I encourage you to send an email to me at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to johngaskin@talkfilm.biz.

The four services I provide on this web site are:

  1. The Book (Walk The Talk) and Seminars - Gain FAMILIARITY with Film Budgets, Film Production Weekly Cost Reports and the language of investors and Studios everywhere:
    Any comments are welcomed.
    JohnGaskin@talkfilm.biz


  2. NonResident Tax Return For US Personnel Who Have Worked in Canada:
    I researched this well for a Producer from Los Angeles who I worked with on a Major's film production in Montreal. I've prepared a template of the forms and I actually filed the return as a learning experience. Everything went beautifuly and I can help any Loan-Out file in Canada with ease. I will respond to any query right away. Tax returns are a private matter. Any communication from you will be in confidence.
    NonResTax@talkfilm.biz


  3. Film Budgets:
    I have a few budgets that I've set up for various places in the US and Canada. They're 'template' style budgets that would be perfect starting points for an independent film maker. They are available in Movie Magic Budgeting, or a simple PDF file. I am happy to let any of my subscribers use these budgets as starting points for their own film budget; however, I can't make any guarantees about the current numbers. I am providing it to subscribers only as an aid to their independent film promotion, not as a paid participant in their project. he budgets I have will help you to set up your own 'current' budget suitable for your project. Send me an email to Budgets@talkfilm.biz to see how you can download a budget which may be applicable to your project. This is available only to subscribers to my articles, or buyers of my book. Again, pay attention to my disclaimers.

  4. Film Production Forms:
    There are a number of forms which independent filmmakers get themselves embroiled in. Everything from DGA Security Agreements through to Check Requisition Forms. There are some sites which excel at providing many of these types of forms and contacts - see my Web Resources page. However, there's usually no place to find the more unsexy forms like Check Requisitions, etc. I have several categories of forms which I'm happy to share with my subscribers and bookbuyers. Send me an email of the forms you may need - send it to FreeForms@talkfilm.biz.
