What resin are you using ? There are lots of complaints about water-based resins . I've found anycubic basic to work fine for most things (increase exposure time by 0.5-1.0 seconds for dark or strongly coloured resins)
Temperature is another factor , the printer and resin needs to be above 18-91'C to work at all and, generally, the warmer the better. I have my saturn in a cupboard with a small fan heater for winter prints , because the shed where the printer is installed is unheated).
If you have to print when cool, heating the build plate to touch-hot (~40-50'C) can make the important first layers stick.
RE: the FEP sheet. I wonder if you have the sheet tight enough? When fitted correctly the FEP should ring like a drum and resonate when you speak at it (like those 'reverb' toys ) .
