This paper describes the process of creating a short author's film "Delete my mistake". In the film, the plot revolves around the main character Tom, who discovers the magical potion "Đuza" that enables him to return to the past. All stages of production are described, i.e. pre-production, production and post-production. Pre-production includes writing the treatment and synopsis, developing the characters, writing the script, the creation of a shooting book and the creation of a financial plan. The production phase includes the shooting of the film. The film was shot in interiors and exteriors in several locations and several people participated in it, who together form the acting and technical crew. The production phase is followed by post-production, which included editing, image and sound processing, adding sound and visual effects and animations. When the film is finalized, it is necessary to distribute it to the places for which it is intended (cinema, television, internet) and make a promotion in order to reach as many people as possible. It has been shown that it is possible to produce a short film with a minimum number of people and a small budget, with a lot of personal involvement and effort.
