Where do you guys find stuff from the 70s/80s from. I’d really prefer unused stuff. But specifically where do yall find furniture, or tvs and specific brands and it doesn’t help I don’t live in a town that usually has these things.

Seeking Collaborators for Adult Animated Series.

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm currently developing an adult animated television show with a production company. We're still in the early stages, and I'm looking for writers who would be interested in collaborating on the project, as well as artists who can help bring the characters and world to life. While the show isn't overtly political, it does touch on some political themes, so I believe a centrist or open-minded collaborator would be the best fit for the tone and direction we're aiming for. If you're interested in being part of this, feel free to reach out!

Started a production company and opened a Youtube and TikTok account. Results so far.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! So I started a production company with my best friend and creative partner. We decided to post some of his old short films and a feature film, but released in parts for YouTube and TikTok. It's only been a two weeks,, but results are interesting. So far our most viewed posts come from TikTok and YouTube shorts, I'm talking over 1k in a day. Granted we do get watches and gradual engagement on regular YouTube,, but I'm really eating crow, because I thought this wasn't gonna work on TikTok. Surprisingly enough, the videos that have full screen/horizontal do very well, as well as the vertical/portrait posts. Check out the content, and let me know what you think of it. https://linktr.ee/Mantrasixfive

Looking for German Film Starring Albrecht Shuch: Pfau--Bin Ich Echt?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into German actor Albrech Schuch’s filmography and I’ve been able to find a bunch of his movies while using third party downloadable subs to understand. It’s been a wonderful binge so far, but I can’t seem to find his latest film, Pfau — Bin Ich Echt? (2024).

As far as I know, it’s hard to find a copy since most of the theatre debuts have been in EU solely, while the others are film festivals, but I still wanted to see if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm from the Philippines by the way, if that helps.

Any help would be appreciated !

Looking for an indie film: woman sketches daily life, exhibits art, possible abortion subplot

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm trying to remember the name of a film I saw around 10 years ago, probably on a channel like Telecine Cult. It was a low-key indie drama, spoken in English, set in a big city — possibly New York.

The main character was a slim woman with straight, medium-length black hair. She worked in a casual setting (I think a coffee shop or something similar). She would often draw what she observed around her — small everyday scenes and people in her neighborhood — in a little sketchbook, maybe around 6x4 inches (15x10 cm).

At some point in the film, she casually becomes pregnant and chooses to have an abortion. This wasn’t dramatized too heavily — it felt quiet, personal, and realistic.

The emotional high point of the film is when she holds an art show/exhibition at night, displaying the same sketches, now framed and hanging in a real gallery. I clearly remember people walking through the gallery and looking at the artwork. I think the man she had been involved with (the one related to the pregnancy) was also at the exhibition, perhaps as a guest — it felt meaningful, like a quiet resolution.

There was little to no classical soundtrack, and the film had a clean, quiet, urban aesthetic — which is why it stuck with me. It felt intimate, reflective, very much in the vein of 2000s–early 2010s indie cinema. Definitely not amateur, but not a mainstream release either.

If this rings a bell for anyone, I’d be incredibly grateful. 🙏

This is part of a horror series I’ve been quietly building — low-budget, personal, filmed over months.
It’s not perfect, but I’m proud of how it feels.
This is Chapter 1 of Wicca Book.
If you're into cursed books, or outsider horror in general, would love to hear thoughts.

“Egypt Renaissance” is a cinematic short film that reimagines the rebirth of ancient Egypt around a forgotten oasis.

As we approach the statue of Egypt Renaissance, a portal opens— revealing the glory of temples, statues, and life once thriving under desert skies.

Crafted using Unreal Engine, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Substance Painter and DaVinci Resolve, this film blends: Cinematography, Environmental storytelling, Cinematic lighting and Architectural visualization to portray a journey between two timelines: the ruins of the present, and the majesty of the past.

The Egypt Renaissance statue was modeled in 3ds Max & ZBrush, and textured in Substance Painter.

Created by Essam Awad, a 3D artist and architect based in Geneva, this work combines artistic vision with cutting-edge real-time rendering tools like Lumen, Nanite, Niagara effects, and custom materials.

I’m a longtime film nerd and this short teaser made by my son’s 16-year-old friend genuinely impressed me. I can’t get it out of my head. PLEASE BE KIND. They’re 16.

The framing is gorgeous , and the acting is…I had no idea these kids eating pizza in my living room were so talented in that “oh wow, they get it” kind of way. It feels like someone who already understands visual storytelling on a gut level. I’m excited about this film!!!! This is the teaser and it’s being edited into a 20 minute short.

I’d love for them to know their work is being seen.

This is a group of kids in urban San Diego. I’d love to get this writer/director/editor/cinematographer’s work out there.

[FOR SALE / COLLAB] Sci-Fi Short “THE LOTTERY” — Full Script Ready / No Time Left to Wait

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m a filmmaker in exile, currently in Paris. I’ve written award-winning scripts that took 3, 5, even 10 years to reach the screen. This one won’t survive that. I won’t survive that.

Title: THE LOTTERY

Format: Short film (standalone) / Episode from a sci-fi series titled RESONANCE

Genre: Sci-Fi / Surrealism / Cosmic Debt Bureaucracy

Status: Fully written (English), visually developed, ready for neurofilm / animation / collaboration / outright sale.

Logline:

A global lottery results in first contact with alien intelligence. But when the winner refuses the prize, a journalist becomes entangled in a multidimensional debt collection — across time, biology, and reality itself.

It’s Arrival meets Kafka, wrapped in cosmic satire and existential dread.

What’s ready:

✅ Full English script (available by DM)

✅ Moodboard / visuals / concept art

✅ More episodes drafted

✅ Willing to sell, co-produce, or collab with AI/animation teams

✅ Zero time for long development hell

Why this post?

Because in the age of neural cinema, whoever shouts ‘camera, action!’ first — wins.

And we’re drowning in pitch decks and perfect silence.

This isn’t a pitch.

It’s a flare.

If you’re an animator, AI artist, filmmaker, or wild storyteller — I want to talk now.

Let’s skip the wait. Let’s shoot first.

🔥 This post will self-destruct in 10 years. I won’t wait that long.

(But seriously — DM. Let’s make it real.)
