/02 The problem
I have the story. I have the vision. I just can't afford the crew, the equipment, or the two-month production window to prove it.

“I submitted to three festivals this year. All three accepted my proof-of-concept. I produced it entirely in AutoCastStudio over a weekend.”

"Director mode changed how I think about pre-production. I can run 4 passes on a scene before ever touching real equipment."

PN
