I hope this article finds you well, as I sit in my Greenpoint, Brooklyn apartment five days away from the opening of our feature film, “Dating & New York.” I’m just so excited—and there are hints of fall in the air, too: pumpkin spiced lattes (never had one) and school supplies (don’t use paper anymore). Ever since high school, I’ve sent hundreds of cold emails to directors, writers, actors, producers, composers; bts photographers from “Pirates Of The Caribbean,” asking for a bit of their time to lend some advice to an aspiring filmmaker. I was obsessed with what people’s *processes* were. Specifically, how were directors communicating to actors? How did they block scenes? Literally, how did they send emails? Was it formal? Casual? Visual? Throughout the process—which is still ongoing—I learned that no two approaches are the same. In short, no one knows anything. That said, I wanted to make an ongoing diary entry, dedicated to filmmakers. A simple, brief, and practical guide to making an indie movie.
