I have some ideas, but I don’t think I would be so lucky to actually try to get things made in Hollywood, so I’ve a mind to produce it myself (it worked for Shane Carruth). I don’t know where I’d go or what research I’d need to conduct to embark on such an undertaking. Is there a community somewhere or some notable figures who are disposed to give advice to a first-time filmmaker?
This is it.
Ideas are a dime a dozen. People want evidence you can do things.
A YouTube filmmaker making a dozen 10 min stories with their friends is way more likely to get paid work. That paid work leads to other doors opening up.
