I drove across Atlanta for coffee with a stranger. What we talked about told me everything about where indie film is actually headed - and why your film needs to exist right now.
Great post. Love that you met up in person! In-person experiences are gold. And it’s so true that we don’t talk enough about what it’s like to live life while making a feature. I’ll address this in my next “how my movie shoot is going” post.
Thanks for reading! I love what you’re doing with your notes and giving us the tea on what the day to day is like. I journaled last year everyday I was on set during my film shoot and I’m going to repurpose the entries into substack articles documenting each days struggles and lessons. I learn so much on each new set and I’m hoping it can be helpful to other NonDē filmmakers out there.
You know that’s right 🤪 so much drama. We had the police called on us and people yelling at us on several occasions as well as shooting down our locations. Oh goodness it was so much.
I am *obsessed* with this.
It’s all because you decided to take down names and make a list! Thank YOU 🙏🏻
You soo captured the essence of this thing.
Thank you! It feels pretty special to be present and a part of such an amazing movement in the art of storytelling.

Thank you, Shawna, and hell yeah, you should serialize those notes! Every shoot is full of lessons (and drama, even if you react professionally!).

Oh, wow! I wanna hear more! Share those notes, girl!
