Category: Economic News Film School - buckeye(148) I guess I should have posted this as one of my first blogs considering most people need to get a degree to start doing anything in the film industry.

Category: Economic News RE: Nigeria's 2007 Election - daretaiwo(92) The Elections are few months away. But the Government has started playing dirty.

Category: Economic News Theatre isn't convenient - buckeye(148) In recent years the box office has been taking a hit. It seems that people are being more selective when it comes to watching a movie at the theatre. Well if you think about, why not be more selective? I usually can't find time to see a movie. Most of my free time comes after 10:00 and the last...

It goes to show that the best way to be successful is to create something of value to others and help others along the way. Here is the... Category: Economic News Independence? - buckeye(148) I wanted to focus away from big business for once and dabble in the genre of indie films, otherwise known as independent films.

Category: Economic News Rise of the Indie - buckeye(148) I found a great site that focuses on identifying what indie’s really are.

Category: Economic News Documentary - buckeye(148) Documentary films have become a common thing in theatres today. At least more so than in the past. Some of the more famous documentaries are used not about something for the discovery channel or animal planet, but they are used as a source of journalism. Documentaries like Roger and Me, Farenheit... Category: Economic News Mockumentary - buckeye(148) I wanted to blog about the use of mockumentaries since I’ve focused a little on the documentary genre.
