Many of us aspire to be creative in one form or the other, but we carry within us hindrances to either doing our work or moving it out into the world (commonly called “marketing”) -- or both. We think we are not good enough, our work is not good enough, we lack enough talent or imagination or commitment, we can’t trust the future, we need more ambition and drive, and on and on. We cannot get beyond our fears and start doing our artistic work full-out and then putting our work out there for other …

Filmmaking became accessible for virtually everyone. Shooting on film is beautiful and as a Director/Writer I love it but I've seen remarkable Motion Pictures shot on cell phones and full frame digital cameras. There are many ways to make it in the Film Industry: Write a screenplay - hand it to an agent; make a short - send it to a festival; go to film school - make commercials/music videos; the key is MEET PEOPLE, WORK HARD TOGETHER, BE TENACIOUS and make films - don't talk about making them an …
