How to finish my short film and get into the screenings
"It took A LOT of effort but I got it done eventually :)"
How I did it: I basically had to make a short film about teenage drinking for a local film festival, and so I wrote my script, gathered my cast together (friends that I knew were interested in acting) and got the filming done! It took a long time due to legal, copyright general actors not being there issues, but it was worth all of it as we got into the screenings! So, I'm going to that on the 13th Jan to see who has won!
Lessons & tips: 1. Make sure you get permission to do/use everything that you do.
2. Organise the times and places IN ADVANCE.
3. Be prepared to change your script round in order to fit it in with the circumstances.
Resources: My cast, my locations, my friend Satin and various videos on YouTube for inspiration.
