Hi! I've loved film making since I was 8, using an old camera and my friends as unpaid actors. After I finish school, I hope I can pursue cinematography or directing as a career. I've never shown my films to anyone from outside of my Close People, but hope to enter a local 'young film-maker' contest in a while.
Does anyone else like making movies?

I did a little acting for a couple buddies who are indie filmmakers. To quote Rowdy Roddy Piper on his acting ability: "I'm somewhere between Laurence Olivier and Rin Tin Tin."

That's great. I went to film school and made a few shorts. But this was way back, we were still shooting on 16mm film. I think the year I left film school was the year they bought their first digital camera.

It's great that its so much easier now with equipment so easy to get and use. If you want to make a career out of it then just don't stop. Keep making movies with your friends and doing it off your own steam. Eventually something will come of it. Good luck!

I have seen his acting, and enjoyed it. Behind the scenes, receiving direction. I wish there was more of this.

sharkeatssocks, is there chance you will ever post some of your videos on YouTube?
