Hi, I'm Jordan Paree. I'm currently on a mission to be a film director. I've already written the screenplay that'll be used for my first feature, but I need some help in finding out how to put it all together. If anyone can offer some advice, that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

which A-list actor is attached?
There really isn't anyone attached. It's barely gone through the green light phase. I've thought about showing it to a couple of actors that I know personally, but I don't know if that'll be enough.

Would you please clarify who is greenlighting the movie? If the movie is being greenlighted, the financier should be taking a lot of ownership over the process. It's their money on the line.
Greenlight = credit cards ?
You're absolutely correct about that, Regina. Truth be told, no one is green lighting it. I haven't shown it to anyone yet. I should've been more specific. I apologize. I guess what I'm saying is I want to meet someone face to face here in AZ about what I should do. I've gotten a few ideas, but I need someone to help me really get things started. Auditions, casting, crew members, financing, etc.

Jordan serious advice. aim smaller. shoot a short movie and gain experience working with Crew and Talent. A feature film requires you to be mentally & physically ready for 17+hrs work days/nights x 6 days a week x however long your feature schedule breaks down.
Alright, I'll do that. Thanks.
@ Dan MaxXx good advice
I've been on a five-day shoot for a short film. I know what it's like. But I'm definitely taking Dan MaxXx's advice.
my last feature length was 23 days of principal photography. figure 5 pages per day. six locations total.
If you need advice on how to direct your own written film? You are in the wrong business. What do you mean by, "need some help in finding out HOW TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.." What does that even cover, when you say ALL? Start SMALL, like Dan MaxXX said. One, two actors, one location, a smartphone. Action! Upload to YouTube for feedback. Later on take classes on Directing/acting/producing. One step at a time. I would stick to one or two.Good luck.
