Writing a dramatic screenplay is both a challenging and rewarding
experience. Aspiring screenwriters may find the writing process
intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. A screenplay is simply a
story written in a unique format. If you can tell a good story, you
can learn the writing techniques that will make your story come alive
on the silver screen. Read more...

Submissions are now being accepted for consideration at
FILMTies.com  Launched in tandem with the California State Film
Commission and working with the 44 regional film commissions and
offices, FILMTies.com is reaching out to filmmakers and enthusiasts
for quality submissions to be considered for acceptance and
funding.  This unique model offers an unprecedented opportunity for
community building, huge returns and a transparent/participatory
development model never seen before in the realm of financing and
producing film.

Please submit free your projects at www.filmties.com for the chance
to get your movie made.  The 5 best projects from each region will
be chosen for development under the FILMTies.com model.  Beginning
in late August/early September, selected projects will enter the
funding and promotions, visible to supporters, fans and participants
on the project's unique website.

This transparent and accessible phase of early film making is the
first of its kind, and will be also offered to CA film schools as a
Stepping Stone project in which student filmmakers vie for the
opportunity to learn the art of filmmaking start to finish in live
time, real life, online.

Traditionally, the independent film community has met with slammed
doors, major hurdles and zero funding when looking for ways to see
their works produced.  Film Ties offers an accessible, human model
and funding source.  Combining the income of the skyrocketing
internet advertising boom with the ever increasing popularity of
social networking sites, FILMTies.com in conjunction with the State

in California.

We make movies.  So should you.
