Produce Short Film
Estimated time: 2-4 months
This workflow guides you through producing a short film from initial concept to festival exhibition. Short films are the proving ground of cinema: they demonstrate your ability to tell a complete story in a compressed format, they serve as calling cards for future work, and they are the primary currency of film festivals worldwide.
The workflow covers six phases: script development, pre-production planning, crew and cast assembly, principal photography, post-production, and distribution through festivals and online platforms. It is designed for filmmakers working with limited budgets who want to produce something that looks and sounds professional.
By the end of this workflow you will have: a polished short film script, a production plan, a completed film with professional post-production, and a festival submission strategy.
