The goal for the Romero Pictures Indie Brigade is to become a true, no-bullshit resource for indie filmmakers to find hard-to-find information, qualified and legitimate resources like document templates, tips, tricks, educational articles, external resource links and proven information designed to help filmmakers weed through the mountains of unqualified information available on the internet and provide a solid, reputable location for information so that filmmakers never have to question the validity or legitimacy of the help they seek and find within the Indie Brigade.

The podcast - free

The Indie Brigade is more than a podcast... it's a growing community of new and seasoned film professionals where collaboration is more than recommended, it's damn near mandatory!

DRONE CAV - free

Drone cinematography is exploding in film production and giving Indies the tools and techniques to get incredible shots like never before. Here at Romero Pictures Indie Brigade Drone Cav, we are your resource for the latest drone news, tips, workflows and countless other things that will take your productions to new heights!

Document Templates - Free

Call sheets, breakdown sheets, budgets, schedules and on-set reports like script supervision forms, accident reports, camera department reports, DIT logs are all over the internet and some of them are even good!

But Romero Pictures’ Indie Brigade is dedicated to helping the indie filmmaker think and act with the industry standard in mind because as our dreams and goals grow with each film, our need to operate as a perfectly choreographed chaos grows as well and there’s a reason the term industry standard is used; it’s the way things have always been done and a way for any crew member to walk onto any set and be able to hit the ground running.

All we ask in return for access to the RPIB document library is that you subscribe to our mailing list and like and follow us across social media using the links in the footer of this site or by visiting linktr.ee/RomeroPictures. Of course, we can’t force you to subscribe and like us, but we hope that in keeping with the spirit with which we are working hard to help filmmakers reach the next level of their craft, you will help us out by doing the absolute bare minimum anyone could ask you to do in return. Don’t be a dick… if you use our resources, help us tell more people about them so we can keep growing the Indie Brigade.

Script services - fee

The term “Script Doctor” was made up by the mainstream marketing world and was used to refer to studio employees known as Script Analysts who were usually kept on staff at major studios for a variety of internal reasons, but mostly so the studios could dip into another payroll column related to screenwriting without having to worry about the WGA.

The reality of it all is that nobody can “doctor” a screenwriter’s work and make it magically perfect or turn it into a blockbuster. The task of completing a screenplay is, always has been and always will be on the screenwriter. And with more and more content being made every day, it’s getting easier and easier for studios to find a million reasons to say “no.”

The hope of Romero Pictures is to help make this whole process a little easier on the screenwriter, because let’s face it… as a writer, we all need a fresh set of eyes from time-to-time; and when you hire Romero Pictures’ Script Services, you’re hiring a fresh set of eyes for your script with more than 25 years experience in the entertainment industry and more than 20 projects under our belt from idea to completion.

MENTOR SERVICE - FREE / fee

The hardest part about learning to become a filmmaker is, more times than not, finding a reliable source for your knowledge.

In keeping with the goals of the Indie Brigade, Romero Pictures has partnered with a handful of trusted mentors who share the opinion that knowledge is nothing if it’s not passed on to those willing to learn.

With our growing list of Mentors, we are working to add free online resources and places where members of the Indie Brigade can come to interact with our mentors in a group setting or simply learn from their posts and questions from other filmmakers that our mentors answer in a public forum.

For a more personalized experience and one-on-one mentor sessions, members of the Indie Brigade may select from mentors in the areas in which they require some dedicated time, project-specific advice or otherwise specialized advice about their projects and/or career.

Our stable of mentors is growing every day so if you don’t find a mentor that’s right for you right now, keep checking back with us.
