I have been asked to create a short film for a London film festival competition. This will help improve my technical, communication, and time management skills. I will spend 2-3 weeks researching and developing ideas and 4 weeks in production. Entering the competition could lead to career opportunities if a film scout sees my work and offers me a job. Managing my own short film project will increase my skills in organizing a production.
