ABSTRACT

Chapter 3 sheds light on how to develop your project by engaging in research and developing relationships with people who might have more insight into your chosen topic. The key is to maintain a sense of curiosity and openness to the various approaches to filmmaking and development processes. We encourage you to ponder the bigger questions, such as “What motivates you to tell this story?” and “Are you the ideal candidate to produce this film?” This chapter delves into these questions and more, provides valuable guidance to aid you in refining the details of your topic, perspective, and ethical considerations during the early stages of creation.
