Filmmaking / Directing : 12 Mistakes Commonly Made on Independent Film Productions by Lucy Macedo

Great post, Lucy. Thanks for sharing.

its a good post but I do not agree with number 7 about references for example I have worked with people who are just out of school who are passionate about making films but lack experience just like myself and they worked better then some people I know who have 4 to 6 years experience behind them on way larger sets same goes for when I'm casting actors I make it a mission to find up and comers who may or may not have experience behind them but are in most cases I have encountered better suited for the roles I am casting ... I now have working relationships with a bunch of guys who are up and coming no references behind them who trained with me in college or were part of another local college and we all have each others backs we help each other out and because we are all on the same level professionally there tends to be less egotism and demands then on other sets I have been on but that is just my opinion and personal story

Nice post, Sean. Appreciate you sharing. Definitely something to think about.
