When friendship prevents honest creative disagreement in collaborative projects

My filmmaking friends and I have been developing a project together for months and we've realized we all have completely different ideas about what story we're telling but we've been nodding along in meetings because we're friends and didn't want to create conflict and now we're too deep in to back out gracefully.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
