Good to know

Concept film questions

What should I bring?+
A single premise is enough. Tone, references, audience, and length are helpful but optional.
How long should the result be?+
The source workflow recommends keeping a concept film to three minutes or less so the central idea stays focused.
Does it keep planning artifacts?+
Yes. The workflow retains three core artifacts so the concept, screenplay, and production decisions can be reviewed.
