Question: How do you know if you want to be a movie director!?
hey everyone, i have a passion for movies, I love them, from musical to action movies, love them all, and since about 4 years ago, i made up my mind to become a movie director!. It was my freshman year in high school and when i wrote my first script, so i tried to find people for it, and i thought i did but they took me as a joke, so i put down the script for a while, till my junior year in high school, i re wrote it, tried to get people for it again, and they still took me as a fool, it was going to happen, on june the 1st 2007 it was the rehearsal day, no one showed up, tried contacting everybody, no one answered, so when my senior year finally came around, i re wrote my script again, but this time didnt bother because out of all the times i asked, it broke me, and see i think my problem is now is that, since that happened i dont know if i want to become a movie director!. Now that i graduated from high school, and going to full sail, i just wonder is it really what i want to do!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Your main problem was that you were asking friends or acquaintances not real or student actors!. You could take film classes if it's offered at your colleges where you are residing!.

If you have PASSION, you won't let anything stop you from your dream!. You will not quit, you'll find another way, then another way, and so on!.!.!.
