7 Things you need to shoot a film
Excerpt from my upcoming book, “How to shoot a movie in 30 days: Guerilla Filmmaking Guide”
So you want to be a filmmaker or director but have you no idea of how to get started? I grew up as a cultural sponge, soaking up classic films such as Boyz in the Hood, Malcolm x, Coming to America, E.T., and Scarface just to name a few. My favorite movie to date is American Beauty starring Kevin Spacey. I always wanted to be mentioned or compared to the great African American filmmakers such as Spike Lee, John Singleton and Melvin Van Peebles. I knew back in the day at the young age of 10 that I wanted to be a filmmaker and direct my own movies. In 2010, I was able to make my dream a reality and direct/produce my first short film, Blood in my Mouth. In order to make a short or feature film there are 7 essential things I feel you will need to get started. Missing one of these components is like trying to win the lottery without any numbers. After you get these things in order it is pretty much, Lights, Camera, Action!
