I was recently contacted by a friend who is seriously considering quitting there day job to pursue a path into filmmaking. They wanted some pointers from someone who was crazy enough to do this --> ME.
Though I don't have the exact answers, here are 5 thoughts I shared with them, and now with you, from my own personal experiences:
1. Know What You Want:
Sounds simple enough, but it's something you must be sure of before starting your journey. Do you want to be a successful Screenwriter? Director? Cinematographer? Pimp? It's GOT to be specific. Theoretically speaking, it'll be your guiding light in the dark.
Nb: Mine was "I want to make films." In hindsight, this was too much of a broad brush stroke.
