You've now entered the
Dependent Films Download Center. It's unbelievable 1) how much these files can help,
and 2) how hard all of these tools are to find on the net. Thus, this is why
we've
assembled this compilation for all of you aspiring filmmakers out there. Best
of all, they're all FREE (a favorite word for all independent filmmakers).
These programs have really helped our productions, and hopefully they can help
yours as well. If you have any other programs you know of online or have questions about the origins of these files,
dfnet79 @ dependentfilms.net
, and we'll link them here.
Some of the following files are compressed in a .zip format.
To open these files, you will need to download a copy of WinZip.
