One thing prospective filmmakers are constantly asking, is “What are the filmmaking bare essentials?” And it’s a good question.
Entering the film industry can be a daunting experience. You love film, but don’t have a clue about running a business. You need a camera but you don’t have any money… And unless you have generous family members, you’re going to struggle just getting out of the starting blocks.
