Considering there are other options out there when it comes to screenwriting software packages for writers to choose from, it is a no brainer to not have those options on the list when picking the right tool for the job and the write software package for the screenwriter and or filmmaker.Also a short touching base on my options to distribute my films and content after choosing to abandon mainstream cinema aspirations.

It is obvious that festive days like Valentine&#39;s Day are being devalued. What&#39;s more is that it is saddening to see that filmmakers are using these days as an excuse to justify their poor choices in movies as self expression or satisfy their gratification disease.A lot of opposing viewpoints being raised against the so called &#39;woke&#39; culture and why everyone should be upset about it.

Why would you choose the wrong kind of microphone based on the hype on social media. Microphone sound is subjective as per my research and asking a few experts in the field of sound capture. You should be using the best microphone for the job.Critics of the Smallville TV show may be criticising the show for the wrong reasons while not remember the premise of the show.

Given the odds of getting into mainstream film and TV, I advise aspiring filmmakers and other content creators on their next steps.My review of the Tollywood film Rakhi, which I have come to realise that this is a propaganda film that has had a negative effect on society in India.
