I have a plot in, the theme it would circle around, and a climax for it.
What I don't have is the end to end idea of every scene and how to connect and fill the plot, and also no other characters in mind other than the protagonist but that is not an issue cuz it is basically a single character plot (for eg:- Trapped) so that I'll somehow figure out.
BUT how do you start writing on a blank page, anything could be helpful.

My Filmmaking Journey

I hope the information doesn't look like Ai -

It took 30min to type it. 🥲🥲

I’m an Aspiring Film Director, new to Hyderabad, and I’m looking to connect with fellow filmmakers, artists, technicians, and people from the film industry.

📍 Present location - Film nagar, Hyderabad.

Education

I joined the Digital Filmmaking Degree program at Jain University, Bengaluru and completed my first year.

Then… the great ⚠️ Pandemic ruined my degree life 😔

So, I continued my filmmaking education through an online course from the UK.

My Experience

Indie Filmmaking Experience

\\- Directed 2 short films

\\- Edited 4 short films and 1 album song

\\- Worked as a Cinematographer on 5 short films

Film Industry Experience

I have 4 years of experience in the Kannada film industry, working in different departments and roles.

BTS Cameraman --> Assistant Director --> Associate Director --> Assistant Production Manager --> Set Management

I’m grateful to my Guru Garu "VMNR" who has helped and guided me to gain experience in the film industry.

Why am I getting into Tollywood?

\\- For the TFI banisalu

\\- My dream is to work with Etv, It made my childhood enjoyable.

Why now, after 4 years?

\\- Initially, I planned to make a small project to build my profile before trying to enter ETV.

I already had a few contacts with indie filmmakers mostly my classmates from university in Bengaluru.

I started getting back-to-back opportunities in the industry with the support of my friend "Gowtham" and my Guru Garu "VMNR".

I was hungry for knowledge and experience, so I kept working, learning, and gaining experience.

And somehow… 4 years passed.

My Thoughts on the Filmmaking Journey : -

Learning is a never ending process.

Now, I will execute what I have learned.

Then I will learn again.

And I will execute again.

And repeat.

I’m now in Hyderabad and looking forward to meeting filmmakers, writers, directors, cinematographers, editors, actors, producers, and anyone who is passionate about cinema.

If you're also building your profile in Hyderabad, let's collaborate.

hey everyone, i am a final-year BMS student based in mumbai, and i'm looking to explore opportunities in the film industry.

i would love to be in any part of the filmmaking process, especially creative roles that would let me contribute to projects, learn how films are made, and gain experience on sets. i am open to assistant direction, production, creative development, cinematography, ad films, or any other roles where i can learn and contribute.

i have experience in photography from my previous Internship, editing, graphic design, and event coordination, and i'm really keen to learn, meet people in the industry, and get involved in actual projects.

if you're part of a production house, know someone who's hiring interns, or have any leads or advice on getting started, i would really appreciate it.

thanks :)

Hello filmbuffs.

I am planning to make a short film (7 minute length) this month because I have a bigger film to make next year and that's why I need to get experience through this.

I need cast and crew across department for the film.

Whoever has experience, please do let me know, it will be paid generously.

For freshers, we can decide upon our conversation.

Thank you.

Note:- Reposting because someone has requested a chat being a cinematographer who also was into editing but by mistake I declined the chat request and I couldn't get any details of his id.

Hey! I’m putting together a no-budget web series and looking for a DOP who genuinely wants to experiment, explore cinema and create something meaningful.

Not a commercial project, not a paid gig — just a bunch of people trying to make something we’re proud of.

If you’re into visual storytelling, lighting, framing and want to experiment with your style, I’d love to connect.

Delhi / Noida / Gurgaon.
Student filmmakers and people building their portfolio are absolutely welcome.

Drop me a DM with your work/Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/shubham_cin/
Let’s make something.

Hello people :)

We're Apple Box Productions, a group of three friends who share a love for filmmaking. After months of discussing and learning , we've finally completed our very first short film: Lorem Ipsum.

Lorem Ipsum is an absurdist take on society, morality, and ethics. Rather than providing answers, it explores questions through strange situations, unconventional storytelling, and a perspective that we hope leaves room for interpretation and discussion.

What makes this project special to us is that it was made in just one day, with absolutely no budget, shot entirely on a smartphone. Everything was done with whatever resources we had available, driven purely by passion and the desire to create something meaningful.

As first-time filmmakers, we'd genuinely appreciate it if you could give it a watch. If you enjoy it—or even if it sparks a thought or conversation—we'd be grateful if you shared it with friends, fellow film enthusiasts, or anyone who might find it interesting.

We're also eager to hear your honest feedback, whether positive or critical. Every comment helps us learn and improve for future projects.

Thank you for taking the time to support independent filmmakers.

Hey, so I'm 29 years old and I have an idea in my mind about a movie, I'm working on its script. I wanna direct and do the camera works myself as well. The thing is I don't have prior experience or exposure to cinema industry. All I have quite some photoshoot and videography experiences. I'm not boasting but I'm often praised for them. And I'm confident enough that I can do substantially better if I do that full time. But how do I proceed for the movie? It's an indie movie of genre: Drama/Romance/Mystery, and estimated budget should be around 5-7 crores INR, I guess. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!!
