How do you prep for a film, from writing to being on set?

My writing process always starts with characters and from there the story takes shape. Once there is a finished story worth telling it’s really a matter of building a good team to help bring the story to life. You are only as good as the people around you, so for me the most important preparation is finding the right cast and crew for the project. Filmmaking is serious work, but it’s also a lot of fun, so I try to set a standard of hard work and enjoyment for the project.

What is the first thing you do when you get a script?
Read it multiple times and try to envision it in a different style with each read-through.

What are a few lessons you’ve learned from your recent project(s)?
Be patient.

What practical tips do you have for indie filmmakers (budgeting, marketing, directing)?

Surround yourself with a good team and remember to have fun.
