Most indie films don't fail in production. They fail because the scope was wrong before anyone called action.
In Episode 2, I'm breaking down the scope decision — the producing question most filmmakers skip entirely. I'll tell you exactly what went wrong on a LoveMyRoomie party scene I shot during Pride weekend in Manhattan, what I did differently on Don't Be Desperate, and the two questions you need to answer before you lock your production plan.
This episode covers:→ Why scope is a capacity question, not just a budget question→ The LoveMyRoomie Pride weekend story — what happens when people power doesn't match the vision→ Why paying everyone on Don't Be Desperate changed how the whole project ran→ The four factors that determine capacity: Time, People, Energy, and Money→ How to identify your production's three most complex elements — and what to do if you don't have the infrastructure to handle them
