Research and Working EQ

1) My working EQ is: "What is the most essential aspect in regard to the creation of a successful independent film?"

2) Some possible answers to my working EQ are:

  • To show dedication in exposing a controversial social issue through the use of thought-provoking material, in addition to a unique story and/or characters. 
  • To maximize profits by getting a film with a gimmicky idiosyncrasy retained in a film festival.
  • To leverage relationships with fellow filmmakers in order to create strategic collaborations that don't compromise the vision.
3) The most important source that I have used that has helped me come up with an answer to my working EQ has been my source #19 in my WB; It is the second scholarly source that I have used, and the author is astonishingly verbose in concisely describing the topic in the greatest of detail. All of my other sources have gradually acquainted me further to the topic.

5) I've decided to have 2 mentors: my aunt and my uncle. They are both independent filmmakers that live together, and work in different departments. My aunt works as a writer and in the art department, while my uncle mostly directs and produces. Having 2 mentors that work in separate departments of independent film should help me broaden my area of expertise on the topic of independent film.
