What is the working relationship between a director and script supervisor? And what DO those script supervisor notes mean?
BMC Filmmaker Advancement Initiative Fellows, Monique Sorgen (Dir., “Sorry, Not Sorry” / Omeleto) and Caryn Ruby (Script Supervisor, “Along Came Wanda” / Amazon Prime) will discuss the director/script supervisor relationship. Find out what they learned from each other during their recent collaboration on the short film, “Random Check,” and share Caryn’s actual script notes from the film. An experienced director, Monique had never worked with a script supervisor on her own projects - a situation Caryn is familiar with - having been the first script supervisor for many experienced and first-time directors. This conversation will be relevant for editors as well as all filmmakers who are curious about script supervisor notes, and how having a script supervisor can benefit your productions.

Markus has since shot Mike Cahill‘s sci-fi drama, I ORIGINS, which was awarded at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival with the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize. He then followed with I REMEMBER which premiered at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival and won the 2016 German Camera Award for Best Cinematography.

It seems like everybody is talking about Virtual Production these days. It sounds like a magic bullet at times, and with shows like “The Mandalorian” and “Loki” (just to name a few) embracing this technology to create fantastic images, it’s hard to disagree.

Is it even possible to achieve quality virtual environments on a limited budget? What the heck IS Unreal Engine?!
