You'll Remember Me, short film

A young photographer captures memories for others, but due to a temporary memory loss, she can't remember her own husband. This heartfelt drama brings to light how a temporary memory loss affects everyday life and emotions.

Restricted Zone

You can lose everything in life, but it's important not to lose yourself. Steppin' through the rain, you ain't stayin' dry. This world’s a giant puddle, a trap for the eye. Hard to leap over, but so easy to trip. The light in your hallway is losin' its grip. What’s in your sight? Shadows of lies? They flexin' a smile with them hollowed-out eyes. Twisted mouth of a screamin' phone. But your heart is a "Restricted Zone". The lyrics, music and video editing are mine.

Great advice for creatives

Great advice given and taken, here. And very timely for screenwriters and creatives at the moment in this "get AI to do it for me" age we find ourselves falling into. Key points: 1) Find your passion. 2) Work your backside off. 3) Don't take shortcuts.

AI is for humans, not instead of!

Greetings! I am Andrey Shvidko, a screenwriter and the author of the project "Homo incorporeus" (Incorporeal Man). As a writer, I am always looking for new ways to tell stories, and today I use AI as a powerful tool to amplify the meanings that matter.My latest work is a song and video titled "Pocketman". It’s a sharp, social commentary on the power of money and how it pockets our world. Think of it as a screenplay translated into the language of industrial rap and future technology. I would appreciate your professional perspective on this synthesis of social poetry and AI tools. Anyone who wants to watch this music video in full can do so on my YouTube channel, which is easy to find by its unique name: @HomoIncorporeus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KQ8N_l4YaA

Something amazing

I’ve been working for months on something I truly care about, and I’m really excited to finally share it properly. What makes this special to me is the chance to work closely with two people who have shaped the way we all think about story: James V. Hart and Christopher Vogler. Not in a big conference, not in a crowded masterclass, but in a small, focused group where you can actually talk, ask questions, and work on your script face to face with them. It’s not just about lessons or theory. It’s about sharing meals, late-night conversations, script discussions, and those moments when a mentor says one sentence that changes how you see your whole story. For me, the goal is simple: create a place where serious writers can grow, connect, and spend a few unforgettable days focused only on story, craft, and the joy of being part of a creative community. In May 2026 we’ll be hosting Cinema Residency, a small international screenwriting workshop in Puglia, Italy. Just 15 writers, all working on their own projects, spending five full days together by the sea. If that sounds like something you’d love, you can find more information here: www.cinemaresidency.it

“ In his final attempt to save a dying horror radio show, Mike invites a voice actor live on air—unaware that the guest will turn the broadcast into a nightmare. ”

Directing On the Page

Walking actors, cinematographers, and designers through the details of their work on the page is obviously bad form. Nobody likes being told how to do their job... but what if you're right?

Financing Films

Financing is the process of soliciting investment capital or loans, based on the premise of a return of investment... and now we're going to talk about how I understand that process when it comes to feature film production.

Hollywood Finance

What's the deal in Hollywood, when it comes to business? What goes into the financing of a motion picture? Let's talk about it!
