Hey Jesse, Good question. Depends on your goals of course: if you're aiming to sell the script, produce it, direct it, etc. I think its great to go shoot a film if you can to do it and build a reel. If a script sale is what you're looking for, while you're executing that plan in the meantime go and shoot a video teaser of the material, rather than a shoestring film, unless you really feel it could break through and get distribution. A teaser trailer could work to both ends. Good luck!
Thanks so much Jack! I'm developing a script that has a lot of different undertones, that aren't so UNDER. Its been very difficult to nail down that (one short line) pitch. Will absolutely look into shooting a teaser trailer.
You're welcome. Yeah, log lines are tough. Try to sum up the story succinctly to convey the main characters story and setting and genre. Keep it simple.
