My company site, also, serves to exhibit arts. My company is, also, now responsible for major adult-entertainment labels. [ Calendar (not magazine), cat-walk shows in prime real-estate, DVD through major labels (soft-core/"B" movie), few live-event (pay-per-view-online) ]. Production studio is located in San Bernardino, for major network under other brand name(s); set outside of L.A. County, CA, for production capacity, sourcing of talented individuals (few) from LA County, Orange County, and several regions (many eligible) in and around Fountain Valley, including San Diego County, San Bernardino County, Canada/Canadians in our territory, and other States within the U.S.A. We(I) insist on non-union, non-guild, non-agent, law-abiding, participation. If you maintain union-representation and dues-paying, you will only be eligible to colaborate on our project(s) for a fixed time anyway, within our business practices, of course (meeting legal requirements), if and only if you are in business for yourself (independent of labor union representation or completely free from it). If you abide, by signing of a fixed period of time waiver of your membership rights, for work at the Fountain Valley or San Bernardino address(es), coinciding for the duration of the production time with the agreed hours set forth by the studio there, or by me for an address, then I invite welcome you to participate in the production(s). I also cast, or refer. (The provision concerning union-representation, enabling you to return to other productions elsewhere, may be cause for your guild or union to drop you/sanction you, requiring you to fight in court; or, to be abandoned and to consider... while out of work you must take your labor fight to the Supreme Court, and/or to the United Nations). Should there be an abandonment, by you, of your scheduled performance-time in studio "no-show" (which might only be a few hours, one day, or two days, or a few days), then you will not be hired again; and, you will be banned from further consideration. That is, because the scheduling-conflict might have been orchestrated by your union and such actions and consequences becomes costly. Pay (compensation) for your services is to be issued by the respective studio employer [ ie. xvideos.com (broadcaster), or, "hamster" (broadcaster), or, "glam0ur" (broadcaster), or, "Naughty America" (channel)], to have named some of those; and, not by me, nor by: film-shorts.tv , nor, short-films.tv . Any potential dispute of yours, after breach by either party, is your private litigation concern. Lastly, I advise you to create your own website as an independent artist/actor/actress/professional, to advertise your work and I emphatically insist that you license your business. That might be in professional category of fine-artist, dancer, stripper, musician, singer, actress, actor, etc., to be filed/registered with the County in which you reside.
("Sole proprietor" class, is recommended for you if you are in business, for yourself, if you intend to generate income, and if you have an online page - all conditions met). (ie. 'WordPress.com' landing page is recommended for such use). Report and pay of your income tax - file it - (Federal and State both : according to law - I.R.S.). Imperative, as well, is the submitting of your quarterly, online, declarations, of income (including any tips) to the CA Department of Tax and Fee, if you sell product, non-digital and digital, such as DVDs or T-shirts (so long as the State Tax board, if your are California resident, collects what is known as "sales and use" Income Tax). Business licensing in the county that you reside in, is a must do for you, if you operate a business and a corresponding website. Otherwise, your site is merely a landing page, containing contact information and resume/advert/head-shot/bio, which is great in itself. Those, in the latter, are the talented individuals who should reach out to me for casting, or, referral, or, dates, especially. My company provides no legal representation to you, and it (I) will not get involved in criminal proceedings, however, on your behalf; but, rather only against you, in the event that the Federal government file charges against you (ie. terror threat, or, criminal conspiracy, or conspiracy to commit fraud/violence, or, obstruction of legal process(es) including other disturbance, or privacy violations such as trespassing and/or false accusation.

At least one of my university thesis projects (from film-school, TV-school, digital new-media school) is exhibited from here free of charge. Christian media is also intermingled with "G", "PG-13", "PG", and/or even "R" - themed content. This is real-life content; yet clearly advertised as distinct to suitable audience.
My company accepts donations; Donate US taxed money as benefactor (while maintaining your anonymity... to stay off mailing lists) to good-will projects. Familiarize yourself with the rest of this page and also 'Company Profile' page. There is a format, which I outline for you, in processing your incoming money.
My company informs; and, my business is multi-faceted... FILM-SHORTS.TV! Originally conceived to broadcast short, indie, student film and video projects, the direction of my company changed - but the name did not.
It remains today, a multi-functional publishing company, based in southern California. Published & maintained by me [UCLA's film and digital new-media school graduate (TFT) (theater, film, and television)] - president of www.film-shorts.tv, licensed to do all that I do with it.
THE FREE THEATER PAGE : featuring 2 f i l m d i r e c t o r s f r o m UCLA (graduation year: 1 9 9 9) . This link takes you to the exhibit. It is for those of you who want to see what student films can be. Anyone who might be interested in enrolling into a major film school somewhere in the world, can view my work as an example. Unfortunately, some of my works were lost while I was a student, could not be gathered or transferred to specific media, or could not be featured here for another reason. Be also advised, that curiculum is rigorous. I participated in many media projects. Also, I interned while concurrently enrolled in Letters Arts and Sciences at UCLA Undergraduate Department, and, the distinctly separate School of TFT. For more details about the rigor, please do be sure to visit the "Disclaimer" page for some more specifics. Especially, if you are considering a similar career path.
Note about exhibition. (Regarding music licensing): If my use rights for music re-use have expired, please contact the company for discussion in resolving any miscontent you may have as the artist or artist's representative. The short films are usually otherwise displayed with assumed permission. No claim to composition or authoring of them is made by this company. No advertising revenue is being collected by showcasing these songs in my work, and no claim of any ownership of them is credited to anyone other than those who produced the music. Note, that student films require director and producer to have requested use by way of letter and through the school's administrative prompting for thesis projects of this kind in the USA (typically).

Prologue (platform)
Film school was for us, an incubator for political awareness, with disciplinary skill and creative relationship formation. There, film craft was passed on as analogue systems grow scarce. Understanding for the formulas behind US movie making (emphasizing story), the anchored history, and the emerging market platforms began to take firm root in us. It was the science behind mainstream and experimental movie making with multi disciplinary work and emphases, in the production disciplines and uses of technologies.
Rebel, the late Jim Morrison, pioneer F.F. Coppola, and a great number of others, leave enduring marks on this school's public image and reputation... but not only that. The school has given way to global collaborations and the newest generations continue to graduate. I am one of those alumni. Many of the films you know and love, were made by people who graced stages and screens for many past years; and continue to do so here. And, I invite you to explore my website fully!
Please, if you are posing as a reputable donor (but you are not one), do not bother to entangle me in your scams. Reputation, and character matters. If you make fictitious gestures of help, then you are going to harm your own reputation.
Send your questions to me! chris@film-shorts.tv
While my company accepts donations and routes % 's to other organizations, specific Christian organizations in the USA, and other pre approved, personal, favored, organizations, who meet needs at the State and national level, remember that I am a private business owner accross various industry. I/we also donate to others, based or operated outside of the USA, among selected few.
Another choice, of your benefactor status, is to donate to my company fully 100% for my organizations' profit. If you donate small value, use the "donate" button and write in a description for me (as you would on a check's memo line). You can also elaborate, or inquire, in email messaging to me. For small donations, write "patron of film-shorts.tv" [to distinguish your gift from a donation that would otherwise be furthered to 3rd party recipient(s)]. These types of donations are usually small gratuity, collected through 'PayPal' or personal check. You may mail a standard check at any time to my company mailing address, for any assistance to me. If you have a large donation that you wish to entrust to my company, see the instructions below near the bottom of the page, entitled : DONATIONS. We can discuss bank account information, for bank-to-bank wire-transfers. And, thereby exchange method and banking info including SWIFT info.

Donations are accepted as you click on the yellow donate button. Your donation is collected at: [PayPal account number: cjfonseca@film-shorts.tv]
Collections are categorized as 'for profit' with the US tax boards - www.film-shorts.tv is not a 'non-profit' organization; and your donations are not tax deductible as might be to a 501(c)(3). You write-in a brief description, on each personal transaction (eg. "patron of film-shorts.tv"). If you experience any currency difficulty, notify cjfonseca@film-shorts.tv. Do not use this Email address for SPAM or SCAM! You may always contact me if you experience any error messages while transacting. Transactions are placed by 'PayPal', using SSL security and encryption. Your contribution per transaction, should certainly not exceed 999.99 (US Dollar value) when using this method of donating. I advise that you mail a check for any amount up to 500.00 (US Dollar value). Donations will be subject to 'PayPal' scrutiny to combat money launder. Be certain that you have read the most recently updated of these terms with their company and understand my terms, posted at my site here, before making a donation or payment. Especially, if you have concerns about donating in this manner and method. And, it's also wise to notify me via Email, first, that you are going to make the digital donation, wire-transfer, or check donation, later. If you want % of funds to go to a charity with my assistance, you must specify on your 'PayPal' transaction (& in the memo line, as you donate, 1 of 3 category chosen). Simply write 1 of 3 category choices named. The 3 categories to choose from are simply: poverty, public health, or arts & humanities. (I will select the organization of my choosing, within your specified but general category). Make sure that you print your generated transaction receipts always, to verify that you made the donation to me. (60% of each post-taxed, transacted amount, will be furthered by me to assist a charitable non-profit organization with a USA headquarters, in your specified category; and, from your principle amount). The remainder of that donation, will be my company profit. 60% is the default percentage, unless you leave no direction as to %; or, unless you leave an amount in a last-will to me, in which I will choose %. Donations that you intend for me to forward, must exceed 500.00 USD if each is intended for a charitable 3rd party organization beyond film-shorts.tv. My business is properly licensed and I have experience.
If you do not specify a category on a transaction, 100% amount will be deemed as intended to be directed to my company profit; and, I will file income taxes accordingly. Checks, wire-transfers, and wills, must be addressed to my name. Digital donations can use my name or company name. Thank you for recognizing the costs of operating business, of online broadcast, of exhibition, of maintenance, of paperwork, of email correspondence, and for seeking to partner with me!
For inquiry as to how to transact in a bank-to-bank international transaction, I am ready to assist you with that information.
Remember to print your receipt(s) in all instances, so that they can be provided to 'PayPal' and me, or to any relevant party. I will not return any funds you donate back to you, nor to your select beneficiaries. I choose the organization. You must specify the principle amount that you are donating and await for me to confirm receipt of it to match your record on your end. I do not supply public disclosure audits to benefactors. Your donation will require 1 year to lapse, before I forward to the 3rd party charitable organization. Receipt copies that I receive from those organizations (who receive the final destination of funds), can be supplied to you per your request via Email, once I have the final monetary destination organization's receipt. If they do not provide receipt, I cannot provide it to you either. I require receipts for my tax purposes as well. Any donations made can be discussed with me via Email. Especially, if you would rather donate using a bank-to-bank wire transfer.

If you want to be an amateur movie reviewer, visit: 'www.fandango.com'. At one time (and I believe still they do), that company allowed members (us) to enter a social-networking site in order to discuss movies and to select favorite ones. After you have created a user profile for yourself there, and after you've logged in, you can create an avatar and then become someone's fan (buddy) in the community! Why? To see some of other people's movie reviews, and, to write reviews of your very own. At one time, over 800 visitors have read my reviews which were few but posted by them at 'fandango'. There was no compensation-scheme in place, in exchange for review-writing. Type my name "chrisratesmovie" (that was my handle) in the user "search box", to find my reviews that 'fandango' have posted at their site years ago. Later, I published and authored reviews within my own site www.film-shorts.tv/wpress.cfonseca160 . I check in with 'fandango' almost never; but, others have found it fun and useful to post their own reviews there at Fandango. They're also a good source for looking up movie showtimes, buying show tickets, researching story-lines, before going to a theater with ticket, etc. When I was a teen and young adult, "moviephone" was the way to check movie schedules. That telephone service may or might not still exist. Another marketing method had been newspaper and magazine adverts in print, and "previews" before theater-screening (maybe even as many as 3). I believe there should be a limit of 2. Also, relatively new, is the online webpage of Movie Studios, in brand, which showcase upcoming release.
*some of my very-most favorite movies remain unmentioned (on this site or theirs). Sometimes, a movie is more personal than one might wish to recommend to the public and to patrons.
Some American "old-timer" TV stations, which often feature film classics (or student works of art) that I can recommend to you, are:
"TCM" (Turner Classic Movies), "AMC" (American Movie Classics), "KVCR", "KLCS", "KCET"
I do enjoy many of the cooking shows that are/were aired on the weekends. Check "KLCS". I think they still have a great cooking-show lineup.
Contact your local cable, or, satellite dish/receiver operator, to inquire these channels to be informed of what they offer in their package of service. Or, find them on air, with your local digital-HD, receiver-antennae!
I know, many of you stream from providers such as 'Netflix', or similar online or through App. But, there are different ways to get great content these days. And, probably, eventually soon-to-come is the whole V.R. (virtual reality "world"). VR which will include children immersion, training (ie. piloting and driving-training sim), simple academic-subject basics, beautiful scenic, and for adults content such (as sexual in nature, within various environs).
I still enjoy DVD format, myself. CD's; and, even turntable-vynil (45 or LP), are in some limited production or even resurgence.
