1. What is your screenplay about?

A rowdy romp with the young lord of a manor when only his wit, daring, and a saucy barmaid can save his life.

2. Why should this script be made into a movie?

Offering tongue-in-cheek humor, strong characters and compelling storyline full of skullduggery and romance, it will delight audiences, male or female, age 13 and up. Based on real people and actual events, the struggles and feelings of the characters seem modern despite the fact they lived in the 1600s.

3. How long have you been writing stories?

MAKING A DOCUMENTARY
FILMMAKING NOTES

DOCUMENTARY FILM – TIPS for Documentary Film Production

THE FOUR BASIC DIVISIONS OF STYLE

1) EXPOSITORY DOC’S
Commenting on the Acting of the scene rather than being a part of it
-A lot of times Propaganda films (TV NEWS)
-Express point of view clearly and leave little room for misinterpretation

2) OBSERVATIONAL DOC’S
MIRROR TO THE WORLD – Way it’s going on, is going on
-Keeping the camera rolling
-Story comes out of the life of the people, not from the actions of individuals
-Conveys the rhythms and texture of everyday life

3) REFLECTIVE DOC’S

Watch the Audience FEEDBACK for the Short Film MY MILK CUP COW:

Matthew Toffolo interviews director Yantong ZHU:

Matthew: What motivated you to make this film?

Yantong: My Milk Cup Cow is made as an graduation film of my MA in Tokyo University of the Arts.

Matthew: From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

Yantong: About 2 years.
