Coffee & Content: Why You Should Launch Your Career With A Short Film

RB's Ask Me Anything- April
Posted by Richard "RB" Botto

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

First, congratulations to all of you who have already participated in our monthly Introduce Yourself Weekend! Thousands of connections have been made between entertainment creatives and professionals from around the globe. Whether you are a long-time member or brand new to Stage 32, take a moment to pop over to the Introduce Yourself Lounge and say hello before the end of the weekend.

First up, we have a great video from Film Courage on making a short film, and how short films can be a better place to begin your career than a feature film. If you've got an idea for a short film you'd like to make but are short on funds, make sure that you submit your script to the PSWIFT Short Film Contest, which gives the winner $10,000 to make their project.

Next, director Brady Bessette is giving some great tangible tips on how to make a short film on a budget. The internet is just filled with resources like these videos, but if you want to dive deeper into this topic, check out this class from award-winning short filmmaker Tash Ann. 

As always, here at Stage 32, we love to share stories and knowledge with our fellow film fans. Know someone who would love this content? Share it with them! Tag them below!
