I believe I just found the car I was looking for. What I'm doing is picking up a car from a junk yard and then looking for a functional car that matches the first. So, I can film scenes of a family driving on the road before a fatal frontal crash with a truck, where the car will end up flipped over, pieces all over the road, along with the bodies of the couple and their daughter. I'm not filming the crash moment, cause that would elevate the risks, the difficulty level, costs, etc. What you guys think?

Behind the scenes of a horror movie I was contracted to film. Not my own production, but I had fun.

Today I have all kind of professional equipment, but it wasn't like this before. In this short film I needed to film the actors coming down from the second floor of a house. Following with the drone would be challenging. I didnt have a crane. So... I used a TRIPOD, WITH A GIMBAL AND A CELLPHONE to make this scene. It worked pretty good in my opinion. What you think?

Hello, my name is Gary Ranatza. I’m an actor/writer with Landrum Arts. I have written my first feature film about my career in law enforcement using comedy, drama, and action. I’ve been told i have to get funding for my film first. I’ve tried posting on several film sites, with no success. What’s the best way to get funding? Sincerely, Gary Ranatza

That's like competing in a Nascar racing, without had never driven a car before. Short films are the best film school. You learn so much from mistakes you make (and you WILL make them). You learn, you improve yourself, and you build a portfolio to showcase your work. Unfortunately, new filmmakers have the dream of making a real movie.... now! You will put money, time, lots of work and other resources into something which result will be more than likely, a tragedy. Dont skip the learning process. Make short films first!
