Wow.
Hey, you guys. I'm sorry Ive been off the blog for as long as I have, but you have absolutely no idea how crazy things have been - or how much I've learned.
Perhaps the most important thing I've learned to anyone hoping to break into the industry is just how critical it is to produce at least some your own work.
Once you start producing your own films, your competence in business, your ability to get what you need, and how well you work with others all become instantly apparent. Respect comes quickly, so long as you do a good job along the way.
With that respect comes a flood of opportunity. Producing sucks, nobody wants to do it, and as soon as people realize you can...
Use that power for good. If you help other people with their goals, instead of pushing your own agenda, you're going to be able to build strong, positive relationships - and what you wind up with is the network and the foundation to make just about any kind of movie.
From there, making the films you want to make is pretty straightforward. If your story or your business model is a little unusual, some of the folks in your network will be willing to take your lead regardless.
Show them you're a leader, and everything will fall into place.
