He was probably born knowing how to shoot good movies. :)
For a website called NoFilmSchool (and it’s educative aim), there sure are a load of pretentious folks commenting around here.

The official rules contain this statement:
“When you submit your Submission online via a new upload, the Submission will be designated “public” and will not be publicly viewable unless you choose to make it private.”
I wonder if they mean it *will* be publicly viewable unless you choose to make it private.
I tried to find an email address to alert them of this but, alas, niet (as Fyodor Dostoyevsky would say).
Awesome. I’m in with my upcoming two entrees. . . !
