Short Film Starter Pack Information

Short Film Starter Pack by Kevin Waczek is designed to help filmmakers navigate the complexities of producing a short film from start to finish.

I’m handing over everything you need to run a pro-level film production

Most short films never make it to the finish line.

You get a great idea and the sparks fly!

The passion, the energy, the rush of creating something new and fantastic.

You get a group of actors together.

Put them in front of a camera and hit record.

But then the unforeseen happens.

Production STOPS because this is MUCH harder than you thought it would be.

You want to finish but you’re spinning your wheels trying to rewrite the script, organize the cast, find crew members, lock in locations and rent equipment all while juggling your day job and everyday life.

And even if you did manage to film everything you needed, you failed to complete the business side of filmmaking so that you have the proper rights to actually premiere your film at festivals!

Where did you go wrong?

When did filmmaking STOP BEING FUN?

The fun ends when your creativity is halted by the real world…

…planning and execution.

And like an animal in black tar, your film sinks. Until it’s completely forgotten.

I get it… making a film from square one is HARD.

If you don’t have the right tools it’s nearly impossible.

Your film will be left:

• half written
• half shot
• or sitting on a hard drive in the back of your room…

COLLECTING DUST!

This is a filmmakers biggest tragedy.

To never get the oppertunity to influence your friends, family and the world.

Don’t let your film die and be buried in the CINEMA CEMETERY!

I’ve been in your shoes before with my short film Lockdown.

Where reshoots, scheduling conflicts, work and life continuously delayed the release date for over two years.

Through the process I’ve created the ELIXER OF LIFE for dying film productions that prevents me from missing my short film deadline ever again.

But before I dive into that, allow me to introduce myself.

What You’ll Learn In Short Film Starter Pack?

• Three ways to protect your film and avoid a lawsuit. Property Release and Liability Release to lock in locations. And the “image and likeness” Personal Release for every actor on screen.
• Control the cash flow with a Production Budget Template to always know where the money is going. A Petty Cash Expense Record and an Independent Contractor Contract so you’re on the same page financially with your crew.
• Transform script pages into an on screen story with the Script Breakdown.
• Visualize your scenes with the Storyboard Template and execute each shot on time and on budget with the Shot List and Production Schedule.
• Stay on track with the Scene Completion Chart. So you know what’s done and what still needs work.
• Spearhead each shoot date with the Call Sheet Template to give your cast and crew everything they need to be successful.
• Be confident in choosing the right actors with the Casting Sheet.
• Valuable On-Set Production Reports for the camera department, audio department and the editor to make the post production process faster.
• Many more resources including a Lighting Diagram Template, Property and Location Logs, and a post production Audio Spotting Sheet.
