I’m getting ready to shoot an Indie film about a newspaper reporter in a tsunami, and some of the concerns I’ve had were addressed in the article. The film is probably going to be someone up to an hour long, maybe a bit more. Not sure … still working on the script. But definitely useful stuff there.

For micro and no (as in nothing) budgets, the cast and crew have to be fed and either the director (or in my case) the director’s wife who is also the producer and makeup artist, – confused? – loves to put on a spread made from not much at all and turns it into a feast. A well feed crew is a happy crew indeed.

I am that type of director that is diligent, focused and I constantly study my craft of visual concepts and storytelling do it drives me up a wall to see directors that embody most of the ‘wrong things to do’ on your list. I’m glad someone finally said it. And I agree that twitter and Facebook are truly a necessity as an indie director. I actually incorporated my own production studio because I didn’t like to say ‘check my new short film’ I can now say ‘check out our new short film or check put the new short film by IvyCreek Studios’ it makes the crew feel more apart of the overall film as opposed to feeling like the just helpede make my film. It really makes a difference.

Its also a great traight for a producer to know what to look for in a crew and have a great sense of what it takes. Well put together post, I will now be checking this blog frequently.

Indie film is such a different beast. Some of my worst experiences have been with folks who’ve worked on big budget films.

The only thing I’d add to the list would be… it’s good to know a little about every job on the set, but don’t get pulled into actually doing them.

I directed a micro-budget feature film in 2008 and have since produced two more micro-budget films. And when I say Micro-Budget, I’m talking less than $7,000 for my film and less than $500 for the other two films. One of the films I produced had its World Premiere at the 2010 Seattle International Film Festival. I have many a story I can tell you from these productions that confirm what you wrote. Trust me, I’m not the greatest director – but I learned to treat people right. On the latest micro-budget film we’d have the cast meet at my house in the morning of the shoot and feed them a huge breakfast. It started the day out right, everyone enjoyed themselves, and we had the fuel to take us through the 5 or 6 hour shoot. And that’s just one story….

No egos on our sets or you’re politely requested to leave, and those who are hired are expected to be prepared and flexible.

Adapting to changing situations and unavoidable circumstances are a big part of indie filmmaking. Not being able to work with the team that is working hard and against so many odds will not a good indie director make.
