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 *********

Matt Zoller "Home" Seitz Interview

Matt Zoller Seitz's debut feature "Home" will have its theatrical premiere and a one week long run at the cultural capital of the western world, The City That Invented Independent Film (where John Cassavetes, Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee made their breakthrough & genre defining work), New York City. "Home" starts playing tomorrow, Thursday March 2, and runs until Wednesday March 8 at the Pioneer theater. To celebrate the occasion I did a 5 question e-mail interview with Seitz. See my review of "Home" here. Here's the fan-tabulous interview: Sujewa: Hi Matt, thanks for taking time out to answer some questions about your movie "Home". What was your filmmaking experience prior to making this, your first feature, and what made you decide to tackle a feature length project? Matt: At Southern Methodist University in Dallas, my hometown, I was going for a double major in film and video production and in creative writing. But I fell into journ
