Rebecca Fry has a production schedule for creating a film opening over several weeks in November and December. The schedule includes pre-production tasks like research, script writing, storyboarding, location scouting, and casting. Production will take place in January with filming over two days at different locations. Post-production such as editing and adding music will occur in January. Screenings for feedback will be held at the end of January, and Rebecca will spend February evaluating the film opening based on this feedback.
