Ok, so I'm fairly new to screenwriting, and I guess this post is about filmmaking in general.
I attend film classes at a community college, own a DSLR, and decent equipment. I have ok editing skills, one of the best in my class along with my color grading skills and so on.
I have 6 people wanting to collaborate with me on our next project, but they all want to make the best most amazing new film, and they all want the credit. It's like a tug of war, literally where there's like a circle and 6 strands or rope come out from the middle and I'm the middle.
I feel that I'm being taken advantage of, because of my skills. I'm not saying that I am be all end all the best, it's just that these guys are younger then me, and I find them to be somewhat immature.
Because mainly they want to be the one to write the story, do their thing... if you know what I mean.
This happened last time, I ended up shooting my friends screenplay, because we didn't have time for mine.
We ended up with a good looking film (with some camera angle errors, and some audio) but overall ok for our first short; except for the story..
Does anyone have any good ideas to what I should do? Because I love working with people.
We're supposed to start making another short, 5 minutes, either documentary or a narrative. I'm having a hard hard time coming up with something cool.
