Dude, you're getting this wrong. Some people here already gave you a good advice, but I'd like to tell you one last thing.
You're not supposed to try to impress people, you just need to find your own voice, your own subjects, your own style and work with it. Who cares if you're over 30? Start to enjoy the path instead of the destination because that's what all this is about.
Some people are better learning by themselves, some are better being mentored in an institution. I think that institutions are good mostly for putting you in contact with other people wI think the same interests and the same level as you, and that helps a lot in finding the most suitable crew.
Just relax, think of what moves you, what do you want to tell and then try to do that as simply as possible. It's the soul of a project what makes it good, not only technicalities.
