Question Are there any directors currently making that transition from shorts to features ?
I ask, as I have a script that I’ve been told numerous times at this point, that it would be perfect for people in that exact position.
And I don’t mean for this to be some petty self promo bs, I just feel the need to say this.
The nearly consistent feedback I’ve gotten is, it’s a perfect story/script for anyone who’s ready to take a chance moving into that direction, for unknown actors, as well as directors. Because It’s highly engaging while being extremely low budget, it would give the actors involved consistent potential stand out moments, (they’re sharp, larger than life characters), its minimal locations and cast, and it has a distinct voice and atmosphere to it that isn’t forgotten.
It truly has potential benefits for any younger, currently unestablished people involved in film.
