    • 2 Useful Techniques to Write Your Screenplay Faster

Oakley Anderson-Moore

Writer

Director/Shooter/Editor

I'm a filmmaker. I generally subscribe to the DIY life, and I respect anybody trying to tell stories in their own original way. I’ve shot and edited over 2000 hours of vérité documentary footage. I like light gear that can fit into a backpack. I respect above all things experience, because nothing can replace what you learn from doing. That being said, don't doubt yourself for lack of practice behind the camera — life experience trumps all!

After seven+ years of work, my first feature length documentary "BRAVE NEW WILD“ came out this year on select platforms, and we're working on a TV premiere to come. Hooray! It’s the story of delinquent adventurers in Beat-Era America — from my point of view — having grown up the daughter of a rock climbing pioneer. The film was first chosen as one of ten projects in the 2012 IFP Independent Doc Lab and is currently finishing its festival run (where I won the "Emerging Artist" Award from the Festival Director at WHFF.)

I was born in a smallish town in beautiful Washington state, and then moved to a handful of big, big cities across the globe. I first discovered how much I liked watching movies after I moved to São Paulo, Brazil at age 9, and would go across the street to rent subtitled VHS tapes whenever I felt homesick.

I’m proud to be a writer for No Film School, and a member of such a thoughtful film community. I’m always looking to meet other filmmakers and future collaborators with the same spirit.

Article Comment – NFS Readers: What Do You Want Us to Ask at NAB 2019?

Thanks y'all for sending over your questions! If you've been watching our video coverage, you've probably seen we got answers for some of you on some of the specifics for gear. (Deity, Aputure, FilmicPro, etc.) If you asked a more involved and/or specific question, we found a few answers that we'll reach out with shortly. A few of you (Paul!) had really good questions that we did NOT find an answer to at NAB. But we are right there with you on that quest, and will be dedicating coverage to the search for, say, the best 4K full frame/no crop cameras that maybe, just maybe can shoot 120fps and beyond...

Boards Comment – Producing an Indie Webseries - Should I make an LLC?

Hey Alicia -- Stuff is confusing. I'm not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt, but how I would say it is that an LLC doesn't really offer you the kind protection that you're talking about in terms of income. Usually the 'profits' of an LLC are passed off to the owners to file individually anyways. So an LLC won't shelter a modest amount of crowdfunding cash anymore than your own self filing individually. But like Sean is getting at, if the budget is going to the expenses of your production or your expenses operating the business out of your apartment, as opposed to a salary that would go straight into your pocket, you'd probably break down your profits and losses when you file individually. So hypothetically, If you raise $10k and spend $9,995, you would list that, and then the $5 that you got to keep to yourself (if that) sure ain't gonna bump you into a tax bracket.

Another important thing worth considering: what state are you in and how much do you have to pay each year as an LLC in that state? In Arizona, you pay under $100 a year whereas in California an LLC has to fork over $800+ a year. Not chump change! I hear its more than that in NY.

I have no idea what kind of money you are talking about for your overall Seed & Spark campaign, but if it's not much and you can't afford a lawyer, hit up the library and check out some free handbooks, like 'The Pocket Lawyer for Filmmakers.' It will give you a lot of info that you'll need to make this decision and more. An LLC could be very useful to you -- but for other reasons! And fwiw you can often do an initial consultation with a lawyer to get a feel for things too. Congratulations on your crowdfunding and good luck with what you decide!

Article Comment – 'Meow Wolf': How to Build an Immersive World Through Film

Well I'm no strong-arm for modern art, but when I went to House of Eternal Return, I interpreted it as a magical science fiction world-building experience to tease the imagination. Also arguably signifying nothing, but then, you could sure lump filmmaking in there too!
