About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.

Organizing a film with actors is my biggest issue. Organizing the money part is the part I have trouble with.
Would love to see some more videos related to editing! Just watched the Netflix 3 month video. Super intriguing as I am trying to grow as an editor. Great content though!
This was absolutely incredible. I’m planning on transitioning out of the military and I’ve always had a love for film making. Your explanation is an incredible blend of information with a sprinkle of comedy which makes it less intimidating as i currently think it would be to get started. Thanks and I’m looking forward to all of your future videos! If you ever need some free help hmu 😂
How's it going 4 months later mate
You are doing such a tremendous job helping us all out. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to them all the time. Looking to shoot my own film in August. I appreciate all of your content and advice.
Thanks mate 👍🏻 I’m a one man band (including the talent) at the beginning of my filmmaking journey. I appreciate your structure and tips, I’ve now subscribed to your website & this channel. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺 👍🏻
Whoa, this video is so informative and motivational. For the longest, I’ve been wanting to shoot a short that I wrote a couple of years ago, but I’ve been putting it off for dumb reasons. 😅 This definitely makes me want to get up off my ass and do it. Thanks for sharing your experiences and resources. Cheers! 🙌🏾
This is exactly the type of 'script to screen' content I love to see. Thanks!
You are a legend, hay off to you for putting all this info out in the open for us newbies!
thanks for putting this together! found it pretty very useful and coincidentally watched it right after watching Last Laugh Inc.
Yes we would love to watch more editing videos like this
Love your channel! Thank you so much for making your production binder available.
Your videos are becoming just as much entertaining as they are informative. Some of these are really starting to make me laugh!
Another great video and thanks for the spreadsheet. It will come in very useful as I am working on my first short film. Nervous and excited at the same time!
Great video. Clear, concise and helpful. Going to watch the movie now.
I think I'm addicted to your videos at this point.. I can't stop watching..
Great informative video, please keep producing these videos and talk more about getting into video production in details !!
Great video! Learned a lot on how to prep for a short film!!!
Just found this channel and loving it! Thank you for the worksheet!
Please upload more. You're so fun to watch
Omfg yes!! I can’t wait to use this to start!! Thank you so much!! ❤
Thanks Kent for sharing all this knowledge !
I almost shit my pant at 6:39, the sound was really behind me and I tought someone got in my house lmao
This is my new favorite UA-cam channel!
Thanks for sharing this .. really learned a ton!
Thanks Kent. One of the toughest things to do or create paperwork. Shout to Toni and the Guys
Just found your channel and this content is so beautiful. Going to use it to change my life around thanks!
Ditto Ditto Ditto
Underrated channel!!!!
'as long as the film turns out good' - haha love it
Another great video. Thanks
I saw the short on Reddit and didn't know it was you. It was a great short, honestly super funny
Bro i love your humor and style! 🤣
This was very good, very concise, and very informative. Good Job!
Going to watch your short film right now.
Fantastic. Thank you.
Fantastic movie and fantastic script!
Very interesting stuff, I don't see myself as a movie creator, just a YT video making guy (apparently I'm one of few that think so lol); but tbh I watched a handful of your videos here but I guess this one was the last straw, you know the one, and I am compelled to subscribe. Your persona, with that glib, 'you know I'm right, and if you don't know that, just trust me it's good advice' confidence. So I tossed in my Artlist sign-up too, I'll take the mutual 2 month bonus. For a couple of weeks I've been waffling about Artlist or staying with Epidemic - something quirky happened there though, but that's another story ;-) thanks for the great teaching vids
Awesome Breakdown and you talk numbers and insurance. Thanks.
"The answer is yes, as long as the film turns out good."
Love your content man. I’m making a film here in Japan and I’m going through this exact process. Thanks for the tips.
do u live in japan?
yes@@andrearamirez-martinez7376
Great stuff, thanks.
Interesting videos, could you kindly do something on packaging your trailer or short? Like DCP or getting a reel (analogue film, if this is still is necessary)
Thanks
WOW!! Respect!!
Another great video! I also really enjoyed your short. My team is doing our second 48 hour film project this Saturday in San Diego! I would love to have you for some pro bono work :D but I of course I would feed you in accordance with the short film 11 commandments.
well organized ideas
Excellent ❤️
Super helpful ❤
Great stuff thanks for this!
awesome video!
Last Laugh Inc. is awesome! hahaha
"The answer is, yes, as long as the film turns out good".....and that's when I spit my coffee out.
This is a really awesome video. When you did the insurance part, did you have to get insurance for each crew member and actor? Or could you ensure the production overall. Thank you
Thhhaaannnnkkk Yooouuuuu!!! Great Channel!!!
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the great tips. Everyone I know is making short films - mostly just to keep busy and have some fun. So much effort goes into the films and then they post it on SM or Show it at shorts night @ coffee houses, maybe enter it into a few festivals, and of course - if it turns out good, everyone uses it on their reels. What is your motivation for making shorts?
BTW - Last Laugh Inc was awesome
Thanks! My motivation for a short varies case by case. For Will "The Machine", I wanted to prove I could handle a larger/more professional production, network and learn on its film festival run, and potentially get some interest in the feature version of it. For Last Laugh Inc. it was mainly for fun, but I also wrote a comedy feature recently, so I wanted to test/develop my comedy skills.
You ARE so 👍!!
There it is, the missing chapter in the filmmaking books
Kent, good job dude, way to hustle to establish yourself. I can dig it. I write feature length scripts. Can we network? Send me the templates for my new short. I checked out similar ones before. Keep on keeping on brother.
idea was great btw. 1st you need to make a Clear picture that's *_Pro Camera_*
wesome video. I just subbed you
Loving Tom Cruise's email address, cant wait for him to see my script for Fishin' Impossible
Any recommendations on finding actors to begin with?
You are fucking genius ❤❤
hey, new to discovering you. if you have a video that can point me in the right direction, please let me know but I am curious. for a short film idea, can you take a pivotal scene (around 5 minutes) and shoot that and if it does good use it to raise money for a feature or should you completely move on to a new project/story. I have 3 short film ideas that are essentially a piece of a bigger puzzle. I have no experience, no camera, but trying to make connections with groups on FB with no luck so far...so I guess on top of that, how do I make connections with other filmmakers with no experience?
Out of the $1850 how much did you spend on your crew? Did they work for free? I'm starting out have my own film equipment and basic lights, but I've been told beginners need budgets of up to 10K to pay for crew and actors because they can cost several $100s per day. And your other videos talk about acceptable rates for the types of jobs push near $1000. How'd you manage a professional crew with that budget amount?
Is there a particular way (camera settings) you should film footage for it to be colour gradable? I see the footage was quite washed out.
As for camera settings, shooting in log or RAW gives the most flexibility when it comes to color. Quite a bit of film color comes down to everything OUTSIDE the camera though. Set design, lighting, and wardrobe have bigger roles to play in the way a film looks than camera settings or color correction.
I really should have done this for my last few films… 😅 they turned out okay for the poor planning. They’re on my channel if anyone wants to see a train wreck.
Guess what, am a film producer and you're my mentor
damn our film inst. diploma would be made at that cost
would you or anyone be able to tell me more about the curtains on the windows at 9:14? I get the point, I'm asking for a little more detail here. what is the name of it, what does "specifically" do. and when would you want to use them vice nd filters or other options, etc. thanks in advanced.
Those were just practical window curtains I bought from Amazon to darken the windows so they wouldn't be too blown out in the background. You could apply ND gels over the windows to do the same thing if curtains weren't going to make sense for the location, basically the same thing as a window tint on a car. Or you could use a bunch of lights inside to brighten up the interior and get it closer to the brightness outside, then lower the exposure in the camera to make the windows not appear so bright. I didn't have much in the way of lighting, so the curtains were by far the easiest/cheapest option.
I watched last laugh inc....... Nice(=5*****)
Signed up for the template but can't see it in my inbox
the production link did not send google files. Please help.
Hey if you ever need a makeup artist again, ik my sister is great at it!
Gosh all this is great but it seems overwhelming. Making a short is pretty darn complicated
I wanna ask that you have spent 1850 dollars on the project... did you get any money in return so as to compensate the over expense in some way?
Victor here I am from India,Manipur.I have been writing some short movies about a year but the thing is in our state their is poor cinema industry, many talented people I know got broke because poor industry,poor editing , poor shooting skills. can you please help us out how and who to contact with, actually we are tribes of indian, Bollywood style isn't working here so we tried writing different stories
Is the planning template free? I went to download it but I have to put in my email for a subscription. Can someone just confirm that it is or isn’t?
100% free 🙂
Is anyone else struggling to get the binder? I've subscribed several times with different email but am not getting the email with the binder.
Hmm check your spam and if it’s not there email me at standardstoryco@gmail.com and I’ll get it to you
cant recive the mail for document, can you help me ?
Hmm email standardstoryco@gmail.com and I'll sort it
Where is the template????? The link????
Check the description!
I would like the contact information for your colorist
I have one big critic: The set design was non existent. You could have used clown photos and paintings on the walls, and they would have also helped with the audio (less echo). But I assume the landlord wouldn't allow you to...you could have used Blue Tack and simple paper posters.
Hi, I love watching your videos! I have always wanted to start making my own movies and series but I don't have the Money to Do so, do you have any suggestions? so I can pursue my dreams (2+ year dream) I'm very young (13y/o) and it Has always been my dream to be a director. so if you could shoot me a message back and answer my question it would Be helpful.
Q: So... do you make your money back somehow?

Buying items just to return them the next day. I think it’s unethical and not cool.
Your short films like others. You gain subscribers for telling people the base. But your short films are typical American ….
None of my appreciation to you
Hi! I clicked on the link to get the Film Production Binder and put my email in it, but I got nothing. If you could send this to me I would be very grateful. Thanks.
Hmm check your spam but if it’s not there email standardstoryco@gmail.com and I’ll get it to you
