Ok, so I am working on a short film, based on an MOL thread. Any one have any ideas how to fund it? Should I put up a link to PayPal here? Dave? Is that kosher? | ||

Go for it. Then let's workshop the script right here and talk about casting. | ||

Sounds cool Duncan. When can we expect a plot line leak here on MOL? | ||

What about a F2F with some fundrasing activities? 50/50, etc.? | ||

the script is almost done actually Dave. I just have to polish it up a bit. It is a very short short. And actually, Greentree, one of your posts is the punch line.  | ||

 Or are you just saying that to get money out of me.....  | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6575 Registered: 12-2001 |
No, I am dead serious. | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6576 Registered: 12-2001 |
And I would love to cast it from MOL'ers. SAG or not. | ||
| buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 5085 Registered: 5-2001 |
I'm here if you need me........................... not SAG but free | ||

Count me in! I'd love to do it, plus I have a lot of free time. | ||

Me too! Not SAG, but free | ||

oh maybe you won't have a need for a pregnant lady. I keep forgetting I am pregnant  | ||

I'll be an extra. Maybe standing at the water cooler in the distance. | ||
| buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 5087 Registered: 5-2001 |
Just like Gerald Ford ^ | ||

I'm in! | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 644 Registered: 5-2001  |
I'm in too, Duncan!! Lol I just realized I never sent you my headshot - want one? | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6577 Registered: 12-2001 |
Just finished the first draft. Sent it off for approval to the person who gave me the idea. I will report back. If you are serious about helping go to my little web site and on the front page is a paypal link. I have some money I can throw at this, but most of what I have I need to save for the feature I am working towards. So some help directed toward this project would be greatly appreciated. | ||

Come on folks step right up and help make the MOL inspired film called I've Lost My Marbles | ||

Do you ever offer internships? I would PAY to have my kid apprenticed in, or simply introduced to, the fine art of film making! You could rake in a bundle doing a weekend seminar for a dozen kids. She is still pretty young but it is what she wants to become and she has a passion for it already. You must see her most recent version of Beowulf using partially mutilated Barbie dolls or her other short film simply called the "Dum Dum Monks" because the monks (her little sisters) drone "dum, dum, dum" before they worship the sacred crystal doorknob. | ||
| kmk Supporter Username: Kmk Post Number: 1292 Registered: 5-2001 |
BTW : That Paypal link is the bomb! | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6582 Registered: 12-2001 |
KMK...I got that and thank you so much for the donation. PL me about your daughter and we can talk about that. And all you others I will probably need plenty of extras for at least one or two shots so don't think I won't be calling on you. Just better be good to your word Fluger--Go ahead and send it to me. Either email it or snail mail to Freshwater Films, LLC PO Box 68 Maplewood, NJ 07040 Thanks all! | ||

My daughter is convinced she is the next Brittny Spears/Jessica Simpson, or whatever else appeals to the 8 year old imagination. She would love to be part of some sort of crowd scene. I would promise to restrain her from actually singing and/or dancing, which would most likely be detrimental to the artistic value of your film  | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6587 Registered: 12-2001 |
Thanks Campbell for the offer, but the film is set in a cube farm at a large company so it would be hard to sneak an 8 year old into it. I am trying to figure out how to get my own son (or his image) into it. Since he was born, his name or a picture of him has been on every set of every play I have been in and every film I have directed or been in. | ||
| kmk Supporter Username: Kmk Post Number: 1293 Registered: 5-2001 |
Have his face as a screen-saver on some character's desktop computer screen. | ||
| kevin Supporter Username: Kevin Post Number: 749 Registered: 2-2002 |
or a photo on the wall of someone's cube... | ||
| Pippi Supporter Username: Pippi Post Number: 2459 Registered: 8-2003 |
a picture on a desk would be appropriate | ||

Duncan - Do you want to use my office? | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6604 Registered: 12-2001 |
Mem...check your email. Sorry so much has been happening so fast I have many MANY balls in the air. | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6605 Registered: 12-2001 |
Greentree..if you are reading this, I would love to have a F2F fundraiser and would love for someone else to organize it.  Trying to suddenly produce a movie is gobbling up most of my time, that and keeping up with the other two films that are out "on the circuit". So if you want to help out the film that way, I accept. back to trying to con some money out of Scott Adams... | ||
| Boozehound Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 6390 Registered: 5-2001 |
Duncan - Check with justmelaura - we had a conversation last night about doing fundraisers. She's excellent at it. We're having one at my house in July - stay tuned. | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6606 Registered: 12-2001 |
Thanks for the tip mem. All I need to do now is commit to a date and "hire" a crew. With my usual DP moving to LA at the end of the summer, so much for the free lighting package. Rentals are a harsh reality. But I want this film to be festival worthy. So many people can and will identify with it. | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6607 Registered: 12-2001 |
Oh And also it has come to my attention that some folks are not keen on PayPal. Thats cool. If you are still interested in helping out the film financially please feel free to send donations to Duncan M. Rogers Freshwater Films, LLC PO Box 68 Maplewood, NJ 07040 make out checks to me, not the company since when we started the company we didn't set up a "business" acct. cause we knew we would lose money for the first few years. And tell your friends that this nut you know on some message board is making a movie based on the board and give em the details. | ||

Need any skateboarders? I have a whole crew of guys who would LOVE to work for a few munchkins and some cold gatorade... | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6611 Registered: 12-2001 |
Thanks Marie, but the film is set in an office so there are no boarders needed. People in suits or business casual, sure. | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6615 Registered: 12-2001 |
Thanks to everyone who has PayPal'd me through my website. It really is great that everyone is so kindly getting behind this project. Now, assemble a crew, cast it, and pick a date to shoot. (Oh and hope my tax refund comes soon) | ||
| justmelaura Citizen Username: Justmelaura Post Number: 717 Registered: 5-2001 |
Hey Duncan I can do a fundraiser for you. Email me @ JustMeLaura@aol.com and we can set up a time to discuss details. I'll do all the work, you just need to supply a place and guest list. | ||
| Bajou Citizen Username: Bajou Post Number: 763 Registered: 2-2006  |
Hey Duncan if you need a bunch of hung over professionals I can supply you with a list of names. LOL If you need me for any work to be done I am game. Will send you a donation after payday. Bajou | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 654 Registered: 5-2001 |
Duncan, I can check with my school about renting lights from their film program - if you'd like... Also, I PLed you, did you get it? | ||
| Duncan Supporter Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 6617 Registered: 12-2001 |
Wow, thanks all! JustmeLaura...I will email you tomorrow, ok? Bajou that is a really kind offer but only if you can afford it. Fluger..I didn't get your PL. I don't think. I have gotten dozens in the last few days. I will double check, but feel free to email me at duncan@freshwater-films.com Then I will know I got it. |
