Well my adventure here at this online school/course is pretty much all but over.
It climaxed with me flying out to Los Angeles to pitch a screenplay.
Basically a worthless and expensive exercise....especially since the producer they arranged for me to meet is all but out of the game...so what was the point?
Shame on them for doing that, talk about incompetent..I mean if I were mean spirited I'd say something, and maybe I will later, but trying to stay positive.
My advice for anyone wanting to get into film, instead of wasting your money on courses, or some expensive course, just use that money to make your film, hire a film crew, etc, and learn as you go on your own set...and others will help you.
Cause in the end, they will tell you that to make a film you need financing, so why waste your money in school, when could finance your own first movie and work on getting it bought or distributed.
It's really that simple...you fund your own first low budget movie, and that way you have creative say in the process, with advice from those working for you, like the director of photography etc.
Anyways, I'm not home, so will keep this short, but will add more later.
A bit wore out and have a whole day of traveling to do tomorrow.
I don't know how celebrities or news people do it, I mean flying, airports, packing, going through security, having your stuff searched, it all takes a lot out of you...and then the crummy flight, the scary landing, the crambed seats...no thanks.
traveling by air is way overrated...
