It’s what you want to do. Directing actors, composing shots, editing sequences- THATS HOME.
But it’s difficult. If it wasn’t everyone would be making films. But aren’t they? This persons busy, has the fancy new camera., is getting paid to travel around the world. Why can’t that be me? Well It’s because you’re wasting your fucking time.
Why was productivity easier when I was younger? It’s because they hadn’t broke your fucking spirit yet. When you’re young you just move. You’re hungry. You’re a shark You have something to prove. You have something to say. What do you have to say now?
Start with an idea. You write it down. A funny scene. A thoughtful character. A theme you can get behind. You need to get inspired, you need momentum. Just get out of your head.
Write the thing. Cast the thing. Table read. Film the thing, it’s a marathon not a sprint, actually it’s a sprint fuck it. Whatever get the shot!
Okay. I made a movie. Now what? Where does it go? Film festivals? Been there done that. Twitch? Amazon Prime? All this just for a blu ray?
Why did I want to make this in the first place? Who was my audience? It’ll never be as important to them as it was to you. So what’s it all mean? What’s the point?
The melancholy is setting in. You should have hugged everybody the night you wrapped. It’s over now. In those moments we were living the dream.
I had it. I lost it. What’s next? You could be making a films.
It’s what you want to do.
