Some months ago now, I dramatically edited the script, cutting about 10 pages out by deleting a character (elements of which wound up in other characters) and further sanding down my awkward dialogue. Overall, it was always planned as a long-ish short film, being less than feature length, but more substantial than what a 10 minute time limit affords. As it stands, it's about 30 pages, down from 40.
I'm starting to do video work for friends' bands, recording gigs (well, two so far), and I've overhauled my editing software, because it turns out there was more to editing HD footage than I first thought. But at least I'm coming to grips with it and getting practice.
The making of a no-budget movie, from start to finish.
