| I often miss when a lady is flirting. I know there are supposed to be physical cues, but I am never focusing on those, as I am more so just a mess inside my own head repeating something like, "don't screw this up...don't look dumb...don't be awkward...don't say that..." etc. |

| Cons, as referred to, they often take place at big hotels and will have actors and filmmakers in attendance for photo and autograph sessions. Horror and scifi are the biggest kinds next to just ones for comic books. Cosplay and the like will be a given, but horror and scifi films are often shown. Yo... |

| Most important is just make the best film or films you can. Make them look and sound the best to your ability. It doesn't matter how you choose to show the films when done, if they look and sound like crap, you know. If they look and sound well, then it's up to whatever audience to decide from then ... |

| Audiences are just fine with / like the comfort of streaming from home. I know that Christopher Nolan has just said he is against it, but he's vastly outnumbered. Just going by horror anthologies alone, they are doing very well on Shudder, Tubi and Amazon Prime. Amazon allows you to personally work ... |

| Most big budgets go to one plot films. Anthologies are multiple plots with smaller budgets. The most important thing to guaranteed distribution is having the money to pay a known actor in a film. If said actor is in just one plot of an anthology, then it lessens how much money distributors want to p... |

| The guy who made District 9 just made his own youtube channel to release his short films. He gets any ad revenue from however many watches. If you do that, all you have to work on is just marketing (telling everyone you can to watch your channel and subscribe to the channel). |

| The most popular thing to do with independent short or feature films is to submit them into film festivals where industry professionals either go to or keep track of to see what films stand out of the bunch. Often, the filmmakers can be offered distribution options. At the least, you can make contac... |

| Yes, of course, just know that producers/distributors can be picky. Some only want to deal with one filmmaker or rights holder to an overall project, and some don't worry about it. Choose someone good with business dealings or more like a lawyer when it comes time to talk to producers/distributors. ... |

| Yeah, that pedal looks cool. I'm in no way a fan of Jack White, but I love the design of his first signature pedal. It looks like a telegram device almost. |

| Directing them all is up to you, but if you are asking about the current way distributors are churning them out, they are getting the best short films that are winning festivals and then lumping them into one film. At most, the distributors also produce a wraparound segment to tie the short films al... |
