Less face it, its very difficult to make a career in the film business. And it should be. Its a dream job, and dream jobs don’t come true by dreaming. I would say it’s 99% doing, 1% dreaming. Reverse that for dreamers! But its not impossible. I am cool with the odds. Especiallly with all the new tools and platforms at our disposal that previous filmmakers never had. But its a biz that has no room for negativity. You have to have to be an absurd optimist.
So I don’t have much sympathy or time for those who can only see what you CANT do. That sort of attitude is a negative force to me that I dont follow. Negativity is all around me in real life with a lot of society, from people who think the world owes them a better life.
I get upset for souls who have no opportunties in life, people in countries who have to fight just to live and eat. Or have to walk 20 miles just to get a bucket of water. I don’t feel sorry for myself or other broke budding filmmakers. If that makes me a hard c*unt, then thats who I am. But to make a career in this biz, you have to be tough and honest with yourself.
