Indie Short Film Production Checklist
Are you an indie director, producer, maybe an AD or filmmaker? This checklist is for you! I am a film producer who realized that I always made a new to-do list on every production I worked on and always missed things, so I compiled everything together into one resource. This checklist was built from experience, messing up, and figuring out processes to succeed. I wanted to share one of the major resources my teams use to keep our productions running smoothly. Having to-do list after to-do list, is extra work that we want to streamline for all indie filmmakers.
This checklist was made with the support of multiple filmmakers: Fonna Seidu, Lu Asfaha, Amanda Ann-Min Wong, and Carolyn J. Wu.
Questions for Auditing a Closed Project
Before starting new projects, I prepare by reviewing similar projects and ask tough questions. Auditing a closed project helps prevent potential issues from popping up in the future.
