:I'm even considering film school so that I have a piece of paper on the wall certifying that I did something academic.
I don't kow much about getting a film made but what I do know is that any academic training in ANYTHING can't hurt you. BUT it means NOTHING if you don't have the drive and dedication to get things done.
: My question: What is the best way to handle all the people who say you can't do it? Do I just not listen? Do I laugh heartily in their faces while at the same time defiantly challenging their assumption? Do I just tell them to F off and do what I feel I'm good at?
I wonder if questions like this should ever even be brought up. Kevin, Vincent, myself or anyone [i hope] would most likely tell you the same thing DO IT! Get off yer ass and make it happen. Do whatever it takes. Kevin made his first film by maxing out credit cards and look what happened. Sure it's risky as hell but nothing of worth is ever easy.
and on that note, Good Luck.
