technical questions about the film

What cameras and gear are being used to create the film?
At Thousand Year Films, we highly believe that the value of a film should never be determined by the cameras being used to capture it.  We want the work to speak for itself.


About the "FATHER OF NATIONS" Concept video

Are the actors that appear in the concept video the same actors that will play the roles in the final film?
The actors were very involved in the development phase of the film. Not only were they able to deeply connect with the characters and bring them to life, their dedication throughout the production of the concept video was steadfast; we could not have done it without them. We are currently working to secure financing for the film and that is a major factor in determining the cast. To date we have not secured the final cast.

Are the costumes in the concept trailer going to be used in the final film?
The wardrobe pieces used in the "BURN Concept Video" were only used for developmental purposes.  We currently have very talented people working on much more specific and intentional costume designs for the characters in this film.  

Is the name of the film going to remain BURN?
You may have seen in a few places that we have the disclaimer "Working Title" next to the name "BURN".  A working title is generally used for two purposes:  The first being, an official title has not yet been decided upon, with the working title purely being for identification purposes.  And the second being a ruse to intentionally disguise the real nature of a project.  Which applies to us?  That's for you to speculate.  :)


About Thousand Year Films

What is our stance on mature/adult content such as coarse language, violence, and sexual content?  Does Thousand Year Films permit such content in its films?

We treat this type of content very seriously, and the short answer is yes we do permit such content in our films.  HOWEVER, it is not done casually or without thought.  We do have boundaries and some strict criteria that the content must adhere to.  We believe there is a difference between Graphic and Gratuitous, generally speaking, we permit Graphic content.  We feel this is a topic that requires more than what can be offered in a FAQ and we suggest reading about our Mature Content Policy to better understand our stance on this issue.   The Mature Content Policy will help you understand why we permit it, as well as clearly outlining what is not acceptable and how we determine what is permitted.

How long has Thousand Year Films Inc. been around?
We've been laying the foundation for Thousand Year Films since 2011, although 2017 is when we officially made our presence known to the public.
