By Marina Bruno
My name’s Marina Bruno and I’m an independent female filmmaker! I’ve made 9 official short films and wrote, directed, produced, filmed and edited my first feature film when I was 19 years old! I now also have a separate YouTube vlogging channel where I do weekly vlogs and videos about, well, anything really!
So what does a day in the life of a filmmaker like myself consist of? Well, once thing that is a MUST to start of everyday is with a nice steaming hot cup of coffee. That’s right! I cannot function without my lovely coffee. After the coffee I usually check emails, see what’s going on in Facebook land, check more emails, go for a run, come back, drink more coffee, answer more emails, then listen to some music and daydream. That’s how I brainstorm my creative projects! I literally bounce on my exercise ball and blast my favorite tunes while staring at my wall like a crazy person. But hey, that’s the best way to clear my mind and just daydream ideas and thoughts!
Those are a few of the simple, every day rituals that I need to complete, but when I’m working on a project or film, the days tend to get a little busier. I’ll do some writing – whether it be a script, blog, or speech. If I’m working on a film I’ll usually do the story boarding which takes about a week (depending on how long the script is), plan the prop and costume list, get or make the props, audition the actors, location scout, do rehearsals, plan the filming schedule, get my equipment ready, FILM, come back home, drink coffee, then edit for about 1-2 weeks. Each short film takes about a month of production.
So that is a day in the life of me, Marina! As you can see, most of my days are fueled by coffee, and my ideas and thoughts are fueled by music. Check out my films and vlogs to stay updated and see what I work on next!
