I've been working on a script for a little under a year, and I was wondering if I should take it to a producer because I would like to be signed on as the Director, It's almost complete it's in the last act, and I want to start filming it in 2014. I invision making it independently then sending it to film festivals were hopefully I can find a distributor.

[Mr.PissShivers]

Do you know a producer whose office you can just walk into and give it to?

Not to **** on your parade, but what makes you think you have an ice cube's chance in hell of any part of this plan working?

You're not ****ting on my parade, I wanted to know if that's a good plan to begin with. Because I don't want to sell it as spec script I wrote for the purpose of directing it. I wanted to know how I should go about doing it.

[Theater Jock]

Do you know a producer whose office you can just walk into and give it to?

Nope I do not, thats why it sounds so far fetched. But I'm trying to come up with a plan on how to diret, as I said before I did'nt write it to be a spec script, I wrote it so I could direct it myself.

I hope it works out for you, good luck.

They won't let you direct if you have no experience. Your script will go over a ton of rewrites anyway, especially if they can cut out expensive scenes. Best bet is to talk with the director or something.

If you are interested in directing or want to learn more about it. I suggest reading "Directing Actors" by Judith Weston. It's widely viewed as the bible for directing actors

[Theater Jock]

I also forgot to mention my back up is, if I can't find a someone interested in producing it, my mom says she knows how to get financing for it. So I guess if my plan does'nt work out I'm going to see if she can get someone to finance it( It's a pretty cheap movie) when I get it copy righted I would like someone on here's feedback on the movie.

That's why I'm working on reel, I understand that they probabily won't let me direct a film without at least showing that I have some knowledge on cameras, lighting.. etc But I'm working on it, I'm going to be taking some classes, I plan on getting a certificate from the Boulder Digital Arts institute . I just need the technical knowledge. And my mom says she will worry about the financial side. It's a pretty cheap movie to make, so if I can find a distributor it will make a profit

[Mr.PissShivers]

Has anybody other than you read your script?

[Theater Jock]

Has anybody other than you read your script?

Yes but no ones read the rewrite I've done on it quite yet. I'm not trying to sound cocky or anything. ( just really think this could be a good movie. And I thought once I was further along on the process I would havfe it copywritten and I would let some people in this thread read and give me feedback

I have 4 movie ideas which are always going thrugh my head; 2 are ensemble films sort of in the vein of "Lost in Translation", or "Diner" (from 1983); one is a political farce & the 4th is a crazy old-school John Water's styled idea....now to work on ONE!!!

Cry Baby II?

[Mr.PissShivers]

Cry Baby II?

I was thinking more like a re-imagining of the original. Except Hatchet Face is played by Devine's son, Lady Gaga.

It's funny, I watched "Hairspray" again for the 1st time in prolly 10 years, I had forgotten how good it is- it had struck me as so-so back in the day.

Yeah, I need to go back and watch his films. I've seen Cry-Baby 4 or 5 times, and I've only see two others, and that was probably 10 plus years ago as well.

I think I've seen them all at least once.
