| Quotes: |
Probably the two most important things are: 1) Persistence. You will fall down and have setbacks and disappointments and dry periods without work. Don't give up. Stay in the game and continue to learn, grow and meet new people. That is key. 2) Evolve. Study your strategies vs. results and adjust course. Pay attention to what works for your peers and those who have come before. Ask for advice from experienced filmmakers. Definitely do not keep pursuing a course of action that is producing no results or poor results. I have seen so many people ruin their careers because they were inflexible and unable to adapt.
<br />
<hr>
Surely you have known people in your life who latch onto the stupidest little things to criticize while overlooking all the positive?<br />
<br />
It's like that. You have to allow for dealing with all kinds of personalities. You have to do your best with your presentation to NOT give those critics something to lose focus on.<br />
<br />
I cannot emphasize enough how brutally competitive this business is. You need to be in the habit of giving yourself every advantage. Polish off any aspect which is less than perfect. Make sure your expressions, while remaining authentic to your vision, are flawless.<br />
<br />
Because if you aren't - your competition sure is!!! Don't let them win all the jobs/connections/clients.<br />
<br />
Burn this habit into your wiring early on:<br />
<br />
Be impeccable. Always. |
