Hello members, am Kisakye Hakim, from far East Africa- Uganda, I want to take a step ahead in film industry. I want to direct and produce a simple script, though one challenge now, among my scripts on this platform is a local script ONLY FOUR that has been approved by local readers and script writers.
But on it's break down, it looks expensive and whoever loves it runs away for the same reason.
so I then picked up an idea from those i have and want to make it simple, interesting but cheap for production so I can directs it and produce it.
what do you think of this idea:
-ME AND MY WIFE AFTER ADULTERY, in this a feared authoritative wife working with the army suspects her husband for adultery from his phone calls, stakes her plans and arranges an abrupt family visit for herself after a burst-out with her husband. leaving him in the bedroom, grabs her bags and the upkeep he offered hides in one of the rooms in the house.
-The husband moves out happily arranging a meeting with the new hookup, all these fall in the ears of the wife unknowingly.
latter in the evening with her gun bumps into the hotel's couple suit as a waitress and gets him with the hookup.
-She serves the dish to the scared ones, using less words mostly signs, after food, its time to sleep, by order they sleep her with the gun hurting non, sits in between the two, them below the blanket and her on top.
-In the morning, she moves out saying no word and heads home.
-Man at work confused of what step to take , he is rude to everyone, confesses to the friend who tells him, he has to go home and face the woman.
-Man in the evening after work and gathering some strength reaches home and all house helpers including the security guards are no where to be seen.
- In the house every thing looks normal, she welcomes him in her skimpy chamming night dress, no kiss, no peck, food already served as usual and she looks fine but only silence. she eats her food taking a fork from his and a sip on his glass. man does a lot to make her speak out including breaking the glass and getting his fingers cut, but she is simply quiet and just watching him.
-They silently join the bed room till morning, breakfast served and she head for work, wishing him a nice day. A man looks for where to start but no opportunity.
----------
- she is psychologically torturing him and his goal is to make her speak so he can ask for forgiveness.

This sounds like an interesting idea that could be made cheaply, Hakim Kisakye. A Drama/Thriller. Is this gonna be a short film or feature?

Hakim Kisakye You can strike the balance between inexpensive in some areas, and expensive where production value is concerned.

Ok, Hakim Kisakye. Yeah, I think you could make this movie for cheap. It doesn't sound like there are a lot of action scenes, characters, and locations. And I don't think you need CG at all.

Make a short similar to feature film ideas. You're completing with thousands of filmmakers, all of them trying to separate themselves from the rest of the field and get jobs by employers.
expensive or inexpensive filmmaking, nobody can answer that question; I saw USC film students spend $25-$40K of their own money making shorts. They didn't think $40K was much.

Hakim Kisakye , I think this could easily be a contained movie, low budget, most of it taking place at the home of the main characters. Uganda is an interesting setting, and if you bring in some of the local culture, it would be fun.

Yeah, Robin, I want it contained, limited locations and of course not forgetting the culture.
