Yet another aspiring filmmaker here.
I guess my question is: Is it insane to try to learn how to do almost everything yourself?
Living in West Virginia there’s very few people ( well... none that I know of ) to really get help from. It’s extremely overwhelming just trying to learn writing and directing at the same time not mention lighting/cinematography, sound, editing/post related work etc. and still that’s not even touching on the stress of buying and learning how to use everything I need AND knowing the odds of being successful are stacked against me.)
It would be nice one day to be able to find other people that know their stuff. But as for now it seems like I have to learn it all and teach people that would be willing to help as best as I can.
I hope it’s not an impossible task because I HAVE to do this. It’s all I want and all I ever wanted. And I’ll never give up. I just don’t want to wake up as an old man one day and realize that I’ve still only become good enough to make amateur crap. I’m 21 now and I just hope to have a feature made that I can be proud of (and maybe not be in debt because of it) by the time I’m 25.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
