I wonder Colby, what do you count as a draft? Usually the version I get to by the end of the first go isn’t even nearly ready to go out - would you still call that a first draft? Or is that something even before that

Spend a couple of years shooting shorts. Teach yourself all disciplines of the filmmaking process. Go shoot a feature. And use that to move into raising money fur future films.

My first feature that I finished last year r, that I'm releasing next month, was shot without a crew, and cost $4k.

Well, you buy camera gear and start making short films. Until you think you've learned enough, and then you make a feature
