Siobhan O'Flynn's 1001 Tales http://1001tales.posterous.com tracing the roots & tendrils of storytelling today posterous.com Mon, 09 May 2011 18:48:00 -0700 The [Un-official] 10 Film Commandments of Edward Burns « Grazie! to Screenwriting from Iowa #infdist http://1001tales.posterous.com/the-un-official-10-film-commandments-of-edwar http://1001tales.posterous.com/the-un-official-10-film-commandments-of-edwar

1) Find up and coming actors who are talented and hungry. (And willing to do their own make-up/wardrobe.)

2) Use a crew you’ve worked with before, and shoot digitally.

3) Find free locations.

4) Don’t worry about film permits.

5) Don’t worry (obsess) about continuity.

6) Don’t mourn what you don’t have & ask lots of favors.

7) Pick locations where you can use little or no lights.

8.) Hire people for little money who can wear multiple hats on production. (But give them a cut of any profits.)

9) Even if you wrote the script & are the director— don’t be afraid to hold the boom mike when needed.

10) Don’t fall in love with a continual shooting schedule. Chip away shooting days and hours when you can.

how handy! Grazie Screenwriting in Iowa:
