become a filmmaker

I want to make movies and music videos. And I want to have my own company. So no one would tell me what to do and when.

So I’m thinking I’m going to go ahead and drop $300 or so on a nice camera on eBay. Friend at work that does some filming recommended the Canon HV20, and I can pick it up for not too much. Then I just have to worry about figuring out what to shoot. And learning to edit, and light, and all that fun stuff.

Hi friends,
I have strong aspiration of becoming a film maker, While I wanted do my post graduation in film making first. Could anyboby please help me regarding this. What would be the best film school and any other way to become a film maker. Please throw your best of your sugessions for me to digitalise my thoughts on to the silver screen.
If any of the producers , directors and someone related to films lurking through this site, kindly help me in reaching my destination. Throw your sugessions onto my mail ” aswinraju405@gmail.com “

Hi, Im 15, and Im in the works of making 3 full length films.
I love to make short films, and stuff like that, ad its cool to see the finishing product of my films.

My first full length movie is a remake of the 1974 classic horror movie Black Christmas (because the remake in 2006 kinda sucked), a remake of the 1978 classic horror film Halloween, and an original film known as When Darkness Falls.
Message me if you want more info about the films. I do also except ideas and requests for films.

Thanks.

Il post more when I have time.

I have made one film.. hopefully I can go on to college for a career in filmmaking

I don’t think I really wanted to ‘be a filmmaker’... I just wanted to be able to make films. I can edit video, so I could probably make a film if I wanted to, and I may do one day if I have need. So it’s not really a ‘give up’, it’s more a ‘realised I didn’t really mean to put it on my list’. Haha.

I want to become an award-winning drama filmmaker.

I’m 17 years old, I have a passion for movie making. I have 4 movies, written already. I don’t have the resources to produce the movies, seeing as how I am so young. I plan on attending The Film School Of Los Angeles, upon gradutation. Any directors, producers, or writers that may be lurking this site…Help would be greatly appreciated. My work has never been done before, all fresh ideas, all new concepts.

Get back to me.

It’s hard to know if I have any creative talent if I don’t take the plunge and learn to do it. But I’m afraid to commit to learning if I don’t know if I’m any good. I suppose I have to, though. Just because I don’t have any ideas for films now doesn’t mean I won’t somewhere down the line, after I’ve learned what to do with them. What’s important is the desire to create…right?

I’ve always loved stories and the art of their presentation, and I’ve always wanted to be a storyteller. When I was young, I wanted be a writer. Did some, never got very far. But as I grew older, I fell in love with film, and now I devour as many DVDs as I can, extras and all. I want to tell stories, so badly…but I can never quite make it come out. I’m afraid that means I just haven’t got, “it”. The only thought that gives me comfort is that my life has been more sheltered and uneventful than most, and I think any artistic endeavor needs a variety of life experience to feed on. You can’t make something from nothing, especially when it comes to creativity.

So, maybe I can open myself up to new and different experiences while I learn the technical aspects of the craft. That’s the plan, anyway. I just hope I discover talent I didn’t know I had.

Ever since I was a kid I have wanted to be a filmmaker. I have made several shorts, shown them in many cities, and am currently working on a screenplay. Is film school really the answer? Do film school students really graduate and live the life of a filmmaker that they want?
