I wasn't sure where to put this, so if you think I've made a mistake let me know.
At the moment, I lack the resources to put out a full length feature film. However, I do have the resources to put out shorts for next to no money. A while ago, I saw Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes. This film is a series of unrelated short films that follow some thematic ties. It struck me that doing a feature this way would help to break down the workload, and let me focus on a better end product. A feature might be too much to bite off, but I'm perfectly confident with making, say, a short per month.
These shorts would be self contained. You could watch them perfectly fine on their own. However, when assembled into a whole, new meaning would be added by the links between the individual components. I'm not interested in going the structure-less route of Coffee and Cigarettes, though, so I'd like the components to be assembled into some sort of (perhaps untraditional) fragmented, overarching narrative.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Do you think it would work well, or is it destined to be some sort of epic fail? Thanks!
