What is an absolute no-no in an application?
The biggest mistake filmmakers make in their application is they give me the history, the need, what equipment they’re using and they do not give me enough story. Start with the story, write three engaging paragraphs and knock me off my seat and then tell me the rest. Some filmmakers say they want to send a message and I tell them that Mr. Warner said, “If you want to send a message go to Western Union.” If you want to make a film, tell me a story.
