Need help creating filmmaker sub proposal for the roadmap

I’m looking for ideas to finetune a proposal that I have on the roadmap.
We have a sub for artists in general, we have a sub for writers, we have one for coders but we don’t have one filmmakers. I don’t think any of the existing subs covers filmmaking to satisfaction.
Yes, there is an artistic component but filmmaking is visual artistry.
Yes there are writing components involved but screenwriting is completely different from prose or poetry.

Filmmaking is more than art. If you include casting, putting together and managing a crew, understanding the ever evolving technology, the business and financial intricacies, the leadership and communication skills that you need as a director, filmmaking sits at the intersection of art, business, leadership, commerce and technology.
This would be a sub that could definitely include aspects from Ascension, Inner Circle, Mind’s Eye, PCC, HoM, Renaissance Man, Stark, Ultimate Writer, Mogul, True Sell, Chosen and more. I don’t think you could even build a custom that rivals what an original script could do.
I already have on the roadmap a proposal for Ultimate Filmmaker.
As most marketing platforms are relying more and more on video, a sub like this would be useful not only for filmmakers, but marketers, writers looking to break into the film industry and more.

As an aspiring filmmaker and a marketer, I know what that sub could look like but I want more people to contribute ideas that could make this a solid proposal for the roadmap.
So if you have any interest in filmmaking please feel free to contribute.

Note: if you know nothing about filmmaking or have no interest in the field, please stay away from this thread as I’m really NOT looking for ideas that would turn this proposal into a kitchen sink proposal.

@SaintSovereign + @Fire + @AnswerGroup, I hope your eyes see this.

Just gave you a vote since I also would love to see a title like this. I’m running a RM/UWX custom as an alternative.

It would definitely need its version of the automatic RAIKOK module so you could learn from your favorite filmmakers and ultimately surpass their teaching.

The term filmmaker is so broad though. It would be too dense to include every single position. Writer/Director would be the main focus if it were up to me.

It would definitely need confidence, leadership, charisma, productivity, zest for life, unique voice and style.

Manifest the perfect collaborators for your project. Agent, Studio, Actors, crew, etc.

Manifest a fun and stress free production.

Manifest awards, critical and audience acclaim.

Things like fame and money might be tricky since there are blockbuster filmmakers and independent filmmakers. Filmmakers who love the attention and prefer privacy. Maybe a choice is yours, consciously guided option would work.

That’s my two cents for now. Hope this gets made.

I think you definitely need inspirational and creative leadership of Stark/ Chosen, works way better in my experience. The aggression works best when your team lacks dedication, commitment or discipline. This should also be backed by a great vision of how the scene should be, perhaps some elements of Mind’s eye here.

I think you also need limitless and Wanted’s human complexity and depth of emotion scripting to understand the complexity of a character and understand abstract and philosophical/deeper things going on behind the script.

Innovative ways of bringing out the character of actors. Bring out the genius within actors.

Intuitively understand and manifest music for intended scene. Similar with lighting and effects.

Note- I will keep adding as something comes to my mind

I would recommend UWX, UPX, and Executive. Short movies and photography was part of my hobbies.

I got that influence from my aunties who would took pictures from occasions and make out memorable stories from them. I learned that you have to dance with the emotion - you have to run the movie in your mind before doing the filming itself.

Is your film making refers to using tools to create or make it?

I use Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve for editing. I’m an over clocker enthusiast which helps me builds up my own editing rig.
