What is Standard Story Company?
I'm Kent Lamm, an independent filmmaker living in Los Angeles. My goal with this channel is to help other filmmakers improve the storytelling in their films, and to be a home for my own work.
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as an editor, cutting videos for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.

MISSING, starring Storm Reid, is a standalone sequel to the computer-screen-thriller SEARCHING. MISSING is also a screen-based film, and the editors, Arielle Zakowski and Austin Keeling, were kind enough to show me their very specific and unique post workflow to create it. As their first studio feature film, they really got thrown in the deep end working on such a technically challenging film, but their results speak for themselves - it's a great movie! And wonderfully edited. Go check out MISSING in theaters now, and see the extended 45 minute version of my interview with Austin and Arielle on my Patreon: patreon.com/standardstoryco

About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.

Don't spend thousands of dollars buying filmmaking gear when you can get up and running for a fraction of the cost by renting. Renting cameras and other film gear is an excellent way to test the waters with different tools and brands, while also getting more production value in your project.

I've been making short films since I was a kid, as well as a couple of no budget feature films, a ton of YouTube videos, a handful of unproduced feature scripts, etc. But I wasn't always so productive. In fact there were a couple periods on my life where I went over a year without making anything.
In this video I discuss the biggest mindset shifts that broke my spell of chronic procrastination, and got me writing, making movies, and taking control of my creative life again.

I cut out the dead air but the original recording was 15 minutes. Not bad to get the bones of a character and story on paper from nothing! Hope this demystifies the writing process a bit. You could do this 5-10 times and probably have something you'd want to develop further into an actual film.

I think the DJI Mic is the best all-round if you have the budget. The 7RYMS DW30 has the same features but is a bit clunkier; it's the smart choice if you're on a budget. The Comica Boom XU-QUA wins if you want to mic up a bunch of actors on the cheap.

Janicza Bravo's film Zola is an inspiring example of how to direct a film and imbue it with an original VOICE. Without a strong voice, your film will be another generic title among the thousands made every year!

This project took about a week and $1k. It would have gone a lot faster if I didn't also have to film it. But now my office feels so much more spacious and it's just easier to get things done.
Between the Wall Control pegboard and the freed up space in the cabinets, finding the gear/tools I need is so fast. And with the filing cabinet I don't have random papers sitting around anymore. I have a hard time being creative when my space is cluttered, so for me this was a good investment.
Hope you get some inspiration for your own little office / workspace. For reference, my office is 10x7 feet.

About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.

One thing I forgot to mention - get some decent over the ear headphones (not earbuds) to monitor your sound on set. This topic was too big for one video!
Disclaimer: 7RYMS sent me their mics for free, but had no say over my review or how I featured them. The noise floor was higher than the DJI Mics, but they were reliable and I think they're a good value.

More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month.

I forgot to mention one thing in the video - if you aren't in a rush to film your project, and have the patience to fill out a bunch of applications, applying to filmmaking grants can be a great way to raise money for a film (although I've never done it myself). Try searching for short film grants on Google to find one relevant to your project.
