“Red Roses and Petrol” won first prize at the Avignon Film Festival, was…

As you explore FilmNet’s vast reserves of films, you’ll notice: some people’s work stands out. Sure there are titles here produced by world class film schools with tons of resources, but there are just as many semi-professional short films made by modest means. You can tell they had the same type of equipment and the same amount of people at their disposal as you do on your productions, but their stuff is just so damn good…
It’s all about making your film excel equally in all aspects.
If you q…

Launching a community site, like FilmNet, is kind of like trying to put on a party… in a tiny apartment… in Bosnia. It’s not so easy to get the A-list crowd (or any crowd) to show up. The way we see it, our greatness is inevitable. But right now, we just need to build up some street cred.
And we can’t do it without you, our bestest friends in the whole world. We’ve put a lot of effort into developing the site and contacting people to be the initial set of users and contributors. Help us continu…

As a local North Shore documentarian, I'm very excited to share that my film has been accepted by the Woods Hole Film Festival at the end of July this year. It's my first film, self-produced and financed. More a character study of devoted fishermen than about fishing, it was filmed on Plum Island, Massachusetts, just off the coast of Newburyport. It's also showing June 5 and 6 at the
Newburyport Firehouse Center for the Arts. I hope some of you might come.…

Hello,
My name is Doris Anne Beaulieu. I have a website-Life’s Ultimate Test dot com-on which you can learn more about my mission to change the face of home schooling.
I attended a parochial school as a child in the 1950's. In this Catholic school I was sheltered from the realities of the world around me-from swearing, from public displays of affection, from slang. These are often some of the same things that modern home schooling parents aim to protect their children from. A superior court judg…

Re: Film Contest
HUMTOO is a site for film-makers who are looking for music for their films.

When the project closes, the film-maker chooses the track they want to use for their film.
HUMTOO is currently running HUMFEST, a new project development contest offering a
$650 prize for the best film (or part thereof) that sources music from HUMTOO…
