Everyone dreams about it. The glitz, the glamour, the red carpet, the afterparties, but especially the accolades. The pinnacle of success for a filmmaker, right? And it's not just the mammoth paperweight, but it's the speech you give when receiving that shiny, televised award. Have you practiced it yet? In front of the mirror, you say? Oh, dear. Then you may want to sit for this next bit. Comfortable? Good, good. "I'd like to thank…" whoa, hold that thought. Allow me to rip this particular ban...

There are countless other examples of shorts that made money, quite a bit of money actually, like the short by Peter Sollet 5 Feet High & Rising which became Raising Victor Vargas. In the...

In my first Stage 32 blog, I talked about the importance of “creating awareness” for your indie movie. If people don’t know about your f...
