14.1 to 50 about making a film

[mariella]

Hi, I am a documentarian and I am making a new film. Is not an easy one: is about boxing but not about sport. Is about grassroots boxing, far different from the one we see in tv, a community boxing helpful for every kind of people (young, woman, elder...) to improve your self determination and the way to cope with your difficulties also in the daily life.
It's a little bit complicate subject and I am actually in a sort of stop, still wandering how to put all in the best way.
I asked what shall I focus on to make the film (sorry for my english, I am Italian) and the answer was 14.1 to 50. I take it positive: seems I have the skills to do all. Even if is not a precise indication...
What do you think about it? Any suggestion? Thank you

14.1 > 50.
Put only the best ingredients into the soup.
Stay away from anything that could be harmful.
Perhaps a caution that your film should focus on the health benefits of boxing, the physical work out, and not promote the competitive side or the gambling.
Also could mean to be careful who you choose to work with, who helps finance your project. Only deal with good people.
50. makes me think you could be creating something that would interest -feed!- a large audience or conversely, perhaps you should aim for putting together something you yourself particularly value - don't sell out your vision, your Ting! - aim for creating a small masterpiece rather than something big but sloppy.

Good luck!

Thank you Rosada, the film point out exactly to the benefit of boxing, not only as a sport but also as a way to survive in the metropolitan areas! The doubt I had was on this subject, but I think now I can propose also this . Thank you!

Hello
Interesting..
I got this line about 4 years ago. I could have gone on a short sea Kayak expedition - over a weekend - or gone on a much longer exciting but potentially difficult expedition. I took it that the short version would be better. It was. I had a superb time wonderful weather and fantastic people. The longer version had to abort half way through for various reasons When I get this line I always feel that anything that is too ambitious could prove just too much.

A small masterpiece over something sloppy - I like that!
