Would Greatly Appreciate Your Vote for the Short Film I Should Write and Make [View all]
I'm attending a writing program that starts on Wednesday night and runs for 6 sessions. Everyone will write a short film, about 5 to 15-minutes long. I want to make the most of it so I have generated some idea for films that I could not only write but film. These are the short logline versions of the ideas I have. I am fascinated recently with class-conscious films like "The Mastermind" and "Parasite" so there are a couple of those here.
If you were attending a film festival and could only see one of these, which would it be?
