Call for Low-budget Film Submissions...

[jhanke]

Microfilmmaker Magazine is now doing a general call for film submissions for their highly acclaimed critique service. Offered free of charge to the low-budget film community, Microfilmmaker Magazine is the only publication to offer in-depth critiques of low-budget feature and short films. This service provides valuable insight into what you as a filmmaker have done right in your film and what things still need improvement, as well as suggestions for making these improvements.

Here is what Emmy nominated screenwriter Todd W. Langen had to say about this service when it was given to his film, 42 Story House:

I began delighted, and ended up thrilled with the review of "42 STORY HOUSE"... This is not simply because the review happened to be a positive one. I've gotten a number of positive reviews in the past few weeks (now excerpted on my website - where yours will be prominently displayed!). Instead, it was both the breadth and depth of the review that I found to be (and note that I'm not really given to hyperbole, so I'm using the following word very consciously) astonishing.

Kari Ann Morgan is to be lauded for the most complete and erudite review of "42 STORY HOUSE" which I'm sure I'll ever receive. It's as if she and I had some sort of prior discourse as to exactly how the movie was made, and my intentions involved. Her analysis of the technical details surrounding the movie (especially regarding audio, the most problematic part of the production for me) was spot on and, frankly, amazing.

To have gleaned as much information as she did from simply watching the finished product, and with such accuracy, is... I'm running out of (non-self-embarrassing) adjectives here, so I'll go to Webster's... "to strike with sudden and usually great wonder or surprise" (i.e., "astonishing").

I fully realize the time and effort involved in not only viewing but REviewing something like this, and I am most appreciative that you and Ms. Morgan did so in such a highly professional manner.

Thanks so very much,

Todd W. Langen
