Oct 24, 2009 - What the fuck do you mean "undergrad doesn't count"? Of course it does.

yak6ex Says:

Oct 24, 2009 - I was talking about a book called "Film School Confidential". Get a BA in something more marketable in the job market (business, economics or computers). Then get an MFA in cinema.

Nov 13, 2009 - Be aggressive. Read and learn..a lot. Always. Shoot your own projects,make mistakes until you have a reel. A different reel( Not a boring college restaurant scene.) No one cares. with your reel,use film school students and the schools equipment to shoot your projects..FREE. Everyone wins especially you if your aggressive. Save the $ on the film school but be AGGRESSIVE. Get on as a PA, Pay attention and know when to shut your mouth. NOBODY cares just listen,Stay out of the way and absorb.PUSH

Nov 19, 2009 - dude, what's your problem , if u want the kids that actually have hopes and dreams to keep there dreams to there self. keep your negative comments to yourself. your talking about stupid comments, but your's wasn't too smart either

sanchopanza123 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - well mr "coolguy" first of all, since when has free speech been illegal. I dont care if you or others dont like my opinion, but I am one of those who are obviously annoyed such stupid comments. you see, I dont say stuff so people like me or give me thumbs up. I say it like it is, ok and that is how it is in Life, what u want to give people false hopes, make them believe life's pink nice and dandy. If you think like this, your not doing them a favor. or ur in denial welcome to the real world!

coolguy45Q26 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - so how you want the "dreamers" to keep there dreams to themselves. maybe you should do the same. If people don't dream, then what are they hoping for./ I am in a sense like you. Im a realistic person, don't tell me im gonna be rich tomorow if the numbers don't add up today...ill give you that... but everybody wants to be something. And i bet that you want to be something more than what you are right now. You, like everyone else, have a dream that you would like to become true.

sanchopanza123 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - listen your trying to justify yourself I am not gonna waste my time here with you. ok. second you dont know me so dont say like u. yes dreams are good and excellent, specially when you dream about stuff that makes sense. specially on an art that deserves more respect than that, it includes devotion, hard work, you see teaching kids to dream about ilogical stuff like winning an oscar at 7yrs old doenst help them in the long run. how about makng them dream through some tools.

sanchopanza123 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - that they can actually use. note Treveymills advice! that is AWSOME that actually contributes more. that saying stupid shit. and the serious "dreamers" can learn from this. Im out since I'm just responding to your comn for the last time and will comment for contribution only. I was just annoyed, but comments like treveymills, keep em up!
