Buena Gente

Hello everyone

Just wanted to share some helpful information for writers, producers, directors, actors, etc. If you are involved in the moviemaking process there are a lot of great sites and tools to help you achieve your goals.

For anyone wanting to learn about independent film distribution, sales, film markets & more; please visit www.FilmSpecific.com, the site's creator, Stacey Parks, has a phenomenal book titled, "The Insider's Guide To Independent Film Distribution." They have a membership for a small monthly fee & you get access to a lot of useful information & yes, I'm a member.

Michael Wiese Productions (www.shop.mwp.com) has a number of tremendous books on acting, directing, film financing among other topics. I would definitely visit their site if you want to learn more about your craft. I have many books from them.

Another great tool for filmmakers is www.withoutabox.com. They work hand in hand with all the film festivals. That's where we registered Buena Gente and they are associated with the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). The same day we submitted our project to the NY Latino Film Festival, we received an email to create our film's page on IMDB www.imdb.com/title/tt1418849/. Without A Box also has options to sell your film directly to the public & really empower artists in this digital & do-it-yourself age.   

I hope this has been helpful. Please share any information you may have, too. Remember, Buena Gente is coming this summer. We have some big announcements on the horizon. Thanks for visiting & come back soon.

All the best,
