Angie, fresh off a week of making an experimental short film, discusses the lessons learned. She and Elizabeth look especially at how some set design lessons apply to setting in fiction, memoir and narrative non-fiction. They also touch on Angie’s collaborative process of creating and shooting the script, as well as operating as a largely one-person crew…with the help of some awesome tweens! And how to build the ideal 3-person crew. The podcast opens with a discussion of revision approaches and distractions, the problems with dictating to your phone, macro v micro, editing v fixing, creating a list of actionable items, and scene lists and their uses and definitions.
