Your first short film doesn’t have to be great—it has to be made.
This post was written by Hyuri Constâncio.
Have you ever worked on an idea for years, hoping it would be your first short film, your directorial debut, but hesitated writing the script for a fear of ruining it, or because you felt you weren’t ready to write that script yet?
Well, sometimes you just have to put that idea aside for a moment, come up with a simple story, grab your phone and just make a little movie, so you can fail fast, make all the mistakes, learn the basic lessons and gain the confidence before making a proper, well-produced short film, but also to test yourself as a director and see if your intuitions are really there.
My name is Hyuri Constâncio, a new director/writer based in Brazil, and that’s exactly what I did. And I want to show you how.
