🎬 Before You Make Your First Movie — Watch This!

In this video, we cover:
⏱️ (0:29) Why you should make sure your film idea is actually worth making before shooting a single frame.
💬 (0:51) How to get honest feedback on your script from people outside your inner circle — and why friends and family don’t count.
📝 (0:59) The golden rule: if your script doesn’t work on paper, it won’t work on screen.
🔍 (1:35) How to research your idea to make sure it’s not a cliché — and what it means to add something fresh to a familiar story.
🎥 (2:18) How filmmakers like Guillermo Del Toro reinvent classics (like Frankenstein) with new perspectives.
🎞️ (4:06) The power of making a short test film before committing to a feature — and how test screenings can reveal pacing and story problems early.
📽️ (5:36) Real-world examples from successful directors who started small, like the teams behind Splash and Mama Saw.
💡 (6:53) Why story always beats equipment — a great script shot on a cheap camera will always win over a bad story shot in 8K.

If you’re serious about filmmaking, this is your wake-up call to focus on what really matters: story, originality, and preparation.
