Have you ever dreamed of making your own feature film but felt overwhelmed by the time, budget, or experience required? I get it — and in this video, I’m sharing how I made my first feature film at 23 with just $3,805, a small team of friends, and a whole lot of determination.
🎬 What you’ll learn:
How I wrote, cast, and filmed a feature in just over a month.
The budget breakdown and how I kept costs low.
The biggest challenges I faced (and how I overcame them).
Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker or just curious about the process, I hope my experience can inspire you to start your own project — no matter your budget.
