  • Experiencing problems and learning to deal with them as the role   requires.
  • Giving your best efforts and the opportunities this leads to.
  • Having more than one project in the pipeline.
  • Creating a proof of concept short film (POC).
  • Keeping cast and crew in good spirits when there’s a low budget.
  • Learning to work around the budget and finding other routes to get the best out of your project.
  • The importance of catering on-set.
  • Understanding how films grants may or may not be beneficial to your project.
  • The difficulty of securing finance for your film and the element of luck.
