Did you use to shoot movies as a kid?
If yes, you probably didnāt care if the sound, the acting, or the light wasnāt great. Or maybe you did (I did), but you filmed it anyway.
How about you use the same philosophy today? I know itās easier said than done. But think of ways you could pull this off. Maybe you can write a low-budget script (keep it short and one location only) and ask people in Filmmaking groups on Facebook if theyāre interested in helping out.
Youād be surprised. Many other filmmakers (directors, actors) also need a portfolio - and your script might be a great opportunity for them.
For example, I met two amazing people on Stage 32, and weāre working on a short film (with $0). Collaboration can be a great way to advance your career.
Another cool solution might be creating a podcast. Many podcasts have been noticed by major studios and turned into TV shows.
