The document provides details on the production plan for a short film. It will be released in fall 2020 to coincide with major blockbusters. The budget is around £100 to cover travel, costumes, food, and camera lenses. The film will have 3 main characters played by Joe Maniz, Zach Lillis, and Ollie Magor, with some minors requiring permission slips. The filmmaker will handle most roles himself. Contingency actors are also listed. The equipment list details the camera, tripod, SD cards, computer, headphones, lights, and software that will be used. Legal and ethical considerations regarding ownership, ratings, and online distribution are also discussed. Feedback was to add a plot twist
