About every film major at state thinks there gonan make it big, but i can't think of one famous filmaker from state, and there are only about 50 famous filmakers at any given time, out of all the schools, and people in america, your odds aren't looking to good. Do something socially concisous (duh).

yeah i really implied that i thought i was going to make it big. its really just 1/1000th of my actual motivation to do anything anymore, but it was a big part of it since i first started to flirt with the idea in junior high. i think i'll make the right decision.

I had the same conflict over majors/art last year. There was a period I "hated" art when I felt disillusioned by its corporate pomp and lack of real importance. But I learned to accept it for what it is, a silly pasttime that won't feed the hungry but is REALLY enjoyable and inspiring, and I'm pretty happy with art again.

A bit like reaquainting yourself with a childhood mentor as an adult. Hey, I realize you're human now, you're imperfect and you make mistakes, but all-in-all a pretty neat person.

Oh, however I would like to add, it did take me changing majors to enjoy art objectively. Part of it is I no longer feel responsible for it and enjoy its merits without feeling like I'm wrapped its finger. But we all have our own ways of working things out.

thats really the way i'm feeling more about it as i'm learning about other things. i'm starting to find more motivating and interesting things that dont have anything to do with me dreaming about being "on the top".. say.. its almost like the reverse american dream.

just try to think of art that's changed your life or art that you think has made any considerable impact on the way society thinks about things

my intentions originally were selfish and lazy. i wanted to make it big, blow peoples minds and be an asshole all at the same time. i really liked watching movies and it excited me being on sets and whatever. sounding like most film majors, i knew that the industry was going to save me from all this bullshit.

i do have some ambitions though. maybe because in the seven years or so that i've spent saying that i'm going to be a filmmaker, i've never made a single movie.

i want to finish this script that i've been writing for the past four months. produce it with my old art teacher and get some of the bored ass Woodland teenagers involved. it wont be hard.. then ill cut something that we'd love to look back on. i dont want to get famous i just need to get it out of my system. thats the plan. (and i wouldnt mind making more money at the orphanage. its just not the only thing i'd want to do)

Actors ahoy.

Also--search around that community's members.
Many have hook ups in the Sacramento Theatre Company, and with other young filmmakers/techies that would kill for something in their portfolio, and are far more bad ass than most if not all "bored ass Woodland teens".

Just to let you know.

dont be a bastard. its important to your life if it's what you want to do, and if you do it well, it can be very important to society. what is life without art?

and your dad is my mexican american history teacher

[noboardingpass]
