Q: Me and my friend wrote a short film but have no idea how to execute it. We don't have a lot of money to hire actors and such and we can barely afford props but we need to succeed at this film. It is the one thing I'm good at and I can't fail. I am very proud of the script and would really really enjoy doing this.
A: you are going to have to comprimise. really stretch the limits of what you can act out yourself. then, of all the elements that you feel you "can't" provide yourself, narrow it down to like the most important thing that's missing, and then stretch your available contacts to the limit to find *something* or *someone*. make little comprimises here and there, from re-writes to re-casting, comprimise a little bit everywhere and you will get it done. filmmaking is insane, it requires a small country to do it "right" but there's only one path to get there and it's comprimise. even the big league films make comprimises (for example the viewer is not actually in the film)
