FILMMAKING RESOURCES
SCREENWRITING
Oscar-winning screenwriter Michael Arndt shares craft insights in animated videos.
PITCHING
FilmGrab has free stills, but Shotdeck is still the most comprehensive. They have a free trial and a reasonably-priced membership. I have tried Midjourney and other image generators, but still find film still repositories significantly more useful. Adam Salky and Ryan Cunningham offer remote classes to help you build and hone your pitch.
DISTRIBUTION
Kinema and Seed&Spark collaborated to make a thorough distribution playbook. The Film Collaborative has a distributor report card, case studies, and more. Keith Ochwat's Show&Tell has a handful of free resources and a paid membership option for DIY distribution.
FREE ASSETS
Unsplash has stills. Pexels is best for stock-type video, also stills. Pixabay has stills, video, graphics, and music.
Let me know your favorite resources and tools.
