I plan to shoot my film exclusively on Sat and Sun's in April. For a full length feature, is it possible to get it done on this schedule, or will I probably need more time?
You're talking 8 days, right?
If it's 80 pages that's 10 pages per day. I can shoot that - can you?
I've done it because I have the experiences and use an skilled,
experienced cast and crew. And even then, getting 10 pages per
day is fast shooting with little coverage - and it better be a simple
shoot.
I don't know the skill or experience of your crew and your actors
so there is no way to estimate if this is something you can do.

Shooting on weekends is doable but you need to be organized and have limited locations. You also need to worry about cast and crew scheduling.
Lastly it is tiring losing your weekends. You'll have to try extra hard to keep people interested and on topic without pissing them off so they quit.
