Start with a theme and develop a 10 - 12 page script around it. Make sure it's a whole story (beginning, middle & end). Just doing it is the best resource you will come across. An example: Overcoming grief to move on with life - a mother loses her only child to school shooting; how does she move on with her life?...Just an idea; but you get the point.

For shorts I try to get a single idea across to the audience. You don’t have enough space for much else. So pick a idea like “power makes people bad” and explore that.
I would practice writing stuff that can be done super low budget. Then you can do them yourself. I learnt more behind the camera than behind the keyboard.
Hi everyone, I'm a filmmaker and photographer based out of Charlotte, NC. Been wanting to make films since I was very young. Took a "hiatus" from it since 2011, but eager to get back on to doing this as much as I can. Still learning and growing every day!
