: Alright, so film making thus far has been a monumental disappointment for me... Studios are literally filled, jam-packed, with assholes who won't give a brother a chance. Agents just don't care. Ok, screw them.
: But I'm going to make films even if it means the obliteration of myself and everything around me...
: Dude, whats your advice???
: You must have gone through the same shit as everybody else so how did you deal with it and what can you say to a guy with the drive of Millenium Falcon but a budget of "cero"?
Kevin's advice would be, and has been in the past, go make a film. He really didn't have to go through all the bullshit because he went out and made his own film on his own terms. That's his experience, so that's what he'd say (and has said on many occasions).
