MOONSTRUCK Behind the Scenes Part 1: Pre-Production

Begin your deep-dive into the world of low-budget filmmaking with the Telekinesis team as they plan how they're going to make 1/10 of a feature length movie, with 1/100 of the budget.

Writer/Director Alan Seawright, Director of Photography Paul McKay Taylor and others walk you through what you need to do to actually plan for and get something like this off the ground. Which is, no matter how much you think it is, more than you'd think.

Also, learn how it's Sound Mixer Jess Parks' fault that Alan now has ideas for not just one feature length movie, but a whole trilogy.
