Things I’ve Learned as a Moviemaker

Published by
Tim Molloy

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
