Not all movies should be in 3D.

Hollywood have gone 3D happy, some movies should be in 3D but on October 15 of this year Jackass in 3D, oh come on give me a break. I don't want to see Johnny Knoxville getting hit on the nuts in 3D, just think the person who invented 3D technology didn't foresee his inventions use by the crew of Jackass. Hollywood have a history in taking new technology and killing it, that is why Hollywood is broken and people like me who have innovated ideas and new way to make film, don't get the break we need to make our films. People and investors are scare of new film ideas, they don't want to invest money in to someone new like me. That is way Hollywood suck's, and the same bull crap in the film industry.

Resident Evil, Afterlife.

Capcom-Unity has posted some of the first stills for Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D. The new movie will star Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and that guy that whispered a lot on Prison Break. I'm an idiot for even having a shred of hope for the fourth Resident Evil movie, but hey, I'm a Resident Evil fanboy all the way.
Speaking of the new Resident Evil movie, Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and Paul W.S. Anderson will all be in San Francisco this weekend promoting the new movie at WonderCon. I'll be heading to the panel and trailer presentation, will you?
Why 3D?
This film don't need 3D, is good as it is, just like all of the previews versions of Resident Evil this one don't need 3D. Is like Hollywood have gone 3D crazy, not every film is right for 3D.

Why I want to make my sci fi film Union.
I was born in to a poor Hispanic family my mother separated from my father, so I went to live with my mother. She had move to New York with out known a single word in English, somehow she manege to make a living and put food on the table. She even manage to give me some money, so I can go to the cinema and escape the reality of my life. Being poor at the age of 10 was extremely difficult for me, movies gave me a way to imagine a better way of life. And for the duration of the film I was happy, I would hate when the movie ended, because it would mean that I had to go back to reality. I told my self that someday I would make films, but life had other plans for me.
Now at the age of 41, I want to make my dreams come true. I want to make films, I want to inspire others who go to the cinema to escape the sad reality of life. I want create unique and amazing films that would bring enjoyment to others. I want to create a legacy for others to know that is OK to dream.
Union is a film that I want to make because it deals with people cultural differences, and how they must cast them aside for the greater good. Sure the film deals with a fictional situation (Alien Invasion) but the script is set on reality.

Indie Sci Fi Movie Union.

When I started in my quest to start a film company, I knew that it wasn't going to be easy. It harder than I thought, the hardest is looking for the money to make the film. Everything else is easy, convincing investors is like trying to find air in space. I will not stop, I will continue. So i started two fund raising websites to try to get the money, click at the links below and check them out. Share it with your friends, it would mean a lot to me thanks.

Fundraising Ideas for Filmmakers.
Part One:
An acting showcase is a great fundraising idea for filmmakers. It is similar to producing a stage play for public audiences. Independent filmmakers can use many of their moviemaking skills to produce an acting showcase.
These skills include budgeting, scheduling and directing. Acting showcases can be very profitable if executed properly. This guide will show you how to produce an acting showcase and raise funds for an independent film production.
Rent a Theater
The most important part of your acting showcase is a location. Find a theater in your town that is available for rent. If you live in a large city, there may be several theaters that are willing to rent out their space when other stage productions aren't in operation. Alternative theater locations can be located in high school auditoriums, churches and recreational facilities. You will need to find a place with a stage and wide seating area for an acting showcase fundraising idea.
It may be possible to get a theater for free, if you are creative and have dependable resources. Whether you rent a theater or not, make sure that you know how to control the lighting and room temperature. These items do not have to be monitored by you on the day of the showcase. It is important to know where the control devices are located. You must also make sure that there are bathrooms located in the facility being used for the acting showcase fundraiser. Parking is another location detail to consider as well.
Hire Actors
This fundraising idea would not be complete without actors. You must find enough actors who are willing to participate in the acting showcase for little or no money. One incentive that can be obtained is exposure for actors who star in this fundraising idea. You can invite casting directors and the press by offering a few reserved seats. This can be a great way to get actors to participate.

Part Two:
Actors can be found at local theater companies and schools. Many colleges have theater and drama departments that are filled with students who are looking for more acting opportunities. If your budget allows, a small
classified ad in the newspaper can also attract actors to the acting showcase. Once you have selected actors, tell them what you are trying to do. They can help to spread the word about the acting showcase fundraiser once a performance date has been set.
Select scenes from movies and television shows
Acting showcases usually include performances of multiple short scenes over a short period of time. You can select special scenes from famous movies to present at the acting showcase. If there is enough material, you can also skip the Hollywood movies and showcase scenes from your own screenplay or a love version of the movie you are raising funds for. This is a great way to attract people to your acting showcase. It can also help you find actors for your film.
Hire a Crew
Stage plays require a crew for a smooth operation. This is what you are also going to need for your acting showcase. Find a group of volunteers who are willing to help you with this fundraising idea. You are going to need people to help with tickets, concessions, sound and a lighting person. It is also important to have at least two stagehands that can help actors with their lines, wardrobe and miscellaneous tasks.
Sell advertisements in a program
Most of your money may be generated from selling tickets or charging at-the-door admission to the acting showcase. You can also make money with this fundraising idea by selling advertisements in a program. Many stage play productions give audiences members a program that lists notes from the production and cast members. Programs can be designed and printed out on a home computer and copied at a local printing shop. A great way to make money with a program is by selling spaces to local businesses.
Explain to them that you are holding a fundraiser for your film and ask if they would like to sponsor it by purchasing an advertisement. The advertisements can be various sizes including business card size and half and full pages. The prices should also vary for each size. This will help to raise even more funds for your film using an acting showcase. Actors will get exposure, local residents are able to enjoy great performances and you get to make your film.
