  1. "Mountain Films" Production Company is a film studio, television production company and motion picture distributor. The company was founded by Michael Costa in 1954 in Vinewood, the current head director and the CEO is Duncan Costa. The company moved to Red County with the aim to provide another level of entertainment to the residents of Red County. Since 1954, Mountain Films has distributed various commercially successful films, such as "The Creation of the Mountain Films" (Documentary, 1967), "Last Days of Micah" (Drama, 1992), "Ninja-Jack" (Unfinished version)(Action/Fantasy, 1992), and they're planning to create even more. Another purpose of the company is to find new talents and train them around Red County. The company plans to create colorful films in many genres such as: - Action - Adventure - Comedy - Romance - Drama - Documentaries - Horror - Science Fiction "It's time you to leave your country and move to Roseport!" - Nines Reyes, General Director of Mountain Films, 2011 "We at Mountain Films view ourselves as philanthropists. By recruiting talented actors, we give them an outlet for success! We turn the common rabble into pinnacles of drama and pop culture! In other words, we work to make you famous!" - Michael Costa, 1994 "That thing's huge, dad. Where'd you get it?" Ryan stared in amazement at the huge box his dad was lugging out of the Boxville. He leaped out and landed on his feet, and began walking toward their modest home. "Hard work, kid. Thats where I got this." It would take Duncan guts, strength, and a little bit more than hard work until he finally understood what his dad was saying. The year was 1990. The streets of Dallas, Texas were hip with promotions and kingpins in the film business, and his Ryan's dad was a large part of it, being the CEO of the film production company, which was then known as Volcano Films. Sometimes, Michael Costa would come home tired and frustrated, skipping on dinner and leaving his wife, Helen Rivers, to fend for their child that night. Things changed in 1994, once the two'd gotten married. Not only had Ryan, at age fourteen, began to view himself as an independent man, but the luck of Michael Costa in his film business. He began coming home happier than a sloth in slumber. It became known to us that his films were selling like Coca Cola in the 1930's. With this came certain luxuries; my dad bought not only a new Cadillac, but a bus for all his staff, and actors. One day, Michael had asked Ryan if he wanted to come with him on one of the film sets. Of course he'd done this a hundred times before, but this time, they were going all the way out to Nevada to film in Reno. The trip was splendid, because Ryan met lots of famous actors, the staff were really nice, and he passed through a lot of cities with pretty views. It was thrilling to be going so far away from home, and to be on the set while the movies were being filmed. When they got there, all the actors got off the bus, while the staff went to the back and retrieved the equipment. It took them quite a while to set up, but once the filming began, Ryan, oddly for the first time in his life, began to see the magic, the art of film. His entire life he'd viewed another's work, from the exterior. Looking at movies wasn't a critical thing, just entertainment. But what he saw in the interior was what mattered at this moment. He watched his dad direct the entire thing. He was creating this beautiful kinetic art with nothing but his imagination, stage directions, and a huge camera. It was these moments that sealed the fate of Ryan. In the year of 2000, Ryan's father passed away from an unknown disorder. In his will, he'd left Ryan his camera, money, and keys to the studio as well as the ownership papers, in his name. He'd left Ryan the business of Volcano Films. Not only did Ryan have large shoes to fill, but he had things to change. With his fathers business came the respect and disrespect of the locals. "You're a Costa kid. I know for sure you can pull this off." "Duncan, you're a try-hard with stunning determination. You can reboot the business." "If your father could do it, anyone could!" "I suppose its worth a try. You can pick up where he left off, continue his legacy." __________________________________________________ "You can't pick up where your father started." "Volcano Films is dead. It died along with your father." "Its over, kid. Go find yourself a nice job and try to forget about it." "Just because you're Michael's kid doesn't mean you can be as great as him." Ryan would eventually prove these men wrong. After days of hard work, a paintbrush, and some welding and printing, Ryan had redone his fathers studio, into what is now and will forever be known as Mountain Films. Immediately, he hired some actors and began business, creating his first feature film, "The Light Shines White". As he was the director in this film, he felt a certain power within. He was creating art. And it felt amazing. He knew it was his calling, he knew this was what he was born to do, and what he would die to do. His pleasure was cut short. After the film was done and was sent out into the world, Its reception was not so great. This caused Ryan to be short of the money needed to keep the studio and pay the bills at home. He only had $60,000 left in his bank account, and it would run out in 3 weeks time if he used it for all the bills and utilities. So Ryan withdrew everything out of his bank account, then a week later, filed for bankruptcy. But more than 5 years later, this wouldn't be the end of Mountain films. Requirements for Actors: Talent Requirements for Staff member: Patience and Hardwork Requirements for Extras: Existence Requirements for Cameramen: Camera (Amazing Screenshot 1.1) There will most likely be a green/white Bus and a Boxville wherever shooting is taking place. Don't be shy and apply for any position you'd like. Give it a shot!

  5. Lawsuits/suing people

    And that's what we call Metagaming and as far as i heard it will not be acceptable. Appying is like sending an e-mail to the place where we apply others did not know that the guy became a jury unless they were told in an in-character manner.
  6. Lawsuits/suing people

    Yes i know, read carefully next time because i said.
  7. Lawsuits/suing people

    We can balance the system then. To become a jury member you need to apply in the forums ( maybe in a sub-board ) that will be adminstrated by someone to make sure no troll join the jury or judges.
  8. If you fund the movie there will be no problem! Note : I find that it's useless to update this right now since Identity will be opening atleast 2 months from now so don't expect much info from me about this till a later time. @Mangotango If people are actually intereted by this idea i may create sub films companies you can help if you want tho.
  9. Thanks, i also can't wait for that to happen.
  10. Role-Play thread.

    Hello, everybody interested in rp. Here's the thing i'm going to start a rp scenario and people will react to it by posting below. Example: * Tom is walking in the street, suddenly a car hit him* So an another person will reply for an example doing this : * Maya take's out her phone, dialing the emergency number; reporting the accident.*. After the role-play scenario is over someone else is going to create a new one. What is the point of this thread : To get to know each other and improve our role play skills and meet, because it will not be logical if no one know each other in a big city. Rules : 1 - Never go Out of character. 2 - Never Meta game ( aka using informations that the PLAYER knows but his CHARACTER don't for an example i saw in the forums that tom got a gun in his backpack then i go in character and pretend that i know that he got a gun in his backpack ) So i kinda of explained the necessary stuff. Here the role play scenario : *Stewart is playing the guitar in the street with box infront of him asking for money* (( What will you do? )) (( Another Note : When you want to talk OOC'ly use brackets or something. )).
  11. Today I Fucked Up

    Whoa, nice necro guys.
  12. What would you do?

    Jumps and scream like a weaboo then take out my axe and rape him ( make no sense right ) Next : Yo mother mind got into yo wife body and your wife mind got into yo mother body and a mage told u to get it all straight you need to fuck one of em. what will u do?
  13. I think it should work out like this: The rent will be automaticly taken from your bank account if you don't log in at the time but if there is no money the system will allow up to 48 hours to log in and get money to pay the rent. Orrrr, paying rent etc should be roleplayed for an example somebody can go easy with the dude he is renting the house to.
  14. Exactly what i'm going to do but i will need sponsors for money etc.
  15. Paradox

    i find the Opposite day paradox funny. ( from wikipedia "It is opposite day today." Therefore, it is not opposite day, but if you say it is a normal day it would be considered a normal day. ).
  16. Any other real crime families?

    Advertise much? I don't think that the rose-port pirates meet the standards since it litteraly doesn't follow the basic things that any modern pirates do and the story is pretty much flawed so i guess you guys are friends? I can say that your family is impressive everything is correct and precise same for the the Langston Family. Just my 2 cents.
  17. Your ideal story?

    Here is the beginning of your story : “Sebastian? Sebastian!” Hehad to call me twice to manage to drag me out of my oblivion. I looked up to him with a face that said nothing, and eyes that refused to break the self-established silence. I was half conscious, and his words mostly slipped by unheard, until he pressured my wound by mentioning her name. “Amelia, Sebastian, what about Amelia?” – He asked, expressing little to no empathy, yet demandingly. “It’s Amélie.” – I corrected him, disgusted by his behavior. It was obvious he didn’t care, while I took it personal, too personal. “Jake, stop.” – His assistant stepped in, motioning something with his eyes, slowly shaking his head. He placed a glass of water on the table and asked me the same question with a calmer tone. “What happened to Am-” he paused, and corrected himself in mid-sentence not to infuriate me more – “Amélie.” He failed. His French distorted her name. Yes it was that terrible. I, however, still could not take my eyes off Jake, who reluctantly stared at the two of us, waiting for something to change. For him, it was simply another bad day at work, but for me it was more than just that. I clenched my fist, dying inside from a wish to break his face, but I was chained to the damn table, lucky him. Cuffs tightly clung to my wrists, most likely leaving two bloody circles around them, but after hours of laying on cold steel, my hands could barely feel anything. “I’ll handle this.” He said to Jake, asking him to leave the room. Jake nodded, and shut the heavy door behind himself. I followed him with my eyes, straight to the mirror glass, where he supposedly would be watching me from. Coincidentally, it was my reflection that stared at me from that very point. “Look. Let’s start this over again. I know my partner is a bit rough and all, but we’re trying to help. Just tell me, what happened.” He asked, approaching me with a more friendly conversation. I was still silent, my mind had anything on it except talking to this guy. It was too busy, too lost. “Sebastian?” He repeated. Sébastien… Sébastien… Sébastien… For some reason, I started to hear echoes of my name in my head, of my name as I loved to be called, as she used to call me. My eyes froze, I don’t remember what I was looking at, but I couldn’t see it either way. I had nothing on my mind now, and I perceived nothing. My head was exploding, and from either rage or confusion I squeezed my head with my palms, trying to repossess myself. “WHAT?!” I shouted as he jumped back, going straight for the handle of his handgun. I could already hear the door opening, and expected Jake to barge in. He didn’t. Assistant returned to the table, sat down and looked straight at me. “Tell me what happened. You know this is going nowhere when you’re quiet.” I wanted to talk now. I honestly did. I couldn’t keep it in me anymore, but I simply couldn’t utter a word. I tried to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and recall what happened to me, to us, before I found myself here. I tried to talk, and as soon as he noticed it he withdrew his notepad, ready to write me down. “I’m all ears.” He said as he clicked his pen.So I began: ( here you are going to make your story here is what i got in mind : You character is somebody who discovered that he can see everything he did in the past he can go back and see everything but can't change anything but that will help him reach his goals etc for an example if he was a detective...you said it need to be romance here is your lover Amélie and his super natural power that i was talking about ) Have a nice day.
  18. The Lost Identity

    You are missing the damn point: he might lose his confidence or something similar that's it! so be nice to him and encourage him and you said That's pretty much you making fun of his bad english but just forget about it and move on.
  19. The Lost Identity

    Well, my experience with english wasn't the same of yours however that does not change the fact that you need to stop being mean to others and actually help them.
  20. Roseport Pirates

  21. The Lost Identity
