From Zero to Short Film

On today’s episode, I finally get to the end of the pre-production process! Holy shit, we’ve done it! Location scouting, logistics, scheduling shoot days, the pre-production binder, crafty, production design, and rehearsal. Also some whingeing about my current creative struggles. Then extended whingeing about Dominique slapping me in the face with a fish. Stay tuned for episode 5 where we start discussing production of your short film.Giant Compendium of Filmmaker Resources https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H1KQYy7mNTOakRO0h0R2aVSxiSGqLY7kQ4xtuSTK8Ps/edit?usp=sharingHave questions or feedback?

On this episode, I discuss how I sourced my props and costumes and the process for hiring cast and crew. I also speak with actor Berserker Lotus who played Shawna in Insanity in 5 Acts about what it’s like being on an indie film set from the actor’s POV, sequel potential, and being haunted by sexist ghosts.
