Ahoy amateur and pro filmmakers alike! It’s early in the year to be thinking about the headache of finding financing, stirring up that fake blood, and tricking young idiots into carrying around apple boxes for free, but you should. If you do, you might be greatly rewarded with the sweet, succulent sound of an audience laughing, crying, or peeing their pants at the sights and sounds of your artistic endeavors.
