Zainab Jah

Planning on shooting my first short, written and to be directed by yours truly. Looking for guidance and insights from experienced film makers.

Maurice Vaughan

Nice to meet you, Zainab Jah. What genre is your first short film? You can read the Stage 32 blogs to learn tips and insight about filmmaking and directing. You can check the filmmaking/directing and producing lounges also.

Zainab Jah

I would describe it as a mystery-thriller.

Maurice Vaughan

I write those genres. More Thriller than Mystery. I don't know much about directing, but if I can help with screenwriting advice or feedback, let me know.

Martin Reese

Nice to meet you Zainab Jah. Short films are a great way to do proof of concept.

Zainab Jah

Yes. I initially started working on this short as a feature but I now realize it works better as a short, and a great way to cut my teeth behind the camera. It's usually the other way around.
