Creating Indie Films On Demand

By Ericka Marsh


As an aspiring director, you do not have to instantly compete with the big films especially when you have just graduated. You can only make that possible if you already have a lot of connections. If that is not the case, then you can try to be an expert in independent films for starters and move on from there.

First, your budget must be in the lowest level that you will be able to manage. Be reminded that you will not have anyone to rely on with your indie films on demand. You may get a few investors but then these people can only give you so much. If you will refuse to put limits on that, then you will be in a very crucial situation.

Second, you would need to create a story that would be able to pique the interest of anybody. Remember that you would want to have great attention in here as much as possible. If you would not be afraid to touch controversial topics, then that can be the door that would open a lot of chances to you.

Third, you will have to complete your cast by this point. Take note that you should inform these people of what they will be getting themselves into. That will help them internalize their role and lead them to become better actors. Your scenes will really have to be realistic so that people will be drawn to them.

You need to decide on where the scenes would take place. If you are required to be in a beach, then settle for one that has great waters and no entrance fee. If you would do that, then you would still be in line with your budget without having to compromise anything. That is what matters in here.

The flow of your project will have to be written in a device that you can bring all the time. Be reminded that you cannot fully rely on your memory when you are in the set. You can get carried away by the actors making you forget that they only have limited scenes. So, have a guide that you can rely on

You need to find a scriptwriter. If the person who has provided you with the story would be able to do that, then you would just have to hand in your specifications. If you would do that, then you are bound to have a smooth flow in here and that is all that matters.

Keep the original story intact. If not, then you will slowly lose the confidence that your writer has in you. When that occurs, then you will not have the complete support of your team with all of your decisions.

Overall, you just need to do the best that you can in here. If you would be in that mode, then you would not be wasting any of your efforts. You can finally show to the world what your talent is all about.
