The Movie You Can Make Right Now
Filmmaking is a journey of trust, relationships, and skill. The movie you’re capable of making today reflects where you are on that journey. If raising a million dollars for your dream project feels impossible, it’s not because your idea isn’t great—it’s because you haven’t yet built the trust, skills, and relationships needed to handle a project of that scale. And that’s okay. The key is to scale back. It’s a one-to-one ratio: if you can’t raise a million dollars, it’s a sign that you should focus on a project you can make with the resources and support you already have. Here’s the hard truth: if you brute force your way into raising more money than you can handle, chances are, you’ll blow it. You’ll face challenges you’re not equipped for—like managing a large crew or navigating a significant budget—and the risk of failure skyrockets. Instead, mitigate risk by taking a bite you’re equipped to eat. Create something with the resources, trust, and skills you have right now. That’s how you build momentum. With each project, you gain more experience, strengthen relationships, and earn trust. That’s how you work your way up to making the million-dollar film—one step at a time. So, what’s the movie you can make today? Start there, and the rest will follow. 🎬 Ready to make your movie but need a little guidance?
