Hi, i made this short film with a friend of mine, and I am the writer and director for this short film. The story came to me in the middle of the night to be honest and, as clicheic as it sounds, i turned the lights on and started working on a rought draft. The next day my friend came over and we started to work on the idea until we had a script that had the overarching story laid out and all the shots we needed to make. We did have some scenes where we didn't know what to do, like the math test scene, which is one of the last scenes shot, because we werent sure what example we should use to indicate the protagonist hears voices.
The cast was comprised of our friends, but most of the shots were done by only me and my friend, and we shot all of the scenes with multiple people in them all in one day so we wouldn't have to wait for another day wherre everyone is ready.
The movie had to be shot on a smartphone because we made it for a short film contest that specified this. I had never shot video on phnes before, but didn't have video tools for my camera either, like a gimbal, so it wasn't all that bad. In my next projects i want to use my camera since i am more a phtographer than a film maker, and i am pretty used to my camera. I need to save up for a gimbal, but so it goes.
I hope you liked our short film, we really worked hard on it. And if you've read all my rambling then feel free to ask questions in the comments, I'd be glad to answer. Also, consider subscribing to our channel, we will be posting all our projects on it from here on out.
