During covid my entire life came to an abrut halt, I was one of the last acts to perform at the Magic Castle before the shut down, no comedy clubs, no schools. or libraries, or cruise ships, or ad in fanitum. So out of boredom me and a buddy threw up a green blanket against my garage back wall and created a green screen and produced a 24 episode Adnentures Of Senor Leche
I hope you get your film done and congrats on the delayed projects you finally got finished.
I have a lot of projects unfinished, which I am now addressing. I have abandoned all of the kids' projects that I had created because I'm not into that audience any longer. I am also done with pitch decks, I'm producing all of the stuff I've put on hold while trying to play in the industry by the industry rules.
One other element Terry Gilliam failed to mention in what he needs to finish a film - MONEY!
Before Harry Potter, I had a dream about a young princess who is running through a castle with energy bolts slamming into the castle around her, fired by an evil warlock who wants to kill her dying father and control the realm. She reaches her father’s deathbed, then is sent by her father’s ancient, feeble wizard to our dimension, carrying a jewel that will give her the power to return and save the kingdom when she turns 18. An aging warrior is sent to protect her and the jewel. Just as they vanish for their journey, the warlock reaches the king’s bedroom.
In the transference, the princess is separated from both the jewel and her warrior guardian. The jewel lands in the lap of a high school guy who suddenly finds he has magical powers. The princess has to find the jewel, and in doing so she finds the boy. The old warrior goes through his own fish-out-of-water experiences, too, but eventually they all meet up at a school football field during a Friday night game just as the warlock is crashing through into our world. That’s when I woke up.
I got about 150 pages written on this in 1992-1995 and just stopped due to family and work pressures. Then Harry Potter hit. This project crosses my mind occasionally.
The first 90% of a project takes 90% of the time. The last 10% of the project also takes 90% of the time.
That film sounds like fun! Finish it. And I swear I'm going to finish my GD novel and have it ready to go to agents and publishers this fall!

I think momentum is a big thing...trying to get the whole thing finished quickly is something I have never been great at.
I think the accountability of this group definately helps me get the finger out though
Too many unfinished projects to count. To be fair, some were abandoned in acknowledgment of the sunk cost fallacy.
