This Is How You Make A Short

Plain and simple. This is how you make a short film.

You don't need anything flashy. You don't need scope. You don't need special effects or even a large budget.

This was shot in a couple days, for virtually nothing. How do you get Kevin Spacey? The person behind the film, somehow sent the script to his talent agency, it fell on his desk, and boom, he was in.

So wait, lets get this straight. All you need is a solid script, talent (in this case an incredible actor), and the knowledge of story structure? Alright, totally doable.

I don't have much meaning behind this - I just think it is a marvelous piece, that is very haunting, yet moving and something that everyone should see. And of course, hopefully appreciate. But, I will say this, at this moment, it is around 360,000 views on youtube - get ready for it to go viral and explode. I almost guarantee the director behind this will get offers on features in the near future. God, the internet is a wonderful thing.

Hopefully soon I can make something like this (I have to order my camera first).

This also cements how amazing Kevin Spacey is too.
