You have warped to the planet of Film Resources.
We apologize for the amount of time it took to get this this page functioning... Actually, not really. We got this page up pretty damn fast. Anyway, check out the links below if you're struggling to find equipment, props, actors, etc. We know these links will help you, because we've had to slum and find all our resources ourselves. So many calls were made to crappy little prop houses with no (800) number, we wrote dorky little business letters - "Dear Sir: Please send us a catalog of all your worthless merchandise that you do not sell, but only rent out..." There were so many nights spent searching DOGPILE to find just one company that could...oh, sorry, I digress. If you're looking for production equipment or editing software, check the Graphic Design (Education and Resources) page for links. Just check these links out and may the force be with you. Of course, you may still have to slum and bust out a phone book or two.

This is a pretty big listing of companies specializing in hollywood type stuff.
New York's Film and Video Web.

Morrie Warshawski.
This guy has been compared to an online omniscient film funding God...only by us, though. He does know how to get those ends!

This site is from the editors of that one one magazine, uh, see if you can guess what it is. Go here. This site is very educational in addition to being resourceful. Huge searchable database!

Well kiddies, that is going to be all we have for right now on links. Like we've said before though, check back frequently, because we will have more stuff!
A few tips on finding what you need:
- Make a lot of calls and find out what folks have to offer.
- Improvise if you can't find what you need. We spray painted some kids' toy guns to make them look real...you cannot find those exact replica TEC-9s anymore.
- If you use a search engine, read the tips for searching. You can accidentally miss a lot of good info by not searching correctly.
- If you use a search engine, input the word "HOLLYWOOD." You'd be amazed at how much other stuff comes up when you attach this mere tri-syllabic noun to a word like COSTUMES.
- BE PATIENT! Look around. You've got your whole life to make movies.
