Episode Fourteen: Promoting Your Film
Making a website for your film may seem like a no-brainer, but did you think you might want to create it during the development phase of making your film? It may seem too early, but it’s important to know that it’s never too early start promoting your film. Promotion doesn’t just include a website, but it also includes branding your film and making your film’s poster as well.
Episode Fourteen Guests
Andrew Robinson
Unlike most filmmakers, Andrew Robinson never set out to become one. At the age of 13, Andrew and his family relocated to Littleton, Colorado where he would eventually attend Columbine High School. During his time at Columbine, Robinson fell into the dramatic arts and became a staple in school as well as local and statewide productions. However, the morning of April 20th 1999 changed all of that. April Showers marks Robinson’s second feature length effort. Robinson and Edwards have recently begun work on their second feature film collaboration, an adaptation of Dancing Carl based on the novel by three-time Newbery Honor author Gary Paulsen.

Method Mate Update
September 9, 2009
There won’t be a new episode released this week. I’ll give you a week off to catch up on past episodes! There is some Film Method news, though. I am pleased to announce the addition of three new Method Mates to the Film Method family! Video Symphony TV & Film Post Production Institute, Momentum Creative Studios, and Indie Printing.
Episode Eleven: The AD Experience
You may assume that an assistant director on a film set is helping to actually direct the movie. Judging by the name alone it would be easy to come to that conclusion. What you may not know is that the ADs are responsible for coordinating every department on set and all the actors as well. The different AD jobs are some of the most important on a film project and definitely not for the faint of heart.
