This is very, very good advice. Many of my most successful projects also started small-ish - including my first feature film, my 500k visitors/month website and my current project starring some Pretty Famous Actors.
Having said that, in the case of film I tend to have more of a problem keeping the damn project small long enough to release something - hence why my average time-between-releases is about 3 years. This seems to be something of an endemic problem in the pretty-pictures-moving-on-a-screen industry, as James Cameron and Joss Whedon, for example, demonstrate.
I wonder - does anyone have any good ideas for how to create an MVF (Minimum Viable Film)? Would be interested to have a discussion on this.
