Been doing shoestring budget indie stuff since the 90s. Directed a feature back in 2003 called Falling Apart. Which was my biggest filmmaking achievement. One more short film after that feature and I haven't done another since. I did start working professionally as a videographer/editor for a local company about fourteen years ago, and now have been freelancing for the last year or so. Doing corporate work.
Still some filmmaking desire left in me after all these years. But no desire to try and "make it" in the industry in any way. That has long since passed, back in my early twenties. If anything I would return to it if it was something I did with friends. Something small and fun. Just for us. I believe strongly more than ever that not all films have to try and reach a big audience. Some films can be just for the people who made them (and maybe some of their friends). Like any other hobby people do where they aren't trying to impress the world with their results.
Unfortunately my friends are busy with their lives and some live out of state now. So that makes things difficult. But maybe one day.
