Learning and Outcome (Self-Reflection)
Genesis is a student project, but as a student film, it is a great film, and the experiment was fruitful. The execution of the project was so hard that we changed the script a lot. Genesis could be a better film if we had more budget and time for the pre-production, but there is no point in comparing an experiment and a finished product.
