No matter how constructive the critique on the test viewings, it conveys “there are things wrong with your movie” and can wear on you if done repeatedly. Tossing in a viewing with someone who is there to just enjoy it instead of nitpick it will do wonders for your self-esteem.
notes for myself after shooting my first feature, Greyscale. I recently wrapped and want to keep the lessons I learned fresh, as well as keep a bit of a scrapbook of pictures and videos from production.
If this helps you out as a new director/filmmaker, wonderful. I learned so much on my first major outing.

Feel free to email and share lessons you've learned on (any) set and I'll work on including the most helpful ones in.

163. During test viewings, occasionally watch the movie with someone who is only there to enjoy it.
