How to be a filmmaker?

Learning how to be a filmmaker starts with you leaning how to say no to the BS!

There is an old adage out there about how to be a filmmaker, and it starts with the myth that you have to “take one on the chin” in order for you to pay your dues.

This is a myth that has kept many people in chains throughout their careers, and has caused a vast majority of aspiring filmmakers to give up. 

Here is a short video on this subject. I try my best to debunk this myth and offer a different insight on how to be a filmmaker.

Enjoy!
