Shynola- Making A Film

Pre production is one of the main elements of film making, but difficult to get information on. Shynola said that the process of getting their films off the ground starts with work going to them, rather than them finding commercial work. Usually, the film/video directors are given a song or a script to look at, while there is already dates, budget and the airtime booked.
However, the film that Shynola are trying to make at the moment is one they have been writing for over two years, and one unsolicited. In this case, rather than work finding them, they bought the rights to the book that they are making a film of. Once the script was polished, Shynola planned to show the draft to friends, then get the view of an outsider and a layman. They would then tweak anything that needed to be, and finish the first draft properly, mailing it to those on the rollerdex; two production companies here and in the US, who have connections with Ridley Scott's and Francis Ford Coppola film companies. If they are not possible companies to produce the film, Shynola know someone at Warp films, though there would then be difficulty in finding the funds required for it. They will potentially get agents in America, and then as it is a film set in England, hope to get money from France and possibly Canal+, though a main problem is the funds, and where to find them.
Shynola hope to show film making in a truer light; rather than posting pictures of meeting famous people, they will try to show how something is made, how the ideas come about and how they develop.
After the draft of the script was mailed to film companies, the project was frozen. They had meetings with agents and small studios, getting the response of both excitement and interest, and 'critical damnation.' .........
