TFC Tidbit of the Day – week 4

TFC Tidbit of the Day 16 - Qualifying for Academy Award Consideration for Documentary Filmmakers Just because a documentary doesn't get a theatrical distribution deal doesn't mean it can't be considered for an Academy Award.

Jon Reiss' Tip of the Day

Today’s tip will be a meta tip. If you go to Twitter and search #totbo you will see the stream of tips, ideas, comments, suggestions etc from everyone who was engaged in the Totbo NY Workshop in the room in NYC or who virtually participated in distant lands!

Is it a strained relationship between a couple, a quirk of a person or just a simple conflict?

Jon Reiss Tip of the Day - Week 1

Day 1 – The Next Chapter Many of you might know me from the book that I have written recently, Think Outside the Box Office (TOTBO for short). The primary reason that I wrote it was to share what I had learned while distributing my film Bomb It with other filmmakers so they could learn from my successes and mistakes.
