Introducing FilmStack Friday

Because Fridays are for Film

I’m doing FilmStack Friday because I think it has the potential to be a great community builder in conjunction with other awesome FilmStack things (including FilmStack Inspiration Challenge and FilmStack Challenge). I did a super quick precursory search and didn’t find anything, but if I’m stepping on someone’s toes and this is already a thing, please let me know! Also, any ideas or tips are welcome. (I’m thinking of maybe making it a chat, but I’ve never done that before and don’t know how fun/useful it would be…?)

Anyway, I think it would be cool to have a day once a week where we all come together and chat and share and learn and whatever, and what better day for that than Friday? Remember when Friday was a huge day for film? (Apparently, I’m old…)

The plan for right now is to just do FilmStack Friday as a quick note that people can respond to and share if they’d like.

This is today’s FilmStack Friday, which you can find on my Notes: Awesome people of FilmStack, what advice do you have for first time filmmakers? What do you wish you knew?

For people currently making their first films: what are you learning/have you learned that you wish you knew going in?

What advice would you have for someone making their first short?

P.S. For my non-FilmStack people, feel free to join in!! If you feel so moved. They won’t always be so shop based.
