Great exercise! I'm always quite anxious when I try developing a short story, trying to over-perfect in my head with zero results. This really helped me sticking to the point.

💡 Why It Works

The biggest obstacle for most filmmakers? Themselves.

We overthink. We aim too big. We stall out before we even start.

This 10-minute exercise was designed to get you out of your head and onto the page. It helps you loosen up, get playful, and stop judging your ideas before they even exist.

You’ll be shocked how quickly your creative instincts kick in when you stop trying to write something “good” — and just start writing something.

And as a plus – it’ll show you that writing can actually be fun.

✉️ What Happens Next?

Once you’ve completed the challenge, you’ll get a couple follow-up lessons from me — short, practical tips to help you keep writing and turn this spark into a real short film idea.

And if you’re interested in going deeper, I’ll show you how to get access to the full Instant Short Film Blueprint — a proven mini-course for writing shootable short films on a budget. 

No pressure, no spam. Just helpful next steps if you want them.

✅ Ideal For:

Creators who overthink or chase “perfect” ideas that never get written

Aspiring short film writers who can’t get past the blank page

Filmmakers who want a repeatable, no-budget story process

Happy to say it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, coming from someone who always has difficulty writing stories. Great first exercise!
