still being in high school and all that.
Okay. Dismiss most of the advice I have given you. I didn't know you
are still in high school.
Shoot your pilot with whatever camera you have available. Shoot it with
your phone. This is a learning experience for you. Shoot five episodes over
the next year. That's one episode every other month. Choose friends and
classmates to act in it. They don't have to be actors, they only have to show
up. This is a learning experience. As a high school director you need to learn
how to put people together more than you need a top quality web series.
This is the time you learn how to direct; how to tell a story visually, how to
edit and (most important) how to handle people. Start small. My first short
film (made when I was 16) was about two kids daring another kid to ring
the doorbell of a scary looking house. Five minutes. Non-actors, crew from
the local college, my mom made lunch and dinner for everyone.
