Feeling stuck? Here’s how to escape a creative block and jumpstart your next project. Indie filmmakers don’t gatekeep—so let’s dive in: 🎭 Assign prototype actors to your characters – Imagine specific actors playing your roles. It helps clarify tone, dynamics, and dialogue. 🎞️ Create comp decks of similar movies – Build a reference deck of films with a similar vibe or visual style. It’s a game-changer for setting the mood and pitching to your team. 🎵 Make playlists for each project – A curated playlist helps you dive into the headspace of your story. Music = emotional mood board. 🎨 Build out the visual world – Sketch, storyboard, or pull references from @shotdeck to design your project’s unique look and feel. 🎬 Filmmaking is hard, but finding inspiration shouldn’t be.

It’s honestly surprising I haven’t seen a post like this before But I’ll be the first to tell you And you’re going to be so surprised you didn’t think of it sooner The answer is simple! If you want to connect with local talent… take an acting class! Or spend sometime doing community theatre That way you build a report with actors and you can see who you work well with BEFORE you get on set Several of my first films were cast purely by friends in my acting class If you’re ready to build your creative community and make your next film, comment GUIDE and I’ll send you a link to my free guide!
