Behind the scenes at the Dances With Films Festival in Los Angeles. QUESTIONS ANSWERS and DISCUSSIONS. Monday, April 30, 2012. I'll Bring the Booze If You Bring the Coffee.

Not sure if this is a good idea or not, or if people would even use it. (or heck, if this exists already? April 30, 2012 at 11:18 AM. Dude, you guys ...

Dances With Blogs: Ask The Programmers
http://rsmellette.blogspot.com/2011/04/ask-programmers.html
Behind the scenes at the Dances With Films Festival in Los Angeles. QUESTIONS ANSWERS and DISCUSSIONS. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Okay, this sounds like an open, transparent form of festival programming, but in fact, I've watched 25 movies in the past few days and my eyes are bugging out of my head and I don't have a thought between my ears, so I'm being lazy and throwing the ball into your court. What questions do you guys have for me? Are you a filmmaker waiting to hear from us on submissions? But the se...

Volunteer in the Spotlight: Robert Mellette, P.A.L. Board Representative. Posted by Sarah Parker-Lee. In Volunteer in the Spotlight. Asymp; 4 Comments. As a kid, I hated books. Reading for me was literally a chore. I used to live in fear of the question, “Have you done your reading today? Billy Bobble Makes A Magic Wand. Was about six weeks out from being published, so I figured I should become that busy person and said yes. This is a fascinating time to publish a book. Larr; Previous post. Laurel, got t...

Dances With Blogs: The Harvesting
http://rsmellette.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-harvesting.html
Behind the scenes at the Dances With Films Festival in Los Angeles. QUESTIONS ANSWERS and DISCUSSIONS. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. This is always the most difficult time of the year. Deciding what films get in the festival is easy. Deciding which ones don't get in is not. Another frustration is when filmmakers don't answer our e-mails. One told us, "I don't check this e-mail address very often, can you just text me? Here's hoping no one reading this gets one of those. April 22, 2015 at 3:19 PM. Taking a b...

Dances With Blogs: Novelist vs Screenwriter vs Playwright
http://rsmellette.blogspot.com/2010/10/novelist-verses-screenwriter-verses.html
Behind the scenes at the Dances With Films Festival in Los Angeles. QUESTIONS ANSWERS and DISCUSSIONS. Saturday, October 9, 2010. Novelist vs Screenwriter vs Playwright. I've written stage plays, screenplays and novels with nearly the same success, and lack thereof, so I thought a comparison might make for a nice distraction while we wait for Dances With Films submissions to get rolling. I have no doubt arguments will abound, which is a good thing. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. You want to be the auteur?
