Dear filmmakers,
I am excited to start working on my project. But since it will be my first major project, I need some guidance.
My documentary film will be about drug addiction. It would include personal stories of the addicts and also interviews with doctors and other people related to the topic.
What things should I do first to make sure that I won't waste too much time on something that could have been done earlier in the process?
Should I first contact possible film characters or should I write a detailed documentary script before I do so?
I am also thinking of filming a pilot for it, before doing the full-length documentary.
I would really appreciate if you give me some tips.
