I’m of the opinion that a good way to get your film off the ground is to start small. 'Whiplash' started as a micro film (Google ‘Whiplash short film’), a proof of concept that not only tested the waters but also became a catalyst for the feature film. Instead of shooting an entire short film or something of significance, consider shooting just one scene. Choose a key scene and focus on quality over quantity and just nail that one segment. It’s a powerful tool for testing, refining, and selling a vision. Something to consider…
