How I Assembled A Digital Editing Set Up For Under $1500

Of course even $1500, a paltry sum by Hollywood standards, is a lot of money for a lot of the poor filmmakers on this planet, but that amount is within reach for the disciplined American indie filmmaker with a dayjob of some kind (that pays in cash, as opposed to livestock or some other form of currency, I do not think the Apple Store trades their goods for chickens or pigs, yet). Here is the digital video editing set up that I assembled for cutting my new feature "Date Number One" http://www.wilddiner.com/ , along with the cost of each item: Mac Mini, 40 GB storage (from an Apple Store in DC area) - $500 Firewire cable - FREE (already had it, would be less than $20 to buy) PC Monitor, 17" - FREE (had an extra one at work, would be about $100-$150 or so to buy, I think) Apple Keyboard - $40 Apple Mouse - $20 Final Cut Express - $300 Speakers (w/ a sub-woofer - weird name for a gadget - from Radio Shack) - $30 Headphones (from Radio Shack) - $15 Extra, external...

2 Questions for indie filmmakers & festivals re: Festivals & Money

Two Questions Re: Film Festivals & Money: 1. Should film festivals share some of their ticket sales $s for a given screening with the maker(s) of the film being screened? - Since the vast majority of films that play festivals do not win awards or get a distribution deal because of the film festival screening, shouldn't at least some of the $s being made by the fest through a given film belong to the makers of that film? I think that would be fair (a lot of work goes into making a movie). 2. What are the festivals that currently give film makers a share of the ticket sales $s? Let me know if you have any comments & thoughts on these two items. Thanks a lot! Sujewa *********

A response to Zahedi's "DIY is a myth" post

In this post , Caveh Zahedi, director of the upcoming IFC Films distributed indie film "I Am A Sex Addict", said the following: "the do-it-yourself ethos is ultimately a myth. No one makes a film alone, and no one distributes a film alone." Here is my response to it (I left this as a comment to the post mentioned above): I do not think the DIY ethos is interpreted by any sane person as: a whole film made & distributed entirely by one person. However, in light of the following production & distribution structures: Hollywood & Indiewood, DIY filmmaking & distribution is a real thing. I know because I am doing it right now with "Date Number One" and I've seen Jon Moritsugu, Todd Verow do it w/ many of their movies. DIY filmmaking & distro is: low budget film production & distribution where the filmmaker or a collection of filmmakers have the final say in all significant creative & business decisions regarding a projec...
