I actually thought the top post had a bit of a "scare the competition away" undertone to it and was greatly amused by that fact. :asd:

I got a "Here's how it is, for better or for worse" impression.

Really great post man, even with your "final words", this was more motivating than anything else to me.
I'm currently studying Film & Visual Design (2nd year), and get to work as both editor and director, both separately and at the same time. And it is really thrilling and I AM looking forward to be, perhaps, working with this professionally in the future.

As my plans look now, I will be joining up at a, at the time, small film company founded by some of my old upperclassmen.
Working up through entering various film festivals and also by doing comercial shots for various (minor, but needing) clients, it'll not for starters be a company with any economic gain besides budget for future short film productions - but will, hopefully, slowly but steadily rise up in said "industry" at some point.


Call me naïve, maybe it's all a childish dream of some sort. But hey, at least I'm giving it a shoot.

and the problem is??????

nah, that´s why I decide to study administration, there is nothing better than being your own boss, (and being able to work anywhere)

and the morality is if you have a dream, keep it secret, but make it real and ain´t gonna be easy. :book:
