Advice? Network. If you wanna make it in the film industry, you have to go to a lot of gatherings and make a lot of connections. Save up as much money as you can, buy film equipment, and make amateur films with your friends. Create a social media presence by releasing them online (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook) preferably in snippets. Register a film company. Have film runs in your house, charge like 5$ before slowly but surely increasing. I'm moving to a small college town for my graduate school, and it's the perfect place to do this kind of thing. Give me some contact info if you want to continue talking.

Thanks!

Learn humility you're not as smart as you think, child
Get a Bachelor's degree. You can barely earn a living wage without one. You have to have one to work at Starbucks ffs

>coworker's face when op spouts philosophy shit lel

As a person in a similar situation but music instead of filmmaking i would advise against school for a creativity related field. All the douchenozzles that go to music schools are retards and end up coming out thinking they are skilled because they paid 30,000 for something that can be learned online. They also end up working at starbucks instead of music.

Thanks.
My pretentiousness is a defense mechanism, I'm not really self-confident. I'm also surrounded by members of my family who are less educated but are smarter than me so I quickly recognize and patronize people who aren't that intelligent.

Excellent advices, thank you!
I thought about that but my "friends" - who are much more privileged and have access to film equipment - are the type of lazy people who always talk about projects and never accomplish anything. [email protected]

if you truly claim to be above your philosophy classes, then you can self learn if you truly care about it and want to inject those serious themes into your work, just get a library card and make sure you are reading the elite works. Filming can be done VERY cheaply, unless you are making micheal Bay trash. You can either torrent Adobe Aftereffects and work on your editing skills, or just work within your limitations and do simple scenes in cities/nature without fancy FX. I don't know shit about the industry, but you could make entertaining and thoughtful shorts, upload them to youtube/vimeo, and then release actual movies as well once you have a fanbase. Find a EZmode minimum wage job like starbucks that won't sap all of your energy and you can hire amateur actors from craigslist and support yourself.
