Filmmaking is planning. A LOT of planning. Before you can roll a camera or bring your first crew member on board, there’s an enormous amount of pre-production work that has to happen. For us, that meant creating loglines, one-sheets, and location breakdowns to get a handle on logistics and scope. It’s a lot to manage, and while we’re lucky to have a four-person filmmaking team tackling it from every angle, not everyone has that kind of support system.

That’s where Alex D. Lugo and his platform FilmPro.ai come in. We’re going to sit down with Alex and talk all things film pre-production, and dig into what steps he sees as most important to getting a movie ready before the director yells action.
