Anna has escaped a top secret facility. Why was she locked away and why are they after her? Let's find out. - (MY FIRST MICRO SHORT FILM) TIME. was my first micro short film I ever wrote and directed. I wanted to shoot a no budget micro (under a minute) film. And when I say no budget, I mean not one penny was spent filming this project. The old me wouldn't want to show this project, but I feel it was a good learning experience and I know today I am a much better filmmaker overall. You can do a lot with a few friends and some camera gear. Grab your camera and go make a film. Practice makes you a better filmmaker!
