15. Creating a Short Film Part 3: Pre-Production – Elijah

Hello friends, welcome back to The Improve Podcast!

This is part 3 of a series where I am documenting the steps necessary for creating a short film. In this episode, we have locked in a script and are working on pre-production. This means locking down actors, locations, budgeting, shot planning, scheduling, etc. We talk about all of that and more in this episode!

I hope you enjoy!

What are your goals for this week? What are your goals for this year? What are you working toward?!
