Things I’ve Learned as a Moviemaker

by Larry Meistrich | Published February 3, 2007

Always have a plan before you jump into a project.

This is a business, not a hobby.

Develop a thick skin and learn to be tenacious.

Often the path to success leads through unlikely sources, so surround yourself with good editors, DPs, sound men and great development executives.

Prep, prep and more prep

Don’t make a trailer of a feature, make a narrative short
