Filmmaker Speak 23 Oct 2012

I just wanted to give an update on what is happening to  Filmmakers Speak speaking series; it will be put on hold until January 2013.   I have a lot going on right and the holiday season is coming up.  I am  working on a wonderful line up of speakers, ones that I think will be beneficial to the Tampa Bay area film and art community.

Also during this time I will be looking for sponsors so that I can truly grow Filmmakers Speak to the level that I want  it to be.  I would like to bring speakers from out of town. People Like Ted Hope, Sheri Candler and Jon Reiss. However this will take money and an good infrastructure to accomplish that.

If you have any ideas for speakers,let me know.  I want this to be a two way conversation.

Update on Film Speaker Seminar

Ok well here is a bit of good news. Keiser University is allowing me to use their campus to hold the film speaker seminar. I have some really good people lined up and will be announcing the first date soon. It is my hope to help the Bay area’s film community become stronger and better equipped with knowledge and the tools to be successful.

I plan to hold them once a month. They will be about 2 hours with a 10 minute break.  I am still working on details.

Also if you would like to be a sponsor please contact me at timschroyer@gmail. com

2012 What to look forward to.

I am excited about the upcoming year.  I am soon to start my production company, due to the fact that I have projects that are in the works and I need to be incorporated.  I didn’t want to create my production company just yet, however I have to.

At the moment I am putting together a film seminar here in Tampa. I will have local film professionals come out and give a seminar on whatever topic they choose regrading film and the industry. I am currently in talks with a University to hold these seminar and hope to have the first Seminar soon.

I have two productions in the works. One is the Polytrauma documentary and the other is a feature about rape and sexual violence. I am currently looking for 2 PMD’s for these projects.

Finally I am writing a film program/competition. The reason behind it is to help filmmakers prepare for the new landscape. Film making has drastically changed and I think this program will help them.  I will be looking for sponsorship and experts to contribute.  This program will have an emphasis on marketing and distribution as well as crowd funding.

What I learned today about Auditions

Today, for a short trailer we had auditions.  In addition to that  we got an opportunity to block and rehears a scene that we will be shooting and I am glad we did. The scene we rehearsed was somewhat of a complicated scene for me to set up, so to get together with my Co-Director and Production Manager, who is extremely talented, it was a blessing and a great learning experience.  Needless to say we have a very good working idea of how we are going to shoot the scene.

So back to the audition, we made mistakes. First, the audition was set up for 7 hours. This is fine if you are seeing 40 or 50 people that day however we did not. As a matter of fact while I was there we went through 4.   Secondly.  we did not do was have preselected lines before picked for the actors to read. Instead we were there debating what pages they would read from.  We looked rather discombobulated. And we were.  It was beginner mistakes.  So we learned that we need to be better to be prepared.

I also got the best bit of advice from my Production  Manager, which I hadn’t realized, which is when you get the actor in front of you give them direction.  You need to set up the scene for them. What is there motivation? What are you looking for out of them? Yes it sounds like a no brainier, but if you never have done it before you might not think of it.
