Hello! I'm an Actress & I've been thinking about getting some people together to make some short films. I've had some really disastrous dates in my time..... and I'm thinking after relaying them to people I know, that they might be quite entertaining for some type of mini series of short films. Does anyone have any advice on how to get started as I don't know much about behind the camera! I'd love to get involved in directing on the other side of the camera as well as acting too. Thanks :)

That sound fun, Have you got anything written yet?
I have written a rough draft of a script for one particular disastrous evening! lol

You'll love it! It's good to get your feet wet with some compulsive filmmaking. That may sound like a bad thing, but believe me it's not. Is there anything more specific you're interested in finding out?

Sounds like a great series idea. I have some great ones to share if you're looking for someone to script an episode or two. Let me know. they would all be from real life. Let's just say I was the King of First Dates before getting married.

That's cool would you like to throw some dialogue back and forth? I also have some great trick on getting a pilot shot on the cheap once you've got the everything nailed down .

Not only love the idea, but I love how many 32'ers are rallying around it. That's what this platform is all about!

My recommendation is buy a camera, watch a few youtube tutorials, find people who are hungry for it, write scripts and learn how to edit as well. That's what I did.

Hi Faith, Did anything come of this idea? I would be interested from a scriptwriter/cinematographer/editor point of view (yes, that makes me cross-eyed too).
