@@spensersakurai thanks for the insight. I also think an interview with your producer would be interesting to get into the mindset of what producers do. Thanks for the reply
time ago when i was watching David F. Sandberg tutorias on RUclips or vime i said these guy is very legit and i said these guy is going to do something awesom like do a movie in hollywood watching you at these time i have these same feelig like with David F. Sandberg time ago
The film looks incredible but as a filmmaker myself, having made numerous shorts with a feature optioned by a studio at the moment, its really important to highlight a few things for most upcoming filmmakers; - If you're going to spend this kind of money on a short film (which I absolutely do not recommend doing) make it a proof of concept for a feature length film. Short films will likely never see any kind of financial returns, at all, so if you're gonna drop this kind of money on a short at least let it serve an even greater purpose to set yourself up for the feature length adaptation. - I cannot stress this part enough - it is...INCREDIBLY difficult...to get a short film programmed in a film festival if it runs longer than 10 minutes. Festival programmers will pick 4 films that equal 20-25 minutes in runtime over one 20-30 short, every single time. If you don't believe me, ask them. Ultimately, tell the story you need to tell, but short films are called 'shorts' for a reason. 20, 30 minute runtimes? Just make the feature length at that point.
Most filmmakers won't have access to such high end gear, sets, crew or budget like you do. I see a lot of films done with much less that were still very successful.
loving the BTS of the series ! great job - a mini masterclass
Big ups pushing through with your film. Wisdom and knowledge comes by doing. Can't wait to watch!
Putting in the reps!
Id like to see more of your directing, how you work with actors and get them comfortable with the performance
If you ever need piano/acoustic music for a film, I'd be happy to help, Spenser (and anyone else reading this).
Love this series! A lot of amazing lighting techniques. I'd love to see a budget breakdown video. Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying! Im not sure I can release all that but just know I had lots of favors, trades, and "short film rates." Just did what I could!

excited to watch the film!
Waiting for your film and trailer
Film is in the festival circuit so it cant be released online any time soon unfortunately.
@@spensersakurai oh shit I am soo disappointed.....but all the best for you
Why not just dim the lights up and down instead of moving it to make it dimmer or brighter? (With the lamp)
Because with the onboard controls or app you wouldn't get the effect as smooth as with moving the lights. It's just faster.

your point being?
The title should be "What it takes to make a film successfully"
So most filmmakers should just use what they have access to…
I believe you... But that wasn't the point of the video. Besides the Blair witch project... Which movies?
How do we know that this is a successful film anyway ?
