08/06/19 • 18 min

You've decided to make your film yourself and that's absolutely fantastic. Before you jump in with both feet, consider the benefits of resource filmmaking. You start right at the beginning of the process - your screenplay. Making a list of your resources will help you determine what story to tell and will keep that budget in check.
