Ever make a movie? Options

[PuppyLove72]

Have you ever made a feature-length film?

Were your friends in it? Did you do auditions? Did you write the script? How long was it (pages/minutes)? Why did you make it? Did you enter it in a contest? What was the hardest part about filming? How many cameras did you use? Were you happy with the finished project? Did you both write and direct (and were you also IN the movie)? What were some big problems you dealt with?

Work out your kinks and plan each session of shooting (to the teeth), lest your cast and crew stomp your brains out of your head. You have to be a clear, helpful, and reliable anchor for your cast and crew (this means being on top of everything). Start scouting locations (asking owners of restaurants, homes, talking to some local bands, etc. etc. - maybe you can find a 60's diner, ah ha), start securing your communication with cast and crew, and start getting even more serious (if you want shit to happen).

P.S. Don't get hung up on the small stuff. It's a movie, we know it's not really the 60's. We'll be able to suspend our disbelief for the most part. So, just don't sweat the small stuff. If you really want the movie made, you'll find a way to deal.
