The Film Director/Producer Lifestyle

What I love about the Film Makers Lifestyle is the variety. You are always working on different film projects and going to interesting film festivals overseas. Travel is a great benefit. I have just arrived back from Cannes Film Festival France and Ireland. I stopped off to see friends in Dubai. In November I am off to the American Film Market in Santa Monica LA USA ( all expenses paid by Day in the Life $1 million production I worked on16) I will have two movies on sale. I will then go to Nashville Tennessee to meet the subject of my next film. He is a young man who was framed for a crime he did not comitt and was locked up in a Peruvian jail for three years. His innocence was proved in the end, It will be a big budget film and will be shot in Miami and South America. . The point is even as a short film maker you will travel. Get used to Airports. I see the benefits of a Film Directors Producers lifestyle

• Getting paid to do what you love.
• Working with so many different types of people
• Travel A Film Maker travels all over the world.
• Working on passion projects that you love heart and soul
• Meeting fascinating interesting people all over the world

The point is that for you to get to this lifestyle. you need to make films now. I believe that short films are only a training ground and you need to get to a feature film as soon as possible. When you can make a really cool 10 – 15 minute short film, then move to low budget feature films that you can make on the weekends and put your heart and soul into it. Then enter film festivals and sell sell sell. I guarantee that this is the quickest way to the above lifestyle. Years of Film School can be good but it can slow you down. The best film shcool is “Get out there and make mistakes and make films NOW.” Thats why you need the three month film school to get you off to an incrediable start.
