If you wrote a great script for a movie or TV show, you are probably considering pitching it to Netflix. Here are a few tips that can help you get started:
1. Research Netflix’s content library to see what kinds of movies and TV shows they have produced. This will give you a better idea of what they’re looking for and what type of audience they’re targeting.
2. Create a professional pitch package that includes a title page, synopsis, budget and breakdown, story arc, setting, character development, and at least three sample scenes.
3. Reach out to Netflix executives through your personal or professional connections. Even if this isn’t possible, you can still submit your package directly through the company’s website.
4. Follow up with Netflix if you haven’t heard back within a few weeks.

One of the most common questions when it comes to screenwriting... moreOne of the most common questions when it comes to screenwriting is "How do I sell my script to Hollywood?". Truth be told, there is no easy answer to this question.
As a screenwriter, getting Hollywood to buy your script can be a difficult task. However, there are several strategies that can help increase your chances of success.
First and foremost, make sure your script is as polished as possible. Professional readers will be able to tell the difference between a sloppy script and one that has been thoroughly reviewed and edited. Additionally, create a logline, or a summary of your script, that succinctly explains the story in a single sentence. If your script will not captivate its readers from the first 10 pages, chances are that no one will read the rest of it.
Next, get feedback on your script from trusted professionals and peers. If you are a student, you can... less

VFX and CGI are not the same thing. VFX stands for Visual Effects and is used to create realistic simulated environments, special effects, and other elements that can't be captured with a camera.
On the other hand, CGI stands for Computer-Generated Imagery and is used to create synthetic objects and characters that don't exist in the real world. While VFX and CGI are both used in the filmmaking process, they are two distinct techniques.
Even though both VFX and CGI are used to create the best scene, they are not the same. As you can see, each of them does something different, even though they do share some common applications in film and video. less

The chill of the snow combined with the warmth from a cigarette gives me a comforting feeling. Smoking in the snow also has a calm effect and can aid in problem-solving. With a calm mind, one can find better and simpler solutions.
With this in mind, I tried to create a self-portrait of me smoking in the snow. It is said that a picture is worth more than 1,000 words. I hope I managed to express these feelings through a single picture. less
Building a cage for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k Pro... moreBuilding a cage for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k Pro has been a struggle. The cage itself is not necessarily hard to build, but comes with quite a few challenges.
Finding all the components of the cage is time-consuming. I live in Romania, and very few companies sell these components in my country. Ordering them from global websites would take at least one month for the parts to get here.
I will film an event in February and I need the cage to be ready on time, therefore I started looking for components at the beginning of this month. Most of the parts have arrived and it took me a few hours to set up the cage. However, the handle was faulty and I need to send it back to warranty. Now, the complication is that the company I purchased it from needs to contact a company from another continent, which has all its employees on holiday until 28’th January and I might not get a working handle in time. I think I will need to film using the faulty handle which will be extremely... less
