Talk about your project and ask how they would approach it. Ask them to share ideas on how to make your film special. This gives you a sense of their creative thinking and problem-solving.
How do I agree on what the filmmaker will deliver?
Make a list of what you expect, like a script, filming, and editing. Discuss each item with the filmmaker to make sure they can do it. Write down this agreement so everyone knows what to expect.
