The goal of any Indie director is to make it to the festival level. With a two minute time limit, that is obviously not in our future, but as the dreamer I am, I can't help but want to strive for that goal. So as the saying goes, "Monkey see, monkey do" I too can learn a thing or two from some hotshot Sundance filmmakers.
Like director Charlie McDowell, we began with a fraction of an idea, and we're still building upon, so I guess we are doing something right. But after this point we have no idea where to go.
We could follow steps two through five, but step four requires only fifteen days of shooting and then a large fancy screening in Utah, and we just don't have the budget for that. Considering the actual size of our project, we don't actually need any sort of budget at all. I guess no skiing for this creative team.
Realistic or not (Or nah?) McDowell does offer some great advice, and according to him making an Indie film doesn't seem so hard. But we are as amateur as amateur gets and maybe that will add some charm to our overall production, but it all work out...hopefully.
