Scene 1 5 months ago

Well I’ve started on the project by shooting the first scene of my film and then editing it.

I want to make a short film 6 months ago

I have an idea, I’ve almost finished the script, I’ve lined up my friend as the DP, now I need to find two voice actors for the audio overdub, scout a location, and raise some money!



Untitled 9 months ago

this is a weird kind of a goal as i have no idea what the film would be about, although i think it will probably be some kind of loosely structured documentary. i’ve done a course on the basic and can more or less use final cut pro – just waiting for inspiration to hit.
