Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Best of luck on your project chardgha. My advice is to keep it simple - don't be overly ambitious on your first film. ...and leave something to grow into to perhaps eventually do it right...believe me I know. I've been both an amature and professional filmaker and I sometimes cringe when viewing some of my early films - I certainly look at them and think of the very many ways I could do better now. So do a short (without lots of actors or extras) - perhaps only a slice or aspect of your family's experience - such as their arrival to America and their experiences meeting up with other Armenians and getting settled - and discovering their (our) common stories/experiences....or you could perhaps focus on the events in Anatolia and what your family went through. I have to say though this may not be an easy task. I've been contemplating making a documentary along these lines for some time now (a true end to end documentary on the Genocide) - sort of in the Ken Burns vein (more then a dramatization per se - but perhaps with elements of both). Its a daunting task let me tell you. At this time - if I ever do it at all - I'm shooting for the 100th Aniversary of the Genocide...in the meantime I hope some visionary and capable Armenain filmaker can manage something...perhaps I could be a consultant like Ani (Arsinee Khanjian's role in Ararat....)

      well done man good luck with it all

      yeah dont mention the Jews it wont get anywhere in the US

      tell us how it goes

      you can have the past as its happening and the future of the Turkish government trying to get rid of the past maybe even have some writing at the end of the film like what is happening to the day

      thats why i liked Ararat so much they told us whats going on to this day

      have a look at the other films like Mayrig thats my favourite one even give Atom Egoyan a buzz
