YES, I will use this strategy, in fact the gears are already turning...
My 3 biggest roadblocks will be:
1] - streamlining an idea to fit into the Zero budget world, It's easy for me to let ideas become too big.
2] - It will be a challenge for em to write a script with minimal dialog, coming from a filmmaker world of scripted narrative, I will need to really let go to not have all the dialog on the page.
3] - overcoming the perfectionist voice in my head that wants to spend too much time lighting the scene, or rehearsing the camera moves, etc.
