Making a movie or web series is non-trivial.
There's a reason movie credits are very long. There's a reason people go to college for it. There's a reason there's several distinct disciplines within the whole shebang.
First thing you want to do is read up on "the pitch", as in pitching your movie. And to do that you'll need a screen play. And to do that you'll need a story. And to do that...
How do I know? I've worked in movies for the last 20 years.
And with all good faith and sincerity I say good on you for wanting to make something new and best of luck. More creators is a great thing.

The things I did not mention in my original post due to space constraints was that students from TV and Film institutes across the world can participate in this project and can also adapt the script and other contents as they see fit for their local audience. I am just hoping for more participation in any form in this project.
- kleer001 7y agoI forgot to add that a volunteer project makes that project 100x harder to organize and finish. IMHO video projects don't happen and get finished unless you're running a school and have a set curriculum OR a lot of money OR a lot of experience running them. You're asking too much of random strangers. You'll want to have a screenplay ready to go, a schedule, a prospective set of roles. Why would students help you? What script? (It's not a script, it's a screenplay) Have you run a volunteer project before? Have you made a movie before? Either of them is amazingly difficult. Putting them together is a recipe for disappointment.
