Make the best movie you possibly can, but “feeling determined to make a better product” and “giving up hope” are too close together if someone decides they don’t like what you’re doing and you care too much.
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.
