Short Film: NPDFilm is a craft, and it requires constant practice to improve. Because of this, I wrote a screenplay and filmed it on the weekends, using a skeleton crew and very little budget to tell a story I cared about.There was lots of script analysis and re drafting, through which I learnt the importance of a script editor to help get the best version of the screenplay possible in pre-production.
