It starts with an idea, then you write a script, then you find your team, then start production, then finish principal photography, put all the pieces together, and show it to the world—if only it were that straightforward!
This post was written by Mragendra Singh.
It all started with the question, “What do I want to say in my story?”
This answer gave me the spine to keep going when the odds were not in favor. Since it’s no surprise that there are a lot of moving pieces in the making of an independent motion picture, and there is a lot of advice out there that would probably be better than mine, I want to focus on my writing and directorial approach towards coming up with a plan to film this feature in 14 days.
How it started
The idea for normal was circling in my mind for a while but I was working on another feature, which… well, fell through. I can also write a post about how to deal with heartbreaks from projects falling through, but that’s for another day.
