have some food and drinks. It’s just everyone hanging out and getting a feel for each other and the script. …read more…

Equipment | Buy the best camera you can afford to buy. Do lots of research. Find a camera you think you might buy and look for reviews of it on the web. Go to message boards like on IndieClub.com and ask about the camera. …read more…

Nothing Finer Than a Diner (reprint on Zippy the Pinhead) | by David Daley | The Hartford Courant | May 30, 2000

“Griffith drives across Westchester County parkways, through Worcester, and around Providence searching out diners to photograph. There’s a story for each one. There’s the Salvadoran diner in White Plains, NY where he accidentally ruined the Sunday lunch crowd with his camera, because patrons thought he might be an immigration agent. There are the diners that always seemed to close in early afternoon when he’d arrive, so Griffith printed up business cards claiming to be a location scout that he’d use to bluff his way inside.”

Career Profile: Location scout: Career Profile: Location scout

By Mark Bretherton | The Courier-Mail | February 18 2006

However, professional location scouts do exist and they spend many early mornings and late nights looking for interesting buildings which might make good places to shoot commercials, music videos, films or whatever happens to be in the wind.”
