S3 E4 | What Happens on a Film Set: Behind the Scenes Filmmaking Tips

The Break Breakdown: A Podcast from Queens Bird Films

What happens on a film set? The answer is: anything and everything. From managing full company moves between locations, to making sure everyone is fed, to running behind on time, to straying from the script, the energy of a film set can be (at times) overwhelming. Each time you "make your day" can feel like a miracle.

Executive Producer Benjy Shaw joins Courtney today to talk through the big lessons they learned from being on a film set as a small film production company and what makes a good web series. Courtney shares how she made on-the-fly directorial choices when they were running out of daylight. Benjy discusses how to make a film set operational. And they both share their takeaways on what worked, what didn't, and what they'll do differently in their next film production process.

Today's Final Word is from celebrated theatre and film actor Cherry Jones.
