That’s awesome- my daughter Kara is incredibly talented and wants to go into film-making
she has written a script based on “The Russian Sleep Experiment” and it was surprisingly good, and her ideas for filming it were pretty sophisticated.
for example, she realized the the cost of makeup would be huge so she was planning on filming it where you never really see the disfigured experiment subjects, except one climactic scene where the doctors are standing around the patient and as the camera pans around the bed you catch a glimpse of the patients face in between two doctors and the hideous face suddenly glances at the camera... just picturing it gave me the chills
She is only 15 too
Yeah, there are a lot of ways you can cut expenses. For ex., if you don’t have money for a lot of wardrobe for extras, you can film an army of feet and only worry about the cost of shoes.
