twenty years

{pictures taken by my mom}

Last Saturday, over Easter weekend, I directed my first film for real this time! I had actors and a crew consisting of a DP, boom operator, sound, slate, lighting and script and continuity. The title of my one scene is '20 Years'. The idea behind this film was inspired by the song, '20 Years' by The Civil Wars and other kind of real life events. I have learned how hard it is to make movies. I have so much more respect for independent film makers. It's only now that I understand that film makers really do pour their heart, soul and all their strength into making a film. I have learned to be gutsy when you work for yourself and so much more.
