It doesn't just have to be movies!

Hey writers!

Feeling creative but you have little to no money? Do you have a great short film idea but can't find a camera crew or costumes or actors who can't give you more than a couple hours?

What about audio only projects? Turn your short film into an audioplay.

Here's an example:

Wish Audioplay

If you have a good microphone and some kind of audio editor, you could produce that script for next to nothing. Most actors wouldn't mind an hour of free work to get to know you for future projects. And, who knows, maybe you could even get some exposure for a PG or better script by convincing a college radio station or a small local one to put your finished product on the air. As long as you have some original music and are good creating and editing foley sound effects, you could have something to show off your writing for very little money.

Another possible use for this is to hand it out to potential investors as one way to convince them to invest in that same script as a short film. With your brilliant words flying off the page and into their ears, they could visualize your script much more easily. (A lot of investors don't like reading scripts, believe it or not. So skip that step and give them something they can play in the car on the way home from your meeting.)

Just another option to mull over ...
