uh..you should go on craigs list ( The website) and look under your state and find the film/tv postings under jobs. a lot of times there are local indie films being filmed and they need PA's and interns and help.

I am as well, shooting a movie, my first one, and I can give you some tips ive learned.\n\n-Need Cash?  Parents, Grandparents, Friends can donate!  Sell the idea too them, you would be suprised what you might get.\n   -Bake sales (No Joke, you can make some cash)\n   -Dont use credit cards...\n   -If your a college student, college loans are an option (I would talk to an accountant before doing that)\n   -Bottles and cans\n   -Pawning items (works in a pitch, Im selling my Baseball Collection :-( \n   -Look for Items around you (friends and family again, cameras, lights, mics, wordrobe, whatever)\n   -Work job and film on days off (will take a while, but you can fund yourself with the cash)\n   -Pray most of cast and crew can donate their time, or work for lesser cash.\n   -And Good Luck helps too.\n\nWell, thats as much as I can help.  Good luck my friend, and I hope the film turns out well!

Rent the movie "Pay it Forward" with Helen Hunt, Haley Joel Osmet, and Kevin Spacey.  It's wonderful.  Just do something nice for someone - put a dime in someone's parking meter, pay a toll for the person behind you, help someone load their groceries, etc.  Then ask them to do something nice for someone else.

Try selling your film idea on eBay.  Everything else sells on eBay, why not give it a try.  Just make sure nobody can steal your idea, if it's really good.  I also like the idea about a film festival, but it sounds like you need to make the movie first before you can submit it to a film festival for recognition.  You'll likely need some smaller films for a portfolio to show potential investors that you can actually produce a professional film.  I'd help for free if I had the chance.

Bring a couple of changes of clothes.  You probably wont need them, but the time you dont, the wardrobe dept will decide they dont like what you are wearing.\n\nTurn off your mobile phone. Dont just turn it to silent. \n\nFollow direction from assistant director.\n\nIf you are working with people who have done it before, get them to help you.\n\nDont approach the stars or try to take photos.\n\nMime talking to other extras.  During rehearsals, you can whisper a conversation which will give you an idea of what to pretend to say.\n\nDont knock over any scenery or props.\n\nYou will have to film the same scene a number of times from different camera angles.  Try to match the action in each shot.  Be aware of your starting position and whether you start on 'and', 'action' or a couple of beats after 'action'.  Get a few ideas of where you should be at different points in the dialogue in case they film only part of the scene in later takes.\n\nReact to what is happening in the scene.  If the main actors are in a fight, look at them.  If they are just talking quietly, ignore them.  Unless told otherwise, do what you would do in real life.\n\nYour eyes can be in the general direction of the camera, but dont focus on it. In both senses of the expression.  If its in the background, focus on something in the foreground and vice versa.  Concentrate on the action, or one of your fellow extras and you will soon forget about the camera.

First of all, you must register for free on the YouTube network. This is a process that will not take you too long. Once you are registered, you can start on making your movie. \n\nYou can make your movie in two ways:\n\na) Still Pictures: You can snap a collection of pictures, rather like animators do, and then use Windows Movie Maker or AVS MovieCrash (www.avsmedia.com) to make your movie.\n\nb) Video Mode: If you have made a moview with your webcam or your video camera, then you can immediately post it on YouTube after signing in. However, I would recommend making finshing touches with AVS MovieToucher (www.avsmedia.com).\n\nI hope this answers your query. If you have any more questions then feel free to contact me (asad_khawer@yahoo.com).

You should try finding local college/high school students who are majoring in drama and would like to get some experience and credits under their belts. You should explain to them that this would not only provide experience in acting it would also help their resume. You could also look for people who just might want to volunteer their time ot be in your film. Post a few ads around your town letting people know what you're looking for. Make it very clear to them from the beginning that there is little or no money involved. If they are still interested, you can proceed with your film. Good luck!

You can find the producers who are actually looking for some good scripts for their future movies. If you know anyone in film industry (even an amateur actor) you can use their connections to meet a producer and introduce your script and story to them.\nOr you can look up the production companies on the web and call them or send them an e-mail (NEVER send your script right away) and tell them that you have a script and you want them to see it. If they were interested, then they will either ask you to send it to them or will give you an appointment so you can go over there and pitch your script.\nBut don't forget to have a back-up of your script. Don't forget that there are lots of people out there who might hear your story and write it and then sell it with their own name as an author. It happens a lot so, try to contact the professionals only and talk about your story only when necessary. \nDon't show your script to any person who may offer you to read your story and edit it for you as a favour (or for any other reason).\nAnd even if you can, mail the script to yourself and keep the envelope sealed, so not only you have a back up, but can also prove the idea was yours at the time of the date on the stamp shows.\nTo be honest with you, it's a long road. Even the professional writers might have to pitch their scripts more than ten times (no exaggeration) to different producers until they hear a positive answer. It is a more difficult thing for the amateurs. But this is show business my friend, you have to be tough!\nEveryone wants to join and all of them want to be famous!

Rent the movie and either record it onto a VHS tape or use an audio tape recorder. If you need it on your computer, use the computer's microphone to transfer it. Good luck!

You're gonna have to get an adult to help out.  It could begin with your parents taking you to a talent agency.  They'll see you for free and you'll pick up free advice even if they don't take you on as a client.  You may have to visit a bunch of agencies before they take you on.\nOnce you're a client of a talent agency, they should begin the process of looking for parts for you.\nMeanwhile, peruse Variety to see what movies are shooting crowd scenes where you live.  Go start that way.  (see, you'll need an adult for transportation).\nOr look into your local community theatre.  When large productions come to town, they like to call the local community theatres to get actors for the smaller parts.
