Here's an excellent site about sound design.
Film Sound
It has many great articles, beginners guides, glossaries, writings by people such as Walter Murch and lots more.
I thought this was a great article about how a director can get the best from his actors:
Working with actors
There's some other interesting stuff on that website too.
Directing Unsuccessful Motion Picture Shorts
DUMPS
An amusing guide about what not to do when making a short.
for writing screenplays:
www.scriptsecrets.net
www.wordplayer.com
and to read online screenplays:
www.simplyscripts.com
www.script-o-rama.com
Stock.xchng
An excellent, free stock photography website.
Hmmmm, where to start? Assuming you have no money and don't steal software, how can your computer help?
How about with your script and production software:

I guess you might need to write a few letters and keep your budget in a spreadsheet:

You need to put a call out for cast, crew:

So now you've shot your masterpiece, how you gonna edit it? Windows has MovieMaker2 and OS X has iMovie, both bundled with the respective platform. For linux there is cinelerra:

There's also a cut down version of Avid for Windows and OS X:

So now you need to design that spangly website to promote your film but want more wysiwyg than wysiwhat:

Well, it's a start.
You can't beat a promotional T-shirt so why not design your own and sell them on-line?

So with promotional tools in the wings, you now need a low risk way to sell a DVD product? It may be in its infancy but a bit of vanity publishing never did an indie filmmaker any harm - especially with zero capital required:

Then I spose you want to get around the fest circuit?

Get your film listed with the British Film Council:

And start using IMDB as your on-line industry CV:
http://uk.imdb.com/
Now all you need is a bank account to deposit all that money you've made [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]
