Short film completion time

[arttalk92]

I was just wondering, I'm making my first short to be put into exhibit by the beginning of May. I was just wondering is it possible to complete a short film in the span of two months?

I've pretty much finished the script. Just gonna make a few extra tweaks

Began the process of looking for actors and extras, as well as locations.

Can it be done in two months?

Thanks!

Depends on the film, and availability of the people necessary to shoot and finish it, but yes it's certainly possible.

It can be done if you can manage time and keep to a schedule.

You need a good producer to do something like this that fast.

Dude, there are people who make short films over the course of one single weekend. There's a major film festival based on this very thing. Most of the films are horrible, but still.

Anyway, yes, I'd say that two months is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to make a short. As Will points out, it depends on the particulars. A short film about two dudes talking in a coffee shop is going to be much easier to make than one about an international team of astronauts landing on Mars.

I'm going to assume that you know how ambitious of a project it should be. If you feel like you can pull it off, then I think you can.
