Coming Clean

We have now officially finished the March 2024 Action On The Side one-month filmmaking project: the crime horror thriller Coming Clean

This is the first time I have run the Action On The Side one-month filmmaking project since March 2020 – right as the first lockdown started.

Each time we run the project, I always try to improve something – in the project, in our filmmaking technique. The improvements I implemented this time were:

• The legal paperwork was all signed digitally using Adobe Sign, in advance of the project;
• The legal paperwork now has a GDPR section;
• I provided the full budget to participants so we could all work together to deliver the project in under budget;
• Instead of the film only going online, we have a festival strategy and have already submitted to some festivals;
• We sold tickets to the screening for koha (donation), with funds raised going to the film festival submission fund;
• We have additional meetings during the post production process to look at sound delivery and process;
• we have a deliverables document, focusing on how to deliver to SVOD and what graphics are needed;
• we have used Wix groups instead of Facebook groups;
• I have a roller banner now;
• We have the film listed on Letterboxd.

Please enjoy the film
