Someone There - Short Film

Hey everyone, this is my first official short film. Hope you all enjoy!

Karen "Kay" Ross

Congratulations on completing your first official short film! You've definitely got the creepy tone down! This reminds me of a festival where you could only use the line "Who's there?" as the dialogue (same tone), but I'm glad you added more. Your female co-star is very dynamic! Keep her around!

LOL! I love that your screen read, "I have no idea what to write" LOL! Did you direct and produce, or just direct? Who ran your camera? I only ask to find out who else helped you through your creative process as a director.

Actually, I'd love for you to write a post about your first experience in the Filmmaking Lounge! Maybe share some of your challenges and triumphs? https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing

Thank you Karen "Kay" Ross I appreciate you saying that :)

Lol I actually took that from Scream 4! Yes, I directed, wrote, and produced the film. Everyone on screen were camera operators throughout the entire production. As far as the creative process goes as a first time director, I honestly just figured it out along the way and did my research on how to make a film with an iPhone using attachable lenses, filters, and filmic pro. I didn't have a shot list or anything, I just saw the movie in my head and communicated that as best as I could during the shoot. But my friends were a huge help in operating the camera the way I wanted and setting up the lights.

Also, I want to give a big shoutout to Michal Zak our editor on the film, he was amazing!
