Body: Zeke Zelker, director of 2008's critically acclaimed In Search Of, has graciously agreed to let us pick his brain! Do you have questions about In Search Of, filmmaking, the independent film industry, or about how you can get started as a filmmaker? Here's your chance to interview a filmmaker who's latest work has been compared to Darren Arofonsky's Requiem for a Dream. Just post your questions here and Zeke will give the best answer he can! Here's what Independent Films Direct has to say about Zeke and his latest film In Search Of: The story revolves around several characters and their various sexual behaviors and how it affects their lives and their loved ones. From the opening shots, the cinematography grips the audience and gives them an intimate look at the daily lives of the protagonists. Zelker utilizes mirror shots and other brilliant techniques to add the realistic feel of being there in the scene. Not one to let something small like a "budget" get in his way, Zeke refinanced his home twice to help get his vision out. After attempting to go the traditional fund-raising route (which he likened to "pulling teeth from an infant") Zelker decided he had to do it all himself. He was able to raise the budget through private equity and loans and succeeded in completing his film…all from his hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Mr. Zelker was adamant about filming from home, as it serves not only as his inspiration but gives ISO the "everyday American town" feel that is intrinsic to the film's message.

Body: Hello. I'm trying to talk myself out of the film student thing; only doing it at a county college level at present. I am dumb enough to be thinking of blowing some money I have saved on equipment, and i was hoping for some suggestions. Four somewhat rambly questions. have become quite taken with the Canon GL2, but can't afford one. Knowing I'll have to go consumer grade, can anybody recommend under $500 camera equipment? In theory this would be for my own tiny-ass "indy" (read: homemade bullshit) projects, so I'd need more than just point & shoot birthday party camcorder here; decent picture and sound and adjustability of aperture and shutters are key. Any sound equipment recommendations? Capture decks/cards?I don't love mini-DV tape but am used to it; is there a big quality comedown shooting onto mini-discs or memory cards?If I have to resort to blue screen, what material in what hue works best?I'm probably going to "acquire" in some fashion Adobe Premeire, which I have worked with and think is ok. I can't afford a mac so Final Cut pro is ruled out;is there editing software I don't know about, but should consider?Thanks for any help. I look forward to seeing what some of you guys have been or are up to.
