Hello friends, welcome back to The IMPROVE Podcast!

This is episode seven in a recurring series on the podcast where we catch up with Elijah who is a student studying film in Italy and is producing his first short film. After having connected on Reddit’s r/screenwriting almost a year ago, I wrote his short film and together we are capturing that experience as it happens, giving insight into a niche of the filmmaking genera, that almost every writer, director, and filmmaker has had to do – creating their first film.

In this episode, Elijah and I recap the last few weeks of post-production. We cover editing, post production and lessons learned to be applied for pre-production!

I hope you enjoy!
