Short filmmakers are presently in a market that is glutted with films some good, most not so much and it has become increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd. Your advice is good: Write a good script that is short. My advice, once you have a great script: Surround yourself with people (producers, cinematographer, cast, crew, etc.) who know more than you do. Follow your vision AND their professional advice.

I always enjoy reading your blogs and although for me writing a short is farther down on my to do list, I do have many a paper with scribbled ideas for that day. Your advice and encouragement carry through to so many artistic mediums and I always feel like I have learned something (or have been reminded of forgotten knowledge), and more important still, I always feel inspired and motivated. Just wanted to take a moment to let you know I am listening and to thank you for your generous spirit. Blog on my friend ... smiles... Stay beautiful & blessed, Lynn xx Keram,
