me and my buddy as posted in an earlier post are making a short very well written horror film. we are in the process of gathering equipment. and nnow it is time to get some film and we need to know how many rolls to get but we don't know how many minutes a 50' roll is.

I'm not 100% positive, but I believe 50' of Super 8mm is 3.5 minutes of film time. Don't forget to take your shooting ratio into account when ordering your film.
you'll have to forgive me but i know notta about this. what is the shooting ratio?

It's the ratio between what you shoot and what you use. Typically it'll be between 5:1 and 10:1 for a low-budget shoot on film (i.e. for a ten minute film you'll probably shoot 50 to 100 minutes of footage).
